I heard from Steve four hours ago that they were leaving the dock, heading for home. Bringing “Pablo” to Moss Landing, near our home. I am sad not to be with them on this journey. This is Steve’s first overnight (multiple night) passage. It is now 8:30 and the sun is beginning to set. I think about how they have started rotation. I wonder if Steve is on first watch or second? Will he be up when they round Point Conception? Are they eating the brownies I made? Is the crew getting into a groove?
I know that my thoughts and heart will be with them these next couple of days. I know that people do this trip all the time. I know that the crew is very experienced, but still my mind wonders…..
This will be a long three days.

I bet they’re having a blast and your brownies are toast. =) Good luck, hope the boat does well on its way home.
Thank you Tate. Steve got some spotty cell phone coverage today and said things were going great! We have been following you and Dani on your blog for about 5 months now. You two are doing some amazing work on your boat. Thanks so much for sharing. It is so inspirational. And Yes, Steve said they are loving the brownies 🙂
