The EJ's Voyage

JOY! JOY! JOY!  2nd grandchild is born!!! We understand that it wasn't an easy birth for Emma but baby and Mum are both fine. Oliver (Ollie) Douglas EJ arrived at 1.44am on the 8th of the 8th 2011. Just a shame we can't be there to welcome Ollie to this world in person. We have to wait to see the photos to be in Tonga with internet access. We are dying to get there now.
 
Unfortunately, our sailing conditions are not brilliant. Too much or too little wind, lumpy sea, wind changing direction on a regular basis. So it is a painfully slow progress. But in hope to be in Vava'u in 2 days.
 
With all the baby news the spirit is good onboard. We'll look forward to catch up on our sleep when finally in Tonga and hope that the mooring field will be calm. Enough of rock'n rolling!!!
 
Love
Mike and Catherine
