Tonite we walked in the door of our house…officially bringing an end to our family adventure sailing through the islands on Amel. Thank you Reid and Rheta, from the bottom of our hearts, for giving us this amazing family opportunity. Thank you Amel for keeping us safe and sound on this journey and providing the means for such a wonderful experience. We are also so thankful for all the family and friends that supported our crazy plan and helped us along our journey, especially in times of crises and in keeping our home & cars safe while we were away! And thanks to many of you following along sending us encouraging and fun comments/emails along the way…..it was always wonderful to hear from you and know you were enjoying the journey too.It’s a longer-than-usual 11 day March break here in Basalt so many people are out of town right now. Henry and Emma get an extra few days to get used to being home before returning to school with all their friends on Monday April 1. It will be nice to have a few days altogether to slowly get reacquainted with land life!
We landed in 60F gray skies in Aspen, snow on the mountains, bulbs blooming in the garden, sun tomorrow then snow storm on Friday. Sounds like spring in the mountains when you get a bit of everything. We did watch the sunset from our front porch…while wearing sweaters…it was a much shorter sunset appreciation then in Amel’s cockpit I must say!
Day 113 – The journey comes to an end
