Bryan,
Last night we had a great dinner of lobster (traded w/fisherman for gas) and went to bed in this delightful place, with flat seas, no wind and a HUGE full moon. In the reflected light of this moon I could see the object all the fish, what they were jumping out of the water for, millions of little bugs. Other than the noise of fish feeding, it was delightfully tranquil place.
So we went to bed. Then in the middle of the night, we were awaken by both a rolling swell and the noise of a forward bilge pump, going on/off/on/off/on, driving me crazy. I had to empty out the contents of the lazarette and climb down to the bottom and sponge out a small amount of water, to get the pump shut off. Magic is still rolling side to side as much as she can (a mono hull boat anchored by us was having a worse time of it) in this flat calm w/swell and as I go back to bed, Caroline decides to sleep in the cockpit. Looking at the clock I see it's after 1 a m and lying in bed I realize and call out: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYAN!!!"
Yes, we are thinking of you, even in the middle of the night. That's fitting, because 20 years ago, you came to us at 12:25 a m. We hope you have a splendid day celebrating your birth! A mile stons has happened and you are no longer a teen ager. We hope you enjoy this decade as much as the last one!
LOVE, dad & mom
