Happy Sailors in Hawaii!!! - May 8
Solis log: 21 53'59N 159 35'23W
Yesterday we safely arrived in Port Allen on the south side of Kauai. It was a tremendous feeling getting off the boat and tying up to shore. There really is a lot to write about and many many details, pictures, video, etc. to follow. But it has already proven to be a busy day. Customs, immigration and because of a few complications with our location, we (Luke and I) will be moving the boat today from Port Allen to Nawiliwili on the east side of the island. Dad will be taking a bus...For now I just wanted to say that I was personally surprised about my personal state when I arrived. I called my sister Taj (who graciously volunteered to manage the English blog) when we arrived to say we arrived safely. I was feeling great. Strong, the invincible captain!!!....but then, I could hear some emotions on the other end of the line and I could feel a few tears falling on the other end. And the invincible captain began to melt and tears began to fall. It was more of an emotional experience than I originally anticipated. Anyway, so much to write, but so little time today. Please expect a major post from me in the next couple of days. A few more pretty good stories to come as well....and pictures and hopefully some video clips. So until my next post, thanks so much for everything!!!

(hope your cheeseburgers were as tasty as mine was)(and Ron must already be out of the hospital if he's on a bus -- a good sign!)
We traveled the depths and distance with them and now they are back on land, safe and sound. Wow.
Amazing. Incredible. As we used to say in the 60's.....what a trip!
With love and gratitude....Toni
