St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen. Awomen we say as well.

GoodNewsLetter BAD NEWS SELLS, BUT WE DON’T CARE, WE SHARE ONLY GOOD NEWS

The Good News Worldwide Is:

When some people create bad news, there are many more who work to fix it,

When some people break laws, many more obey them.

When some people are mean, many more love their fellow man/woman.

When some people think that are different from others (race, color & creed) there are many more who realize that we are all related Homo sapiens, with the same blood color and heart beating.

When some people disrespect the animal and plant kingdoms and nature there are many who believe we are part of them, especially since most medicine and food evolves from them.

The Good News Is: There are many more compassionate, loving, caring people on Mother Earth or good odds man/woman would not have survived for all these years.

29.50 N, 59.58 W, Course SE, Wind light

In our last update, we sent a picture of the crew in the cockpit together. The ocean didn’t show it but we were bounding along at over six knots. Shortly thereafter we decided to shorten sail as the wind increased. It seemed like the wind picked up even more and before we got the mainsail down there was a tear in the leach. After dark, the wind increased more from the SW and because with just the staysail up we could only run off the wind, we lowered all sail and rode the storm under “bare poles.” The wind howled and the weather forecast said “winds gusting up to 50 knots.” The waves were bigger than any we have seen the whole voyage. After two days the storm calmed down and we raised sail again. We marveled at the big transparent waves and the low rainbows that came with afternoon squalls. There were lots of leaks and spilled food but we survived again.

Now we are drifting and bobbing in smooth seas. Alex threw the fishing line and caught our fist mahi-mahi. After a long awaited fish feast, everybody got back to sewing sails and routine maintenance jobs basking in the warmest sun yet. Our stereo speakers are on deck and everybody is listening to Christmas music. Darshen’s favorite music are the songs sung by the little boy choirs.
