When we left Skagua on Dec 18, our plans did not include traversing half of the United States twice, nor did our plans include Brian joining us. It was supposed to be 3 weeks and now six weeks later, we just returned to our floating home yesterday. Here is a brief recounting of our December and January. Girls and I flew to Colorado in time to put up Christmas decorations with my mom, and spend lots of time with my brother and his family. After Christmas, we drove to Kansas the same day Brian flew in. After the New Year we drove back to Colorado for a few days, then on to California. In California, we took care of a few appointments, checked in on our home, saw friends, visited my sister, got our car repaired. Then we drove back to Kansas in sub-freezing weather. Five more days in Kansas allowed us to see Deje’s ability to swallow and eat improve greatly. We also celebrated his birthday. Then BACK to Colorado to drop Eloise off at my mom’s house, say goodbye. Then we flew to LA and down to Loreto, Baja Mexico, yesterday.
Skagua is 100% fine. No theft or damage at all. The only thing I noticed when we came aboard was a layer of dust outside, and a faint sour milk smell inside. I believe the sour milk smell is coming from the rock-hard sourdough starter that had been left covered on its shelf. We won’t be making any more bread from that one!
And now we have the month of February to explore the Sea of Cortez, get the boat possibly listed to sell, and host anyone that might want to come visit 😊
This is a picture of our family with Brian's sister and her husband, Deje. Please pray that the Esophageal cancer he is fighting will continue to shrink!
