Thinking of You

JoAnne and Michael Gray

Happy you made it safely across to the Kenai Penisila. The scenery is beautiful!! We are guessing you will probably spend a good week or so in the area before getting to Seward? Thinking of you and wishing you safe sailing and anchorages! Lots of love!!

Alaska

JoAnne and Michael

Guemes Island, Washington

Hi Gabi and Lutz, We are so happy you are finally in Alaska and enjoying the beauty of this area. We are thrilled you have been able to see so much of the sea life and wild life as you have so far...the sea lions, the whales, the fish, the bears (from afar) and the symbol of our Country, the American Eagle. Fabulous! It is wonderful that you have met Steve. He has thoroughly enjoyed your company! And Mary is as fun and as hospitably as Steve!! We look forward to talking with you when you are next in cell phone range. Lots of love xoxoxo

Bye Bye Aunty Erna - Yay!

JoAnne & Michael Gray

Hi Lutz & Gabi, we think of you constantly and we are so happy to hear that Aunty Erna has passed by and is bringing you winds from the south west so that you can be wing on wing - Yeah!! Maybe you need to celebrate Aunty Erna's passing with another grog :-). We sent you an update to your email also as how we can help you get the batteries to Dutch Harbor (or Kodiak if preferred). We will continue to research the best price and options for you. Much love!!
