March in Annapolis

Elaine & Rich Kahn

Annapolis Maryland US

Hello Gabi & Lutz! It is starting to warm up here, but still a bit chilly, the Tulips, Daffodils and Hyacinths are about 4-6" high and will be in bloom soon. We have had a very windy winter but not much snow. I love following your journey. With your pictures and stories, I feel that I am experiencing it with you. I plan to watch you go through the Miraflores Locks tomorrow. Very exciting! I hope that you have a nice birthday, Gabi! I will try to send you a greeting on the appropriate day. We love you both. Wishing you a safe passage through the canal. Elaine & Rich

Hi Gabi & Lutz! We got about 4" of wet snow on top of a 2" frozen water base. You are glad not to be here in Annapolis. However, I miss having you both here. Rich is in Ft. Lauderdale working at a boat show, and called me this morning to let me know about the sun and warmth that he is experiencing. We fly to St. John a week form today and I am really looking forward to the warm weather and a visit with good friends. Be safe on your journey to Panama. Love & miss you both! Elaine (& Richard)

Hi Gaby and Lutz, we finally found some time as well to drop you guys a few lines and to say thanks a lot for the great BBQ you organized prior to your departure in Miami. We had a lot of fun and it was great to hang out with you. We will definitely follow your journey around the world and wish both of you all the best. Hope to see you one of these days (or years) again. Take care & let's stay in touch. Kari, Sophee and Mario

Liebe Gabi, es war toll, dass wir uns nach einigen Jahren am 22.12.2010 in Deinem Elternhaus in Chemnitz wieder mal persoenlich treffen konnten. Es gab so viel interessante Sachen zu erzaehlen, leider war die Zeit viel zu kurz. Schoen, dass Du wieder wohlbehalten in Florida angekommen bist. Dir und Lutz wuenschen wir ein weiteres tolles Jahr auf See und natuerlich auch interessante Landgaenge und weitere internationale Freundschaften. Dein Cousin Michael und Familie

We have had our 1st hard frost this morning. You have left in time. We still miss having coffee with you each morning and our evening chats over wine, beer and snacks. I really have enjoyed visiting you website and pictures of the legs of your journey since August 2009. Be safe and know that we are thinking of you as you are living your dream. Thanks! You have paid us a great tribute.We wish you fair winds and lots of sun. Hopefully you are in shorts and T-shirts by the time you are reading this..... we love you and miss having you with us. Be safe!

Viel Erfolg bei den letzten Arbeiten!

Hallo ihr beiden, ganz liebe Grüße aus dem schon winterlichen Schweden. Ja eure jetzige Situation können wir gut nachempfinden. Es ist wirklich toll dass es scheinbar überall auf der Welt Menschen gibt die in schwierigen Situationen helfen und ein warmes Quartier zur Verfügung stellen. Wir sind ihnen hier in Skandinavien genau so begegnet wie ihr jetzt am anderen Ende der Welt. Aber auch an unserem Haus ist sooo viel zu tun und wir kommen gerade von einem Außeneinsatz rein. Es regnet bei um die Null Grad und es ist sehr ungemütlich. Jetzt haben wir allerdings einen herrlichen Kamin und unser breites Bett immer in Reichweite. Nächste Woche gibt es Schnee und die Temperaturen fallen weit unter Null Grad. Sind schon gespannt auf die ersten Bilder Suan mit "Vorzelt". Ganz liebe Grüße aus der Björkhyddan

Thanksgiving

Judy Coyle

Orangeburg, S.C.

Hi, Am wondering if we'll get to see you this November? Send me a message via email and let me know. Both sons are in Atlanta now and suggest I join them there for Thanksgiving. My concern is that perhaps I'd miss getting to see the two of you again. Judy

Dear friends, Great to read you are starting a new chapter in the book "SuAn and the Art of Motor Maintenance". And the investment in Halon fire extinguisher might be a good idea as well. Last week I passed my RYA coastal skipper exam in Palma de Mallorca. Having grey November weekend in Speyer, but expect the Geiger family to see us later. Take care, Joerg
