We Return to Jupiter's Smile August 20

We have returned without incident (well almost) to Jupiter's Smile and find her in good shape - i.e. no odd odors, mold, infestations, bumps, tears or scratches. We are not too much the worse for wear ourselves. The only incident is that we lost a strap from around one of our checked bags. This strap had been used successfully to afix a six gallon water container to our arch on the stern deck over the last several thousand miles of wind and waves. Why the strap held fast at sea but not now seemed strange. We found a note in the bag that the bag had been inspected by TSA so someone had unlatched the strap to do that. Whatever its fate was after that, I do not know. Continental Airlines accepts no responsibility for its loss. A minor thing, but an annoyance to an otherwise excellent journey. We now need to put our living space back in order, renew our boating permit and find a location to send this e-mail.

To those of you we got to see/visit we enjoyed it greatly and are pleased that you are all doing well. To those of you we missed we hope to see you next time.

Until then, be well!
