Would anyone like to observe the sunset and comet with no light pollution tonight? The horizon is clear and unobstructed in every direction, midway from Bermuda.

Would a ⛵️ be a suitable option for Facebook traveling to?

And, for dinner, we enjoyed fresh catch of the day (again) - mahi mahi, a fish so delicious it bears repeating, prepared with shrimp and mahi etouffee and yellow fin ahi tuna poke.

With Starlink Maritime, upgraded lithium batteries for generator free air conditioning, and tradewinds life is great!

In Loving Memory of My Dad, David DeLo: September 1, 1935 - August 28, 2024

After being diagnosed with bone cancer four months ago, my dad faced his illness with incredible strength. Chemotherapy took a toll on him, and he was hospitalized last month due to the side effects. Despite these challenges, he made a strong recovery and was on the path to regaining his health. However, he recently contracted sepsis, which ultimately led to a significant setback on the anniversary of my sister, Dana DeLo Johnson's, passing from sepsis last year.

In accordance with his wishes, my dad spent his final days at home, surrounded by his wife Jan, family, friends, and his beloved golden retrievers. Today, his oldest friend of 70 years, Tony Crowell, visited him. Even though my dad could only listen, they shared precious moments together. Tony, who earned the nickname “The Voice of God” about 50 years ago, shared stories that that started as first-year roommates at the Naval Academy.

After Tony recited the Lord’s Prayer, my dad took his last peaceful breath.

This fall, my dad’s ashes will embark on their final ocean voyage aboard Yacht Le Reve, from Rhode Island to the Virgin Islands, where he will find his final resting place. It was my dad who inspired my love of the sea and sailing, a passion and legacy that Sandra Anderson and I will carry with us always.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Jan Crouch, and our blended families have truly become one.
