Without the changing leaves and pumpkin pies on every counter, this Thanksgiving might have slipped by forgotten, yet I have much to be thankful for. We made a list on night watch:

  • clear skies and stars
  • wind
  • new friends
  • merino wool
  • decreasing miles to Fremantle
  • our great team
  • dry gloves
  • cake
  • ibuprofen
  • our supporters, friends, and family
  • It's always with mixed emotions for me that we near shore, and this leg is no different. I am thankful that we are healthy and safe, for the camaraderie of our team, and for the suspended reality of life at sea. I'm also thankful for this blog so I can wish my family a Happy Thanksgiving because I'm out of data! Happy Thanksgiving, Mom and Dad, Jane and Pat, and all my family and friends.

    All my love, Shannon
