Halfway Party a Huge Success

Okay, that's it. We are never inviting you to a party again. We had a great time without all of you. Ryan had his first glass of Aloha the entire trip and you missed it. We had a few uninvited guests, a brown footed boobie and the newly discovered Sea Bats. This is a very rare species that hangs upside down on the surface of the water (due to the properties of surface tension). Actually, it is a small bird that flies like a bat and is always near the boat at night. Anyway, we had an absolutely marvelous time. The fabulous entertainment was world class with dancers from Cirque de Soleil, Las Vegas. Music provided by IPOD (I think you should buy stock in it if you can...I got this from an insider yesterday). We are not sure how everyone got home last night. Since there were no extra people sleeping on board this morning we assumed that they made it okay. We have pictures that will be forwarded to People Magazine. Once the exclusive pictures are released, they will available online for a minimal fee (except for Dale. He pays double).

Speaking of crew, did you know that we have a collective 75 years of living on Guam (PULL). This has been a reunion for a lot of us. On Guam (PULL) we were all water people. We spear fished, dove, sailed, fished, and were generally in the water as much as possible. Tom's kids grew up on the water, living aboard the boat that he built, a 38 foot Airex core FRP cutter. My kids were also born and raised on Guam (PULL) and learned how to snorkel, scuba dive by 10 yrs. old, and sail whenever they had a chance. They all have great stories to tell and it is great hearing it from their perspective.

The weather gribs have been frustrating but we are pointing in the right direction.

Cheers, The Rowdy Riva Revelers
