Kevin's Housewarming

Well, the weather didn't coperate for us to sail to Oahu last week as planned, but it looks good for us to sail over tomorrow.  Since we couldn't sail over, we decided to fly over to come for Kevin's housewarming party this past weekend.  When we arrived friday morning, we were completely surprised to find that Tim & Kevin's sister Valerie had flown in from Maryland!  What a great treat to have a mini-family reunion as well!  The housewarming party was fun; Kevin's good friend Jim Hubbard played live music - we love his cd's listen to him all the time on the boat.  Needless to say, we extended our plane flights a few days to spend more time with Valerie - she's here until Wednesday, but we will fly back to Kona today to get ready to sail back over here tomorrow... weather looks ok for the trip.  Then we will make final preparations and hope for our *weather window*.
