I'm praying that they arrive and return safely. They need Guardian Angels! Pray for them!

I'm sending the photos in batches in the next several emails, containing photos we took this weekend before Garrett & Thom departed for Pagan. Our camera had malfunctioned, so we bought a new one on Saturday. Thom took some photos with him (that are still in the new camera) that I also wanted to share, of the boat and crew just prior to departure, but when I turned on my laptop at the dock to download the photos, the laptop had some repairs to run because of an improper shutdown and would not allow me to override it. They had to go! They departed at 4:15pm on Tuesday, April 14. The seas are still calm, and the weather is nice. I'm praying that they arrive and return safely. They need Guardian Angels! Pray for them!

I absolutely broke down in tears as soon as their faces became unclear as they motored away. Brooke kept me calm. I didn't sleep too well last night.
Love,
Mindy
