[status] Day 60...We made it! As I write this it is almost 5;00AM local time and the boat is not moving. It is anchored in the river awaiting quarantine and customs on Tuesday. As "luck" would have it, we couldn't send or receive emails in the last 24 hours. Hence I couldn't update our YIT. Lucky it happened then and not at the beginning.
So this is it, last post. We made it safely to Australia!
A huge thank you to all of you for your support, emails, words of encouragement, positive thoughts. We got them all and it was/is heart warming. Thank you to Mike and his team at YIT for allowing us to post our daily journey. And a huge thanks to Peter Mott, from Pacific Maritime Radio, our guardian angel out there, our only other voice, for tracking and following us through this epic journey and providing support.
And to the skipper, my heartfelt thanks and appreciation! What a great job he did, securing the mast, repairing bits and pieces and navigating Tehani-Li safely into port, back home!!

This is the report I wrote on Day 58...One thing I'll miss form this trip is our morning routine of sitting at the chart table, with our coffee and downloading the emails. This morning there was a record of 18. I know for some of you it's nothing, but for us here isolated in the middle of the ocean, it's great! New from our friends and family. And now the million dollar question; Will we have to quarantine in a hotel despite having spent 60 days in isolation on our yacht with no symptoms? We will keep you posted...

Day 59... It's official our last sleep. And lucky for us, the full moon (just started to wane) is just gorgeous. Watching it rise from the ocean is just spectacular and is one of the beauties of life at sea. Another thing I'll miss!
