Last night we had a real treat. Todd and Christine Ogden and their two amazing daughters, Caroline and Lauren visited and took us sailors out for dinner. They got the full tour of Remedios, freshly straightened up and cleaned in anticipation of our guests (we were straightened up and cleaned, too). Todd is my son-in-law, Mitch's, older brother and the family resemblance is clear. That included the fact that Remedios doesn't have the head room necessary for either Todd or Mitch.
As you can see from the photo, Caroline and Christine were willing to take over at the wheel. However, to the relief of their parents, they declined the offer to head out across the Atlantic with us.
This is one active family! Todd arrived for the visit on his bike, having come directly from work. Christine will be doing a triathlon this weekend and both of the girls have dance camps and other activities set up for the whole summer. It made me tired just listening to it all.
It was a great taste of family for the crew who is missing theirs. Thanks for coming by, Ogdens!
The weather here is beginning to break, reducing the record breaking heat and if the predictions hold we will be starting our trip to the Azores tomorrow or Sunday. Rob is still a little amazed we don't have air conditioning and that a little over two weeks ago, we were all wearing all of the clothes we had to survive the cold on Lake Superior!
