Tomorrow we go through NYC & the dreaded "Hells Gate". Should be a good story to tell!
It occured to me that I havent ever written about the name of our boat! We were going to name the boat Trabajabamos ( trah-bah- haba-mos) which means "we worked" or "we used to work" in spanish. Plus, it's a fun word to say. Well, now that we're on the boat & using radios to call bridges, other boats, etc., Trabajabamos may be too much of a mouthful. Also, unless you speak spanish---the pronunciation will be wrong. the previous owners of our boat named her "Malaika" ( Muh-like-a) which is swahili (sp?) for angel. It's growing on us & now I think we may just keep it. We'll see. Tomorrow, it will by our angel "Malaika" driving us out of Hells Gate! :)
Love, Michelle, Scott & Jesse

Sounds like it's been busy for you, I understand about the name of the boat. Glad to hear Jesse had fun chasing horseshoe crabs. It's hard to believe he learned to hold his breath, next you will have to get him a scuba tank and gear. You learned one very important lesson, carry spare belts I did when I trucked. You should carry extra hose clamps and anything else that may break on the motor. One more thing Diesel fuel will grow algae so you should have two spare filters. It is always something. Love Dad
Wow, what an adventure you guys are on! It sounds like something most of us only read about in a great story! How cool for both of you! I pray your "angel" continues to keep you safe! :)
