jim called just as i was walking out the door to report he's about 90 miles out and expects to arrive around dawn. when i got to the tree and listened to his check in he was 70 miles out and we calculate he'll arrive around 6am. that means i'll get a call from synthia about 4:30 to let me know she's made radio contact with him when he's about 25 miles out and i'll drive down to the pier and take the dinghy over with her to greet him. he says after a shower he wants a big breakfast. i'm sure a long nap will follow. more and more people are showing up as the slower boats are getting closer and their friends and families are arriving. met a couple more racers that arrived today. it's all very exciting. like waiting to give birth, you don't know exactly when it's going to happen so you're just waiting and then boom it happens and that's it.
it'll be great to have him home, i sure hope he can deal with the condo heat. it's pretty awful and makes me cranky. time for early bed as i'll be up early. pictures to follow of course.
