Bill and I spent January 2025 in and around Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas. We are forever thankful for our time with John and Michele. They have been with us during some of our best and some of our worst sailing adventures. “Worst” referencing my seasickness episodes, fatigue during long crossings, and likely more hard stuff that my mind has blocked out! “Best” referring to the many hours of exploring God’s creation together with awe and admiration, their wise counsel, and taxiing us in their lightening-fast dinghy when they could easily have left us in the dust! We thank God for their friendship.
This is the day the Lord has made, let us be glad and rejoice in it. Psalm 118:24
Tony and Anne joined us this year for a week at Green Turtle Cay. They are such a sweet couple-like a breath of fresh air. Anne is a little more quiet in her joy and happiness; Tony is full out revelry, excitement and wonder! It is simply not possible to miss Tony’s delight in what God has made and put before us. And that makes me smile every time I see them.
For instance, this is what this beautiful beach looked like before Tony:
And this is what it looks like with Tony:
As Scripture records in Psalm 27:9, “A sweet friendship refreshes the soul”. Thanks, Anne and Tony for being our friends and joining us in our adventures.
