Welcome Home We left Sea Star in the water on 2 mooring balls (fore & aft) at TTSA, Trinidad for 6 weeks while we flew back to Canada to enjoy the holidays with our family and friends. Our welcome home came with the wonderful news that our daughter Robin, and her husband Matt, are expecting their first child (our first grandchild) in June - very welcomed news. We welcomed our daughter Susan, and her boyfriend Chris, as they flew in for the holidays from their home in Victoria. We enjoyed their company so very much and are grateful they finally managed to negotiate the flight delays, due to weather, to make it through. It's not often southern B.C. is closed due to snow but unfortunately this year was the exception. While home we welcomed the opportunity to attend Christmas gatherings and visit with folks that we've missed spending time with while we've been away cruising. It was wonderful to "catch-up" with our dear friends. We are truly grateful for the time we had together with loved ones and felt blessed to have them near. We wish everyone a healthy, happy new year. This spring we plan to haul Sea Star and leave her "on the hard" as we return to Canada to welcome our first grandchild.
