"Hey Ruben - Great recovery, I can’t wait to sit down and hear all of your adventures over a cold one when you get back...next round of golf is on me, maybe even some place nice to boot. Man, you got HUGE huevos my friend... Some day maybe mine will swell up like yours and I will try the trans pac...or just take a cruise ship to Alaska :-) I have a milestone to report to you, last weekend I took Mist out of the Golden Gate for the first time! One small step for Jay-kind.... Good luck to you my friend!!!" Jay L.
"Ruben, I've been following you the whole way and I will continue to watch, read and do my wind dance for you. I just know a great story is unfolding and you are coming through it way on top. You are right up there on my heros list. "I think I can, I think I can" ... sail on little Sparky" Sanchez

"What a plucky pair! It has been wonderful, and a bit frightening, for this landlubber to follow your adventures. What an inspiration of ingenuity and spirit. Now that Barbara and Islander have checked in, all eyes are on you. Here's to a fair wind and following sea! Come on home." John D.
