It was great to get off the boat for a few weeks. We had already planned to be back in California to for doctors appointments, and to see family and friends. The timing worked perfectly as we were able to see the completed new building for the Start Haus. This was a huge project and it was great to see it finished.

Best of all was seeing Makaela who had just completed her commercial pilots license. We celebrated with a big burger in Yuba City. I forgot how big the portions in the US are.  Makaela spent the next month at the Glider Port in Williams to training and prepare for her upcoming job at the Williams Glider Port where she will work after she finishes her next semester as school.

The weather couldn't have been more perfect, so it was hard to get excited about going back to the hot humid climate of Grenada.
