At 1:31 a.m. this morning, after 18 full
days at sea and approximately 2,900 (nautical!) miles we finally crossed the

were overwhelmed with emotions when the Thula, our home for the last weeks,
finally pushed its bow over the line and we heard the signal. We had a
fantastic and truly memorable journey!
Now, if you would excuse me, I have to
