Monday
1900 –Well I can certainly see how the days turn into weeks, turn into months, then into years, all of a sudden a lifetime!!! 4 days here with the furthest trek coming yesterday as we hoofed and huffed towards the calling from HP (Higher Power) into the halls of the Jericho Baptist church. Preceding to attended the BEST, the MOST uplifting SERMON I have ever had the pleasure of hearing in a house of God, (with not even one glance at my Timex for the entire 2.5 hour service that ensued, HOLY COW!!!! ) Team Audax was truly blessed as the message delivered in such an incredible, enthusiastic way was a verbatim reinforcement of everything we have been reading, discussing and attempting to grapple with thus far in our spiritual journeys!! Being in the moment, reducing anxiety and finding true happiness and comfort. The pastors ability to connect, to teach, to convey…Why worry about the future or the past when we all have more than enough to worry about today.

Today on Audax: We started with the routine weather ceremony that segwayed nicely into Jordi’s kind commitment to help Bill and Dorothy (Rum Runner compadres) change their underwater zincs. A hearty egg and pancake breakfast followed (luckily John happened to be in the right place at the right time ). With bellies full we moved full force onto RUST and TEAK PRESERVATION slave labor rituals (Steve already 2 hours deep ) aboard our home. 3 lost cotter pins and one lost lifeline later she sparkled!!

A 2nd attempt at tennis (perhaps the chain lock on the court should have been sign enough the first go around), a hair cut for Stevey, route research by Jordi, a late afternoon run by myself to the Environmental Center, (if one can’t find the specimens in the real world this photo should suffice!!!), some grilled hot dogs and spectacular mashed potatoes, internet time, bunk rotation….break!

Thanks for reading as alway, a proper photo of the M/V Rum Runner and the beginnings of the photo album of Provo.
