Julia has had a harrowing week. They were asked to rescue a guy from a fishing boat who was having cardiac issues (later confirmed, a stroke) and bring him all the way to McMurdo Station. The waves were too high when they approached the fishing boat, so they had to take the zodiac (small boat on their ship) to reach them. After some time, they decided to leave the guy on the fishing boat with a bunch of meds from Julia's ship doctor, and they headed to the nearest port on their own. Hopefully, the guy will be OK.
Some less serious but unfortunate news: someone opened a window, and water streamed into Julia's backpack and ruined her iPad. :(
Mom spent the week in Rochester with Aunt Linda, Uncle Time, and friends. Highlights included seeing Pete and Cara, Aunt Ruthie, Patty, and Kristen--and watching Kristen's son, Josh, win a volleyball tournament at Roberts Wesleyan.
For fun, here's a picture of Booberry checking out her abs. :)
