A Heartwarming Turn-of-Events

Today's 'Lectronic Latitude brings word of an unexpected outcome for the vessel Ka-Em-Te. She's the vessel owned by Cruisers Forum members Doug Merrell and Trish Kelsoe who post under the user name "going-home." Here's how today's story begins:

"Ka-Em-Te Makes it to Hawaii

"September 14, 2011 – Honolulu

"Regular readers will remember the story of Doug Merrell and Trish Kelsoe of the Buccaneer 30 Ka-Em-Te. At the end of June, the couple, along with Doug's sons as crew, were sailing the clipper route from Mexico, where they'd lived aboard and cruised for three years, back to Oregon so Doug could have better access to cancer treatment."

* * *

For the rest of the story, go to:

Ka-Em-Te Makes it to Hawaii
