Celebrating with lunch onshore the day we arrived, the crews of Following Tides and Zia were all smiles.  With only seven hours separating our arrival times and no major damages to either boat, we were all beaming with pride at our accomplishments.  The crossing was amazing.  It seemed pretty normal while we were out there going through the mechanics of it, but at four am, on night watch, with nothing but the noise of the water rushing past the hulls and the stars to keep you company, the enormity of it all was pretty powerful.
 
The day only got better as we arrived back to Zia just in time to see our friends John, Po, Jamie and Skylar arriving on their new boat, Sky.  They had been with us in the Caribbean three years ago and we were thrilled to be here with them again.
   
In true Po fashion, the Zia crew was invited for dinner and drinks onboard that night.  We hung out on the beach the next day before tackling all the chores that had built up during our 12 and a half day passage. 
   
I've been neglecting my updates but did manage to finish the Cape Verde one.  I hope you enjoy it.  I'll get the passage update finished in the next couple of days and let you know when I post it.  I just want to thank you all again for your support in following us on our adventures.  It is wonderful to share them with you.
 
Many thanks to our friend Craig Homenko for his assistance in setting up the website.
We also would like to thank our buddy Scott Brunner who has been kind enough to host the website on his server.
