I'm sure everyone one here really appreciates what you're doing here.<BR/><BR/>The time is near for Zac and Intrepid to hit the High Tide and depart on the next leg. Hopefully everything is in order and ready to Sail Away. I would love to hear from Laurence again to know how everything is going. I'm sure we'll hear from him when he has the time to actually write and inform us.<BR/><BR/>I hope all goes well for you Zac prior to departing.

Thanks, Jen --- your belief in this undertaking and the passion you have for your work certainly shine through. <BR/><BR/>Lawrence, thanks for the long awaited update. All of us Zac Packers have been patiently waiting (and checking the blog 5,6,7 times a day!). I know Marianne and your other children are happy to have you home, while at the same time it must have been another bittersweet goodbye in Darwin. <BR/><BR/>Zac, love the expression on your face when Toby is razzing you! I bet you have a LOOOONG MEMORY!<BR/><BR/>So glad this week turned out to be one of fun as well as work. You've certainly earned it. What great memories you'll take with you when you leave. <BR/><BR/>My students and I have been praying that the work on Intrepid would go smoothly. They were so excited to hear about the two guys who volunteered to help, as well as the many others who have made, and are continuing to make, this possible. <BR/><BR/>You will be much in our thoughts and prayers as you prepare for departure. <BR/>Romans 4:20b-21<BR/><BR/>We're cheering you on, Zac!<BR/><BR/>Donna <BR/>North Richland Hills, TX<BR/><BR/>P.S.
