Well our boards have arrived!! It's such a great feeling knowing that our boards have completed their long ocean journey and are here, just miles from our house. I can just picture them now, sitting in their boxes in a warehouse.

I know they are just aching to see us. They set sail from California way back on October 29^th. I'm sure they have been in shock for these last weeks, wondering what happened to us. They were accustomed to being taken out for a paddle just about every day, then one day it all changed. They were packed up and taken away. No explanation. They may even think that they did something wrong. Poor babies.

We are aching to reunite with them too. I see the beautiful waters each day and imagine us out there paddling. It was easier to handle the wait when we knew our boards were still en route. Now that I know they are here in Palau, I'm a bit antsy.

We are waiting for them to clear customs. We thought Customs might give us a call on Friday if they had any questions, but they didn't call. See we didn't just send two boards. We sent 12 total.

Some for us, some in case of damage or breakage, and some for others to use. Other stand up paddlers will be coming and Continental won't let you check a board on the flight. So we've got boards and paddles of different sizes for our friends to use. Friends from abroad and friends we make while here in Palau. We've already promised a few folks here we'll be taking them paddling soon - maybe in the next few days.

Ours maybe some of the only stand up paddle boards in Palau, but get ready. As more and more stand up paddlers hear about the great conditions here in Palau, they will be on their way too.

Hopefully we'll be posting our first paddle boarding tales from Palau by next week. In the meantime, we'll be deciding which utterly fabulous spot to paddle first. Stay tuned!
