Malaysian Friend Sails on Cahaya!

Hi kids,

Well, after a few days on land to go to my sons wedding we are back on
our boat. It was great seeing my son marry his beautiful bride but
it's great to be back to the ocean, too.

When we got our boat we couldn't think of a good name. So we asked all
our friends from around the world for ideas. The lady in this picture
is the one who thought of 'Cahaya'. She is from Malaysia. That is a
country on the other side of the world. In the Malaysian language
'Cahaya' means 'bright shining light'. This lady's name is Anthea and
she is always nice and always smiling. So she is a 'bright shining
light' too. So we named the boat Cahaya because it reminds us of her.

She lives in America now so we took her sailing today. In Malaysia
it's always hot. So she's not used to our weather. She got really
cold. Come to think of it, so did I!

Well, kids, be nice to the teacher and maybe shell tell you more about
Malaysia.
