Greetings!
This is Cathy and Bill's G.W., or Ghost Writer! I am also known as their B.B., or Blog Boy. I will be communicating with the two captains as they voyage across the largest body of water on our planet. The method of communication from Cathy and Bill to me is via SSB.
From the Pacific Ocean to my email account to their blog and to you... we will all follow their journey with excitement and support! I will now step into the background (like an effective GW) and let the story unfold...
