Prayers needed!  Latest update from Mary...June 1, 2021, 8:34 a.m.

At this moment I  am tucked into a corner of the cockpit with Penny as Eric fights our way through big 6-10 foot rollers coming full on our sides. We  are making our way through the barrier islands and reefs of Belize. The seas will be better for us once we make the downturn  to Guatemala. Until then, its really rough. The  most difficult we've had yet. Eric and I,  especially  Eric, are zombie exhausted from hand steering  in such conditions. And in these extra hard conditions  Eric is the only one who can steer. Once we go through the channels between the reefs, we cann get a respite but then are out into it again.

Note:  they lost auto pilot several days ago and can't fix it until they are docked. So that means someone has to be at the wheel the whole time. It would also have helped them fight through these rough waters. Pray for strength for Eric. I remember him going through a hurricane many years ago and he had to lash himself in with a rope and stay at the wheel for hours on end.   Prayers, please!!
