Shemesh means Sunshine in Hebrew, and when Frank and Carole arrived finally in Israel some 5 years and 3 months after they left Chatham in 2004, that's exactly what they found… loads and loads of it.
Having started out the Odyssey in July 2004, Frank and Carole sailed over 7,000 miles and stopped in tens and tens and tens of interesting ports through out the Med.
Happily, and by good fortune and timing, Rear Commodore Sandy and husband Avi were in Israel when the call came through that Shemesh had finally made landfall. They got over to see them at the earliest opportunity and with great hugs and back slapping we were able to take the valedictory photos you see here.
Many, many congratulations Frank and Carole; you have realized your dream.
Now lets have some lines for Wavelength and the web about your adventures along the way.
