This week we have travelled 694.35 miles.  We’re still leaning on our swimmers, but hopeful that we’ll reach landfall by Easter.  

We end our miles just north of a part of the mid-Atlantic mountain range that actually breaks the surface of the ocean. The Autonomous Region of the Azores includes nine major islands and a cluster of islets all formed from undersea volcanoes.  

Our scripture this week is Mark 11:1-11, the story of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, that we celebrate as Palm Sunday.

Christ be with us on our journey

as we swim and as we walk

Christ be with us as we wander

and when neighbors stop to talk

Bless our feet and hands and voices

that wherever we may roam

Christ is heard and seen and worshipped

Savior always guide us home!
