The Smyths and their Shining Star

A young family with 2 small boys left Cape Town 17 days ago on their yacht, the Shining Star, on their way to the Greek Islands where they plan to do missionary work.  They arrived at St Helena last night, and came ashore this morning.  They are Dale and Natalie Smyth and their 3 yr old Jack, and 18 mnth old Jamie.

We were prepared to have them stay with us for the week that they will be on island, but they felt that the boys would settle better at night if they slept in their own beds.  So the plan was to spend the day on the island, and then go back to sleep on the yacht at night.  They did bath the boys, though, and Natalie enjoyed washing her hair.
