I guess our Galapagos experience was changed slightly by the fact that when we leave, we won’t see land for well over 20 days. We’ve spent a great deal of time finalizing details for the Marquesas, doing things with the engine, finishing up the provisioning and writing and compiling the pictures we need for a month’s worth of writing. I like seeing places in this context of real-world tasks. Somehow I feel like I learned something after buying a stalk of bananas from the local store.
Have a good month! I bet you ten dollars yours will go faster than mine.
In the immortal words of Styx,
I’m sailing away. Set an open course for the virgin sea,
Because I’ve got to be free,
Free to face the life that it’s ahead of me,
On board, I’m the Production Manager, so climb aboard,
We’ll search for tomorrow on every shore,
and I’ll try, oh Lord, I’ll try, to carry on.
I look to the sea,
Reflections in the waves spark my memories,
Some happy, some sad,
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had,
We lived happily forever, so the story goes,
but eventually we’ll have to return to the real world,
But we’ll try, best that we can, to carry on. (sweet guitarness)
A gathering of angels appeared above my head,
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said. They said:
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me, that’s
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Meeeeeee
I thought that they were angels,
Much to my surprise,
they climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies.
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Come sail away, Come sail away, Come sail away with Me
Signing off,

One more thing. It’s been emotional.
