Untitled

Untitled seems like the only reasonable start to the skipper's reveries on this voyage.
I don't know where we are  though I know the lat/long puts us at Leverick Bay on Virgin Gorda.
On a hill, overlooking the stereotypical beautiful multi-colored waters of the Caribbean.
Yesterday I was walking down a dock to get block ice, a rare commodity in these parts, vaguely remembering I unsuccessfully tried the same thing at the same dock a couple of years ago, but insisting that I still give it a try once again...and then it suddenly dawned on me:  I have nothing to do.  The identity/anxiety attack did not begin as I still have lots of report writing to finish and send back to Boston.  
But this is a low-impact time down here, and it's actually fun to do some brain work while exploring existential entropy with sunscreen and demon rum.  Ah, for the life of a pirate.
More to follow sometime in the future if the creek don't rise and the good Lord is willing.
Fair winds,
Roger

  2. I've just read the whole batch and loved every bit of it, from the airport, to entertaining Roger's mom, to the rainy sail, to the dolphins as escorts. I'm interested in the identities lost and found. We're all learning from your journey so keep those accounts and insights coming. Love to you both, Sally
