Location: underway
One phrase has stuck with me since we began our foray into the magnificent Pacific this morning: we have truly begun the Meat and Potatoes of our journey. The sailing/motoring has been quite peaceful, and already the wildlife and fish that visit the boat are abundant. I must admit that this portion of the journey has seemed a little daunting, a bit like an abyss that will chew me up and never spit me out! An exaggeration, to be sure, but it seems like Life After the Pacific Ocean is something unimaginable right now in the face of the crossing. But for now, we all focus on being on time for watches, getting dinner out of the oven on time, keeping spirits high, and watching for dolphins. You know, the little things that get you through the big things. As my good friend Teddy says: Tallyho!
