On which subject, how does anyone with a destination *NOT* have
"schedulitis" as defined in commentary on our travels? And isn't, as
it's defined, the very act of planning a voyage, a commission of the
sin? If not, how does one ever arrive anywhere, whether by accident
or because they just want to go there? I want to go to NY because
relatives live there. More will arrive. But if I'm not there on a
certain date, one will continue to be there as he has for the last 30+
years, and the other will enjoy his company. But somehow I'm taken to
task for looking forward to arriving...

I gotta go and do the pre-departures. I'll try to come back at some
of the myriad of prior commentary which begs response...


Skip, I think you're already well on the way to a cure by stating that you
will leave at a certain time "as long as the weather doesn't deteriorate."
Nothing wrong with having plans -- as long as plans don't overrule safety.
If the weather is good tomorrow, we'll sail and arrive at (blank) the next
day. If conditions are bad, we'll wait it out. If we have to wait a couple
of weeks, so be it.
