hour watches, seeing each other mostly at meal time.


I hope you are getting a quickey at the Chart table.


Heh. Ever since the chart table went mostly electronic, that has
become a whole different experience.

holiday. Two hours in the plane and they're here.

That marks a fundamental difference between us, one of many.

I have *never* regarded any time spent on a boat as wasted.

Yes, and we pulled into Fernandina Beach, FL at 5:00AM this morning,
23 hours later. Slow and steady wins the race, and we've still got
half our fuel from Portsmouth, VA.
