News from Afar

I wish I had something exciting to report, but every time I go above deck it is just more of the same: swells rolling out to the horizon and a partly cloudy sky. The wind, however, is unfortunately not so consistent. It is light; 10-13 knots; North to North East to NNE... It would be most convenient if the wind would pick up 5 knots or so, and choose one direction to come from. If you could arrange that, I'd appreciate it.

Every day my sea legs get sturdier, but every once in a while I am still sent flying across the cabin by a swell I didn't anticipate (stupid). A few weeks ago I posted a question on Facebook asking people what they would do for entertainment if they were in my shoes, and I got lots of great answers ranging from art projects to drinking heavily to yoga. I have lots of things I could be doing, but even trying to sit up straight is a challenge. I have not even delved into the seasons of TV shows I got from a friend before we left shore. Is it laziness, inconvenience, or the exhaustion of doing nothing that makes me feel lazy and exhausted? Does that even make sense? We will see if I still have my sanity by the time we get to the south pacific. I am sure the tropics will help..

Seeing as how this post has absolutely no point and is senseless rambling that I will be embarrassed to have written when I finally have internet access again and can review my blog, I had better stop.
