2020 02-21, 4501 - SLOW BOAT TO MIAMI – The trip didn’t go as planned. The captain announced Wednesday afternoon that we needed to return to Miami, missing our last port of call due to a fuel mix up. We sailed at 9 knots for 2 days. Sometimes the Cosmos has a greater reason for a change of plans.

A Stairway in Waiting
|
2020 02-16, 4496 – A STAIRWAY IN WAITING – Quite a few years ago I brought home a set of stairs that were used on a portable classroom, thinking they would be useful in the future. They wait patiently on the edge of the orchard. We have many useful abilities that are not ready to be discarded yet.
