a moment on dry land

Just a quick note.

I've started working on a liveaboard yacht in Palau. It's amazing. We're out at sea for six out of seven days, and I've got about two hours off a week, but it's utterly and completely worth it. Sharks, turtles, whale sharks, mantas, crazy Superman currents (because you fly like Superman), and schools of fish so dense they blot out the sun. Ironically, I have an underwater camera now, but not enough free time to upload photos.

The ocean is so so so blue. Every beautiful shade of blue. Uninhabited rock islands coated with gorgeous lush jungle. Cruising on speed boats with the wind in your hair, a rainbow on the horizon (all the time here!), the blue ocean dotted with tiny islands as far as the eye can see, and the bright clean sun in the sky. Even when it rains, it's still amazing with the infinite drops splashing in the sea.

Come have a holiday with me. I'll be running the 150' yacht in about two months. Seriously, I'm training now to be Big Cheese.

My couple hours on dry land are nearly up, so I'm back to the ship.

Miss you terribly.
