. . . said barnacle bill the sailor

Aloha!
I am writing this from the Reading Room aboard the Norwegian Star, as we cruise between Hawaii and Fanning Island.
I am such a dork, I wanted to bring my garmin, so I could update position with much greater accuracy . . . but it was forgotten in the chaos that surrounded our leaving Los Angeles a few days ago.
So.
Since this is the first time I’ve had Internet since we left Los Angeles, there will be three entries following this one, each of them representing one day since I left.
Onward . . .
