'Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T.S Eliot
Hi
The pictures of Traci and Anna freaking out are when we were feeding ostrich- big scary birds!! It was hilarious! no one was pecked but they did get a hold of Laynes fingers - ouch!
The weather was a bit "unsettled " on the way from the Atlantic Ocean into the Indian Ocean, we went through a thunder and lightning storm one night that brought 9 ft seas and some incredible lightning strikes directly into the ocean which is something to see. The ship handled the waves well because we were heading into the sea (waves) but on occasion it was loud and reverberated through the hull. It spooked the kids a bit but sleep over came them.
Anna and her friend did a babysitting job for a a set of twin 2 yr old w/ a college student as "Backup" they were very pleased w/ themselves :)
Traci and I were invited to a Captains dinner this week. We sat at a table next to the chief engineer which was cool. He has invited me sometime to see the engine room which will be fascinating.
We arrive in Port Louis tomorrow AM . It will be nice to have a beach day then a fishing day for me. The weather is looking primo !!
We will be off to India right after - back to the rockin' diarrhea X10 nurse Trixi will have her hands full so to speak....
signing off for now Capt. Ron
Hope to have a fishing story for you soon :)
Latitude 22' 16.6S
Longitude 054' 7.3E
sea depth 14,764 feet
distance to the nearest land 60 NM - none other than Madagascar

keepin' it real on the deep blue...

9foot wavea,thunder, lightning strikes!!!Oh My!!! Nantucket Sound seems like a bathtub compared to that. I hope your fishing expedition is a little calmer. Anna may grow into chief babysitter for the Doherty clan.Trisha beginning Chemo again today and then coming to the Cape for a few days.Her spirits still good, bless her. Elizabeth and Mark sold their house and bought a victorian just up the street from them. Very excited!
