"It's not down on any map; true places never are" -Herman Meliville
We were just sailed threw waters that are very close to the furthest point from land anywhere on the planet. We were a good 1200 NM from Hawaii or the west coast of Cal.
Ship life is winding down and we are actually packing up. It has been a true community and a special one. I know people on this voyage will go on to do some incredible things. This is a truly talented , caring group. The voyage has opened our minds and showed us to have faith in humanity. If we were ever in need or lost no matter which country or continent we always found someone more than willing to help us out and take the time to find out who we were and make us feel welcome.
I will be far more conscious of that from now on. As the Archbishop says"... racism is when one of Gods children is no longer treated like one of Gods children. .. everyone deserves the right to love and be loved. No matter of skin color, religion or anything else..."
Look forward to getting back but first we will enjoy a little So. California weather.
