Wake Up Call – At Sea – [05/03/2013]
Every season I forget what the transition is like. I think I block it out to be honest. You see, if I start on a regular season, like Alaska, that’s no problem – I come on board prepared to be … Continue reading
End of the Line – Fort Lauderdale – [05/01/2013]
It’s the end of the World as we know it… The strangest day of any Grand contract isn’t the final sea day, it’s the debark day. Love them or hate them you’ve known these guests for four months out of … Continue reading
Against the World – At Sea – [04/28/2013]

On The Home Stretch – Jamestown, St Helena, Ascension Islands – [04/15/2013]
The race is long, and in the end it is better to race within oneself and finish behind the others than to race too hard and crash ~ The Art of Racing in the Rain This last month it’s been … Continue reading
Dream Demons – Colombo, Sri Lanka – [03/24/2013]
But I am always dreaming…even when I am awake […] Drown out my dreams! Keep me from remembering whatever wants me to remember it! – The Last Unicorn Dreams are such strange things. So many have tried to interpret them … Continue reading
Dreams of Domesticity – Manila, Philippines – [03/09/2013]
Send back the world there’s too much view for me the sky is much too high to shelter me when darkness falls It’s odd the way life works. When you’re at home, convinced that you’ll never go anywhere, stuck working … Continue reading
