Sparkle Creek – Ketchikan, Alaska – [09/13/2017]
Usually the end of the Alaska season is a mess of rain and rough weather; but so far this cruise it seems that Mother Nature has decided that the storm she pounded us with last week (which at one point … Continue reading
On Breakthroughs – Ketchikan, Alaska –[09/13/2017]
Progress report: You learn three chords, you can play any rock n’ roll song in the books My father said that…and much as I hate to admit it, he was probably right. I knew for the last two weeks that … Continue reading
Racing Racing Racing – At Sea – [08/29/2017]

Wisdom – Juneau, Alaska – [07-21-2017]

Backstage Jitters – Recife, Brazil – [01/29/2016]
Since I was just only “yay-high to a ballet barre” I’ve gotten stage fright. Horrific, crippling stage fright. I know I’m talented, though it took me a long time to realize that I do know it. But…getting up there? Getting … Continue reading
Still Pulling Teeth – Devil’s Island – [01/24/2016]

Merciless – At Sea, Cape Horn – [11/30/2015]
When the announcement bell rings at 9:15 in the evening, it’s rarely heralding good news. In this case, it was news that wasn’t precisely unexpected as the ship had been corkscrewing like well…a cork…for the last hour and a half. … Continue reading

Parchment Farewells – At Sea – [11/27/2015]
