Comments
We have finally begun climbing up the continental shelf of Australia.
This is our second last day on the ocean and there are small but tell-tale signs that another long voyage is finally coming to an end. Overalls are looking brighter, the beard thief strikes in the night revealing yet another youthful face at breakfast and people are beginning to contemplate the awesome task of cleaning their bathrooms.
It is starting to happen. We are almost home.
