Comments

The sea, training, rosters and food. Rinse and repeat. The dull boom and bounce as we smack a large wave bow on, followed by the sound of sea spray on window. The Aurora throbs and creaks beneath and around us. On we go, surrounded by the gravity of the Southern Ocean, moving but seemingly staying in the same place. We'll get there eventually.
Regards, Doug & Misty
