Today's Daily Double is... crossing the Pacific the easy way!

somewhere over the pacific right now. eleven hours in this seat, Al asleep on my shoulder, and i keep pulling up the little seatback map and doing math i can't stop doing. down there that same blue is three weeks of sailing? maybe a month? provisioning and watch schedules and reefing in the dark at 2am. up here it's a nap, two movies, and a tray of pretty-okay chicken.

I am grateful (Tokyo tonight!) but part of me looks at all that blue and wants to do it the hard way someday, the slow way, where you get there whenever the ocean lets ya. kinda weird that being handed a crossing for free only makes that dream worse (better?)

Lady is at the kennel (probably forgot my face already). boat's tied up snug on Richardson Bay. wheels down in a few hours
