?All’s well on the good ship Anne. Soanya’s spirit is still on board, in our bed or perched on the gimbaled pilot house bunk watching out the windows. Things she had to leave behind are everywhere. Even before she left through out the voyage the spirits of great sailors like Sir Peter Blake were looking over my shoulders saying things like,” Humph, Reid, you can do better. You have to be stronger than that to sail a boat like this by yourself”. Captain Cook dissed me. Sir Chichester said,”Reid, lets have a sip of gin. Maybe things will go better.” I needed more support and who should come out of deep retirement wondering where his sword and arrows were, but Ulysses.He was feeling a little testy and said,” Reid, I am here, have no fear. This is The New Voyage of Ulysses.” Then I put on The Best of The Doors, Break On Through To The Otherside and turned it up real loud. Then I got to work P.S.Thanks A lot everybody for writing. Please keep it up. Sorry I can’t reply much because I’m so busy surviving, but I look forward to your good thoughts. Love, Reid
