Jings, has it really been over 6 weeks since I did a journal entry ❓ Well, this isn’t really an update as I’ll have to do that later, but rather just a line or two to show that I haven’t forgotten about it entirely ❗ Where were we ❓ well my last entry was just before I left the boat… and now I’m back again, and have been for over a week! I had a really busy leave, but I’ll fill in some more details on that later, and now I’m back in the US again and it feels like I’ve never been away. It seems that it doesn’t matter how long a leave you get, whenever you arrive back on-board again all you can think about is how long the trip is stretching ahead of you before you can get home again 😆
