No "doldrums" for you. May you experience and enjoy every moment, 'cos it will be over before you know it, and like with the Allegheny, you just might feel like doing another lap :-) Last time I was in Italy (I go every year), my hostess was relating from her knowledge of classic literature, that Jason (of argonauts fame) when asked about one of his seafaring journeys replied "Ho attraversato l'oceano con gli zoccoli" - meaning "I crossed the ocean with my clogs" - the significance of this being that he had done this, surmounting great odds and adverse conditions, with very little, just the basics and his indomitable spirit to bring him through. To me you come closest to personifying this ideal (you're wearing one giant clog!). I was very moved by reading of your story, which is being played out daily on the swells that roll under the expanse of God's heaven. May He be your guide and companion and may you continue to find further challenges that match your courage, faith and determination. Un abbraccione (big hug) Andrew Hi Katie!,
