It's been one hell of a long week.
But I'm back home aboard the New Dawn, after having taken leave of her a full week ago, hardly daring to hope I'd ever stand on this deck again.
As I write this, I'm taking a short break from the almost unthinkable list of work that needs be completed to make this boat a home once more. I'll be cleaning for a solid week, in between fielding job interviews and scouring the 'net for work prospects.
Tonight though, I'm pretty tanked. I'll get a bit more cleaning done, then crawl into that masterberth, aft. And I will sleep peacefully, soundly and deeply.
Tomorrow is a New Dawn.
Jim,
That's the best thing I've read all week.
Glad to hear everything's okay.

Jim,
As one of many well-wishers, I'll add my voice to the chorus.
I'm happy to hear that you and the furfaces are safe and sound and that the New Dawn fared so well. Thanks to all for keeping us up-to-date.

A round of noserubs and a lift of a glass of Maker's to you and the furry crew of the New Dawn. A sigh of relief and another flurry of prayers that you will find the right job soon as. Welcome Home, Cap'n.

Jim,
Glad to hear you're home and that home is there for you. Clear a space for the kitties before you hit the masterberth; sleep well; sweet dreams.
