Well its another week in the log. We went into a very dangerous current. Storms swirl and we took on the Giants. We lost our best runner but hstill have depth, a depth that will be tested as one of our Sailers is out with a broken stick.

In a storm that looked meek - we ended up in a life and depth battle with the Giants of the sea. Our Captain Bledsoe took the helm and rode the storm out. WE eeked a victory out. Now 4-2 on the season of change - still on course.

February 5th - Destination.

You sound like The Shermanator.

Stay tuned - we just found out today we lost on of our more experienced sailers to the sea's. Time for a kid to step up and take his place.

4-2 - So far all is on track. Looking at the skies - should be clear sailing for a few weeks - rest will do this team good as we approach the halfway mark of this journey.

Projected landfall - February of next year. Its going to take a yeomans coaching effort to keep the troops up and focused.

Good news is we screened the Chicken Littles - none on this ship.

We hit a coral reef - taking on water and the crew in each others face. Captain made some bad calls and the rank is pissed. Major looses in a spot where there should have been none. The M word is coming up. Can thE captain keep this on track? First crack in the armour.....

 

[Nors]

We are now halfway home. 5-3

Had a great day today and on pace to destination. This is a great season and enjoying the heck out of it so far!

Symbolically we sign Marco Columbo

Fitting add to the team with roots back to the first one that made this journey.

Symbolic indeed - this season is spot on destination to a cold place in February in a land that is artificially warm!!!!!

Nors ----> = Norstadamus?

Hope so - I just have had a real good vibe about this team from day 1.

Another long two weeks on the sea.

Lots of training and preparing. We are at halfway mark and its storm season coming. Spirits are high and although the team didn't play today - favorable currents are pushing them ahead of schedule.

One mate swore he saw an eagle today, wounded and flying ragged.

Falcon's had been chartered in these waters but never Eagles. The Captain muttered - thats a dead Eagle.

As ominous this journey seemed preseason. The ship and crew are in great shape.

February 5th? its going to be a challenge to get there. But on the map.

Another big win, a win that shed tears and an unlikely win. The Captain lost his brother and buried him yesterday. The crew was quite determined and intent on winning the battle for the captain they have grown to love.

They were in sea's that few had ever navigated or charted. A bad place that the ol Sailers of old dubbed "The Vet of Madness"

We had a chance to again keep ahead of schedule and it did not start off well. The enemy was ready, it was hostile water and for 57 consecutive minutes we were near death.

But Bledsoe took the offense and drove us to a quick TD. Culminating in a TD catch by the guy the mates affectionately called she.

It was then victory was in our grasp. But herto we usually fold in journeys of old. But a player rose high, made a play and wrested victory from the jaws of defeat. It was a defining moment in this journey on the big stage. Roy was the Man!

Destination - its still on the horizon and far off. But getting closer. There is excitement in the air as all sense that they are part of something big. The Captain cried today and shed a tear knowing he lost kin but also has a special team.

As stated in initial post - Wind is behind us and mother nature is still smiling down on us. Enjoy the journey and the destination will take care of itself.


On a side note - we pulled in a drowned bird, almost unheard of this far to sea. It was indeed an Eagle. Might add tastier than I thought......not bad with hot sauce.

Well - we are a week away from knowing if we have a chance. Its been a tough month with many setbacks. Some had started to lose faith we would make it to land.

Last Saturday we ran dead into a Nor'easter. Ship crew fought back valiently and survived a storm that should have ended the voyage.

Yet today the sun is shining and the crew is upbeat. The Captain even smiled today. At Dinner last night he proclaimed we should hit landfall within the week! A very joyous and motivating speech.

Ended with a challenge. That then gets us to the next challenge. A month long journey to the city proclaimed the city of steel by Norsman who had made this journey thru Ice and Snow decades ago - or as lore said.

As rocky as this ride has been, its still alive. Hope is in the air still!
Amazing 5 months into this journey, a cardiac trip with the final chapter yet written.
