My youngest brother Andrew left for Ft. Lauderdale to sail around the world and follow his dreams after college graduation in early August. I blogged about it here. Since then, a lot has happened. He flew to Boston to meet a crew on a boat that is headed towards St. Croix. Today we heard from him - this is the latest:
"Hello all,
I only have about ten minutes to write right now before I have to catch a train. They let me know last minute that I have the afternoon off and I am headed into NYC to spend the afternoon. Being my family, you know that I have the tendency to romanticize things in my life and am sometimes disappointed. It seems that I have found a place and duty that was as I imagined it at the start. Last night, coming down Long Island we were taking waves over the bow of the ship. I was standing bow watch and was getting hammered. In the full moon and with salt water stinging in my eyes, I knew that I loved this. Before this we had whales diving under us and a submarine tailing us. This is such an outside the box job. I work hard and love what I do. I am taking my guitar to NYC to try and make some money. Wish me luck. Train is coming. Will right more later. Pictures are of what I look like now, us in dry dock and sailing through Cape Cod canal.
