One thing I didn't have to worry about for my voyage was which way to go. Checking the charts, I saw a HUGE storm was heading to south of us, likely become an F3 or F4 on the scale. I'll just leave that to the Coast Guard, thank you very much. It looked like east would be direction of choice this trip.

Hmm. Where to go. There is that new group of islands which just declared themselves independent. What the heck were they called? Can't remember. There they are! Just east of the international date line, and well east of that hurricane.

Nick has "Sailing Master" all tuned up and stocked, all except fresh veggies which we'll get the day of departure. He also purchased a significant increase in our armament supply, including.... wonder how in Hell he got THOSE? I guess the donations to that Congressperson paid off. They won't even sell those to the UK! Won't take up much room, considering their power,though.

Now, for our play island. Going to need a higher definition map to find one; I'll shelve that for tonight. Send an e-mail to Nick to get one.

Crew. I know Ruby wants to go, and she wants to bring Jaden. I think yellowrose wants to go, but I'm not sure of that one. Guess I'll just have to wait a few more days to get some volunteers. I sure would like at least three or four more women to bring along.

I'll print off a couple more of those posters, and hang them up on "Ladies' Room" doors. Hope I get some answers.

Kind of quiet in here tonight. I think I need someone to play with.
