Un-be-liev-able! We are actually on our way!
It’s raining, but who cares? We have wind and are sailing along! I was standing up on deck letting the wind splosh my face and I was looking up at the sails and I thought it was the prettiest sight I’d ever seen. You feel so free!
Caught my dad practicing juggling with oranges today! When he saw me watching, he dropped the oranges, and said, “It’s stupid, juggling.”
I’ve been sitting here thinking about the night before we left Grand Manan, when my father and I called Mom to say good-bye (again). She sounded awfully cheery. Maybe she’s getting used to being on her own, without anyone hassling her.
Dad’s end of the conversation was weird, not his usual barking self. He kept saying “I know,” and “I will,” and “It’s okay,” and little two-word sentences like that. At the end, he got kind of choked up (this is my father??) and told her he loved her.
Man!
When he hung up the phone, he said, “Want a pizza?”
