Seen today on the scales in the ship’s fitness room:
“Travel is not about where you’ve been, but what you’ve gained.”
Haha. To be sure, I have gained an awful lot over the last 10 days, in every sense – experiences, friends, insights, and pounds (to clarify – not pounds sterling, alas, but pounds lard.)
I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the naturalists, staff, captain and crew of the National Geographic Explorer, and to all my wonderful fellow guests for all the fascinating conversations we have enjoyed over the last ten days. It has been formative. Now I just need a good debrief with my journal to figure out what it is that this trip has formed.
Tomorrow I fly back to Australia to continue with presentations and preparations. Back to work!
You now weigh -2 pounds, wow! Glad you had such a great experience. Exciting as well! Best of luck on your presentations, now you have more to add! JohnH
I thought you said you needed to fatten up for your next row anyway? Did you take any cues from the seals there? A pure diet of raw oily fish would do the trick. Isn’t that similar to the eskimo’s diet?
A fitting epitaph for Ronnie. Someday I hope to love, or be loved, as blindly as Reagan fetishists or the way Billy Mays felt about the Power of Orange. …
