There’s This Place…
I’ve never seen any place like this place. It seems to have everything, absent the drawbacks of having everything.
I’ve never seen any place like this place. It seems to have everything, absent the drawbacks of having everything.
But every northward mile since leaving Victoria three months ago has been increasingly… and here is where I don’t know what to say. “Mind-blowing” and “profound” and other superlatives come to mind, but they don’t capture my experience.
In this traveling life, I’m always a visitor, wherever I am. I’m transient, not of the place I was, the place I am, or the place I’m going.

The Robertson family heads out on a challenging hike—warnings in the cruising guide be dammned!
This was nearly the end to a day-long passage, most of which we spent either slack-jawed or smiling. Windy and I agreed it seemed just like we were motoring up the valley floor of California’s Yosemite National Park.
Well, I’m glad you’re here. I’m about to announce The Next Big Thing.
