The Windy

Another picture of the Windy, the boat that I lived on this summer. From this angle you can see the port side bow, and if you had X-ray vision that could penetrate the steel hull you would be able to see my bunk down in the fo'c'sle. Now before you tell me that "fo'c'sle" can't possibly be a word, let me say that first of all it is an abbreviation of the word forecastle, and second of all, Wikipedia agrees with me, therefore I am right.

In other news, I am flying home today. And because I want to avoid unnecessary baggage fees, I am only bringing one carry-on with me. If it doesn't fit into my backpack, then it's not coming along. I think this will be an interesting trial to see if I can really travel without lots of unnecessary things.

Harbor ripple

Navy Pier harbor at sunset. One of the perks of working on a boat is that you get to see the water in all conditions. Sometimes it will toss you around like a rag doll and sometimes it will be docile and calm. And sometimes the light will be just right and you can take the perfect picture.
