Howdy

"Row a 25-ton ship across the Davis Strait," you say ? Why of course, now that would be absurd. Well, when patience runs thin here on Snorri, stranger things do occur. I tell you what though, even despite the fact there's not a breath of wind, it sure doesn't get any better than this.

This evening during sunset, the sun and moon engaged in an impressive face-off which presented a full dome of eye-candy rich in color. A sight like no other. Now as I write, the stars twinkle as they shine down upon our ship and the horizon still glows like a bed of coals...slowly fading in the last hours of a camp fire.

Ahhh.... to be on the open ocean. I believe there's nothing better for the soul. A true feeling of pure freedom. As we sit here adrift, trading tales, I realize that despite my continuous thoughts of different places, there is no other place I'd rather be.
