8/9/12 7:05pm, somewhere in the Caribbean 281 days until we finish law school, those of us who started together as part-timers and haven't switched to full-time yet, anyway. We saw some of our classmates graduate in May, and we will see more graduate in December. Perhaps I should have pushed myself for December, but with …

Leaving Grand Bahama
8/9/12 4:47pm CDT, in the Caribbean So we just set sail from Grand Bahama, headed west toward Key West. We were supposed to stop in Key West earlier this week, but due to a Navy ship being in port at Key West, we had to change our itinerary. No harm, no foul, since we still …
Awkward!
8/9/12 around 8:30pm, Monet Dining Room Well tonight was one of the most awkward dinners I've been to in a very long time. Not only is it awkward to eat dinner with 8 people you have known for about 5 hours total, but it's also awkward when they get into a rather heated argument at …
Jorts
8/9/12 around 2pm, CDT, Freeport, Bahamas Jorts. If you have (a) lived in the South, (b) visited Disneyworld (Orlando, of course), (c) lived through the 70s or early 80s, or (d) been on a cruise, you have seen jorts. It is inevitable. If you don't know what jorts are, you will now be educated. Jorts …
Bahama Mama
8/8/12 around 3:30pm Well today we spent a glorious day in the Bahaman sunshine. We went to Paradise Island, to hang out at the beach near Atlantis, although you can't really go on thre Atlantis beach unless you pay like $200 or something ridiculous. I mean, seriously? Not even Disney costs that much for a …
To Write a Book
8/7/12 about noon Ever since I was a little kid, I've wanted to write a book. I did write two short books once, one on the end of friendship, "Friends No More," and one on the parrot family, zooilogically speaking. I names every member of the Psittasidae family (sp?, I'm on the ocean, no cell …
Sonic Boom
8/7/12 10:09am Somewhere in the Caribbean Sea The absolute coolest thing ever just happened. We had just returned from breakfast, and we had just walked out on our extended balcony. Our neighbors from Toronto were outside eating and such, and we were visiting with them when a fighter jet flew overhead. I felt like I …
Sunset on the Ocean, #48
8/6/12 7:10pm As of tonight, we have spent a number of 48 nights on the ocean, sailing. We have seen many other ocean-driven sunsets, of course, but none are ever as good as the ones you see on the ocean from a ship. There is just something about the sun setting on the ocean that …
Land’s End
8/6/12 10:35am Last night we did something I've wanted to do every time we've ported out of NOLA - we stayed up late enough, outside, to see where the river meets the ocean at land's end. It was cool. We set sail around 4:30 pm from port, and around midnight on the mark, we sailed …
