I woke up very early in the morning.  We keep changing time zones so I'm not exactly sure how early it actually is.

It is so cool that we are connected to the internet.  I am able to ask the experts real time for help on the slug IDs.  Now I should be able to get them right the first time!  I have also linked to each post on iNaturalist so I can follow along to see if the ID changes over time.

Here is the itinerary for today:

I noticed that there is a poem on the bow so I looked it up.

These lines are from the concluding stanza of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous 1849 poem, 

"The Building of the Ship".

In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are all with thee,—are all with thee!

The book I am reading is set up with dates and they happen to be in October 2026.  Pretty much mimicking the exact dates of this charter.  Whoa.

I wore my nudibranch cover up dress and everyone wanted to know where I got it so I sent them to redbubble.com and apologized ahead of time… that site is a real rabbit hole.  It has mech for anything anyone is interested in.

… more to come…
