You remind me of the love of my life when I meet him on a Florida beach when I was a senior in 1992. His name was Zach too! Full of life and loved the ocean, a captain and unfortunatly we lost him @ sea 5 years ago. I am a mother and would be as proud as I know yours is! Awesome job Zac! From way over here in NH, CONGRATULATIONS on your accomplishment!

Being underway is a unique experience, regardless of what type of vessel you sail; but no matter how long you sail, you will never "see it all." Enjoy the views and the experiences. If you were to take Intrepid on a second circumnavigation voyage the day after you return, I assure you it would be a totally different experience. Cherish each moment.Barry Wittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496489450166516267.post-47696400042793083942009-06-05T17:16:08.057-07:002009-06-05T17:16:08.057-07:00@Marilyn, yes Zac is on the issue dated June 8th. ...@Marilyn, yes Zac is on the issue dated June 8th.

The owner of the newsstand in Woodland Hills said the new ESPN magazine won't be in until Monday. He owns three newsstands, and he said no one will get the new issue today, Friday. So, it sounds like just the subscribers get to touch the real thing today, but non-subscribers have to wait until next week. Perhaps other parts of the country are different, but that's the story for Southern California.<br /><br />Marilyn in Woodland HillsMarilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031656993187631394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496489450166516267.post-64833837573978027662009-06-05T12:23:39.000-07:002009-06-05T12:23:39.000-07:00@Mona in Tuscon... did you ever find your issue of...@Mona in Tuscon... did you ever find your issue of ESPN?

I'm in the military and was assigned to a drug interdiction command watching over Central and South America and the adjacent seas to the U.S. There is no small amount of drug trafficking over water from South to North in your locale. One of the common methods of destroying the drug boats after use (by the villans) is to ditch them on the high seas - sometimes by blowing them up and sinking them. If this was happening at night, it could be a likely explanation of what you saw. Stay safe Zac. God is with you.

It is alleged that the myth of Mermaids was created when seamen witnessed manatees and the suckling of their young. I'm in Florida and have only seen a couple of them, but I can tell you now that anyone who mistook them for beautiful maidens had been at sea for much much too long! Fascinating creatures, the managees, but they are butt-ugly!<br /><br />Keep clicking off those miles. Each one becomes more prophetic! Ma, Pa.
