Countdown!

It is Nate's last week in Maryland. He leaves Friday, 4/17 in the morning, back to Miami. He won't be back except when he chooses to take leave here and there...

A positive for him - he found that a huge climbing gym is near his apartment in Miami - and he should be able to keep the aforementioned Miami apartment, as the crew has been responsible with the property. Yeah! It is rough enough to be on the boat when underway, it would be really cruddy to have to live out of a 6'x2' area.

And now he can climb when they aren't at sea.

Take care, kid!
