At Sea…
June 1, 2007
We have been on ship now for about 3 months and all I can say is that it has been a slow and boring process for me. I have learned my way around this wretched tub, but I crave to be walking around with solid earth under my weary feet. My salvation is only the fact that it looks very likely that I will make it to this “New World” and start up a new colonie.
The ships captain insists that we are travelling with all possible haste, but I doubt his word. From my eye’s view, he is just a softhearted man who is afraid of overworking his merry little band of sea dogs, and like any captain, fears mutiny as well. Well, I do hope that this dreadful trip is over before long so that I may write more interesting things, but I can’t speed anything up any more than i already have so until next time…

Hello John Smith your trip must have been boring, I was never on a long trip like you were. But I have some questions. Did you ever feel like turning back to your home town because you thought you where not going to get there? Also what did you eat on the boat when you where coming over here?
Yes, the trip was excruciatingly boring, but no, I never once got the urge to turn around. And you know why? It was because of the thought of going where no civilized man has ever been before. As you know I am one for adventure and exploration, not sitting around and doing nothing useful. Our diet of what we ate on the way here consisted of dried fruit and trail rations. Rarely we got the chance at a hot meal. But when we did, it was either soup of this disagreeable lump of filth the sailors called “Sea Water Slump”.
