The boat voyage

The boat voyage will have to happen at some point. I've had minor contact with the sea or boats. Some canoes, rowboats, rafts, and a kayak. Also roundtrip by ferry between England and Holland, another overnight ferry from Maine to Nova Scotia or some other Maritime province.

But one day it will have to be a longer trip and I think the boat will need to go through at least some cold air. It would be a definitive trip, the real thing, if the length of the trip was indeterminate -- we may be gone a month, or maybe two, or maybe longer. That sort of trip requires a purpose for the boat, where the achievement cannot be guaranteed within a certain amount of time.

I don't think this boat trip will be anytime soon.
