Did I mention the ship? On Thursday our company outing was a two-hour tour on a four-masted schooner. I quite enjoyed it - except for the heat and humidity. It flattened me. Now I have a sore throat etc. But I got to watch them raise the main sails and unfurl the top sails. There were about a hundred people in the group and the ship had something like a crew of eight.

Somebody brought an albatross along, though. We had a hard time finding any wind.

PS. My brother arrived safely.
