Ughh, I think I'll take the SN Brussels option the next time the ferry sails outside of West Africa.

It is obvious that 28 years in the sea-faring industry wasn't quite enough to convince us that the ocean is big and we are small.

Thanks for your post!

Thanks for being the inside 'agent' on the AFM. You are doing a good job at keeping the rest of us--informed. Liked the pictures and miss the sailing.

Hey Colleen, is it my imagination or is this the same blog post I read here last year about the same time? Maybe you can do an anniversary version by just changing the title...
