Most of the homecomings I can remember have been in the mid morning. This one had been scheduled for an early-ish morning and then was pushed back into the afternoon. Although it was hot (but really, it’s always hot) I actually appreciated this afternoon homecoming- we had time to get out and get things done! [...]

We got word earlier this morning that the ship might delay the departure by a few days due to rough weather in the forecast. We waited anxiously today, hoping that we might eek out another day or so, but then the word came back this afternoon that tomorrow is the day. Troy will have to [...]
