Imagine that your friends and co-workers and half your neighborhood all decided to pack up and move one day; teams mopping their way through offices the day before, a whole caravan of buses and land-rovers and one huge truck driving down the major highways...
Yep, we've finally moved "home" again! Crew already on board were waiting to greet us; our ship home decked out in balloons and world flags and a large sign that excitedly welcomed us back.
And it truly is good to be back. Our directors warn us that it might not be quite "homey" yet, that the internet and electricity and water and AC may go in and out, we'll have scheduled blackouts and frequent emergency drills to prepare for the sail. My cabin is partly underwater (so no windows) and pitch black with the door closed - excellent for night shift in the future, and for now lit camping-style with a mag light.
But it's a wildly fun adventure. And if blackouts and drills bring us closer to the sail then I say...bring them on!
