What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do — especially
in other people’s minds. When you are traveling, you are what you are right there and
then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.

Last night we set our clocks 30 minutes forward. Yes, for the first time on our westbound voyage, we lost a bit of time. Or more accurately, we gave back a half-hour of the five hours we have gained since leaving Miami. This time change was made to put us in the same time zone as the Marquesas Islands, our next port of call. However, it may turn out that the change was for naught.
