To get away from one’s working environment is, in a sense, to get away from
one’s self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change.

Could it really be true that the Pacific calms down in February as some have said to me. True or false, that’s what happened for us on this first day of February. Now, I wouldn’t say that we had a flat-calm sea state, but the motion of the ocean was negligible in comparison to what we have been experiencing. Though there was a stiff breeze, the sun was out, and except for some puffy clouds that added texture, the sky was blue. All in all, a wonderful day at sea.
And yes, I spent most of my waking hours enjoying the day on the veranda.
