November 16

I quit my job today.  I told my dolphin-hating, Red Sox-cheering boss that, judging by my constant preoccupation with my favorite aquatic mammal, I have no choice but to see my plan through to its conclusion.  Starting tomorrow, Captain Tom, Tracey and I will start preparing The Poinsettia for its voyage.

Captain Tom gave me a checklist of things to bring along:

1)      Two changes of warm clothes.

2)      Any old issues of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition I happen to have lying around my house.

3)      Beer.

4)      Scuba gear.

5)      A camera.

6)      Ted Kennedy’s memoir.

I will write again after our preparations are complete, just before we set sail.
