November 10

Captain Tom’s boat is still in the same condition I remember it from 16 years ago – the paint is still chipped, it still creaks like a house built during the Revolutionary War and it still smells terrible.

The wheelhouse is covered in maps and charts, and the cooler that I remember always being stocked with 40’s of Colt 45 and cans of Spam shows signs of being attacked by someone with a sharp instrument, perhaps a pickaxe.

I found an unsent letter lying on the floor of the cabin, and it reads as follows:

“There’s gold in them thar waters!”

No indication of to whom Captain Tom was planning on sending the letter, or if it was just for his own benefit.
