Destination Easter Island

Well this is to be my last post for another month. Not that I’ve been writing anywhere near as regularly as I’d hope to be. Monday (Sunday for most of you) will be the day that the Soren Larsen, the crew and myself leave Auckland, New Zealand to sail for Easter Island. We’ll be leaving and sailling down into the roaring 40′s, and the Southern Ocean. The passage will be around 35 days or so, and we should be arriving at Easter by the end of April. I’ve set aside a few days of exploring there for myself, and then I’ll be flying into Chile to spend a little bit of time in Santiago, and then it’s back to the true north strong and free to enjoy what I hope to be a fantastic summer!

New Zealand was fun, but let’s face it. Canada kicks way too much ass for me to be here, and like one of my friends said before, I have way too many different interests to devote myself purely to one thing. I feel that I can better accomplish those things back home.

That and I’ve ran out of money.

But who cares! I’ll be back soon, so get ready, because I’ll be coming by to crash on your couches, drink your beer and play your video games. (Somebody better have an xbox 360 and a big DLP tv by the time I get back)

Wish us luck! I’ll be thinking about everyone on the trip!

    I’ve edited this sailor’s prayer to give it a more uplifting message.

    MOST powerful and glorious Lord God, at whose command the winds blow, and lift up the waves of the sea, and who stillest the rage thereof. Save, Lord, or else we perish. We confess, when we have been safe, and seen all things quiet about us, we have forgot thee our God, and refused to hearken to the still voice of thy word, and to obey thy commandments: But now we see, all thy works of wonder; the great God above all: And therefore we adore thy Divine Majesty, acknowledging thy power, and imploring thy goodness. Help, Lord, and save us for thy mercy’s sake in Jesus Christ thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

    Have a great voyage, Trevor!

    Well, Trevor called me the other day,,, STILL in Auckland, to say that the ship had to be brought up onto drydock so that they could make repairs to a leak they discovered in the foreward hull. This required removing old planking and replacing, caulking, varnishing, etc. That done they then had to wait out a cyclone. That was Sunday evening our time 10:00 am Monday (27th) NZ time. They expected to get under way by noon. So he’ll be a couple weeks late getting to Easter Island.
