This is my journal, as I traveled around the world on a working freighter. My 4 month journey began in Houston, Texas on October 16th, 2008 and ended exactly where it started, on February 21st, 2009. Because I did not have internet access, special thanks to Dave and Laura, who cleaned up what I beamed in by satellite.

Birds were flying all around, picking off the fish attracted by the lights. 0300 Weighed anchor. 0440 Passed beneath the Bridge of the Americas. 0555 17 men boarded. Canal people operate the ship here. The passage has started. Time estimates posted yesterday are probably 2 hours early.
