I'm out on the boat these days. Quite different from the good 'ol days. Now I have wifi fed into the boat in pretty much any harbour I visit (thanks to a long-range antenna).

I wasn't sure about my this particular assignment. It had involved a red-eye to Auckland, via Singapore, where the airport facilities had been shut down to the minimal night-time vending machines, if you could locate them. From there, the island-hopping Air Tahiti Nui ATR 42-500 had finally deposited me on this narrow strip of land called Totegegie, part of the Gambier group of islands. This is where I was to pick up my 'rental', a beat up DHC Beaver painted a hideous shade of candy floss pink: I' d been given a couple of stick-on sheets promoting the company's support of a totally unknow -
The troops only let me fly at the end of the day when they have no further use for the airplanes. I don 't mind. It really is the nicest time to fly in the PNW. Here's J.ust A.nother B.eaver Heading Northwest out of Sequim, WA for Nanaimo, BC. For those not familiar with the area, the town of Sequim Washington is pronounced "Squim".
