Neptune is waiting

Hello everyone, my name is Marcel and I am one of the five member crew heading from Hawaii to Fiji. We have been at sea now for 13 days and have almost arrived at the equator. We should arrive at Neptunes' front door in less than an hour and asked for his blessing for a continued save journey. To persuede the kingly gentlemen of the high seas we have brought some champagne in his honor and will consume it at the appointed hour. We have traveled almost 2000 miles since our departure and still have
over a thousand to go. During this time we have had the pleasure of seeing many a flying fish, some of which came for a visit on deck, and many different seabird species. The amazing thing about that is that there is no land within hundreds of miles, yet these birds can survive above a dessert of water, floating around in the air and skimming in between the waves like surfers. They make it look so easy. And just like these birds conversation II has also made it easy for us to adopt our new way
of life; the life we share with these birds. The way she rides the waves and troughs and delivers us safely to our destination with, of course, the blessing of Neptune. Cheers!
