I got some winds from the northwest since my last dispatch.  I will see even better winds as I travel south.

I had a visitor.  It was a large bird, which looked like an albatross.  It was brown and had large wings.  It landed next to my boat and I stopped rowing.  For a while, the bird swam next to my boat and I gave it some bread.  I thought, “Will it now come into my boat and make a mess?”  A pet bird would be messy, but I could use a friend.  It later flew off.

I ate my last banana.  I still have apples, oranges and limes.  My bread is still good too.

I miss home and my wife, Nancy.
