I reached one of my major goals.  I have been at sea for two weeks and have not gotten hurt.  This was good because I had to get used to life at sea.  All the comforts of home went away.  I can’t shower with fresh water, drink a cold soda or eat a fresh salad.

In a few hours, I will cross the border between the United States and Mexico. 

Yesterday, the waves towered around me and fell all over the place.  The sloshing seas were not fun. I rowed in two sessions.

I am worried about a storm called Delila.  I am not sure how it will affect my trip.

Three days ago, many ships passed me.  I must have been on the same path they use.  I have not seen a ship since.

Life is good so far.
