On the first day I tried to start my trip, a kind man came up to me. He asked me how I sleep.  He then asked, “Do you have a pillow?”  I didn’t.  He asked if I would like one and I said, “Sure.”

He came back with a large box.  I said, “Are you sure?  That looks brand new.”  He said he had many more.  “It’s my product,” he said, handing me the box with pride.  His name was Roger. 

Sleep is important on this journey.  With Roger’s pillow, my head feels cradled and my neck is not strained.

A flying fish landed on my boat last night.  I thought about eating it for breakfast.  But I did not want to deal with it.  So I put it back in the sea.  The mahi mahi will be around soon. I can catch some to eat.
