Day 41
So what do I think about when hand steering for 3 hours from midnight, in the pitch dark, with only the 3 illuminated digital navigational dials to keep me company? I like to imagine visiting family and friends. In my mind's eye I visit them, perhaps in their home, or where ever it is I know them well. I can sometimes smell the place or even hear the sounds of their surroundings. I like to sit down beside them. Make sure their OK. I bring three small bags for them, containing peace, happiness and love. I wonder if they ever know I have been there, or find these bags. Ana
