The footsteps of Flieger and Grant

3:31PM.  Off now to see about a ferry ride to another island for 2015, and one that may loom large in your future if it can in reality approach the level of beauty and perfection it has attained in the imagination.  The weather gods have been good, with clear forecast through to Sunday.  I wondered if the companion for this mission would hold firm, but even in the midst of angst, it appears that all is prepared.  I leave now to assess the merits and drawbacks of the escape journey from the office, and shall report back tomorrow circa 10AM with an initial report.  Dreams may be dashed, or else the plans shall be rendered ever more firm.

It is a long time since 1792, and the means of transportation for this particular survey certainly much different than would have been employed by the original merchant and gentlemen entrusted with the land.  But it is with them in mind (and the aborted June 5 departure too) that I embark. 

Let us see whether the fates have anything special for the future in store.
