Cashless Considerations

An interesting week. Joy in crafting the Immortal Memory offset by falling stocks.  Always frustrating, darkening the mood slightly.  The randomness of it taken as some sort of negative sign.  Concerns over access to cash, and the reminder of the chasm that would open if you truly cut all professional ties.

Combine that with the HDBC meeting on the tolling application, and knowledge of the work ahead on marginal pricing and rates.  The comfort of the MEA annual dinner.  How drastic must the plans be?  What if, instead, you take Spiro's advice?  The passive investment route.

Can you convince Lav to stay on for year 20?  Would that extra year provide further security, without jeopardising the theme of ultimate escape?  Will Antarctica have you returning refreshed enough?  All possible.  May-June shaping up to be critical.  Need to think up whether there are any back-up plans on the coming voyage.
