Aspen - Log 11 Thursday 5 Dec; Another Set of Footsteps



On these slow windless days at sea a sailor's thoughts begin to wander.

Admiral Maria is Italian so obviously she is following in the steps of the Admiral of the Oceans, Columbus, as she sails across the Atlantic Ocean.

Captain Steve is of mixed blood. Some say he is part American Indian (although that has never been firmly established except for the slightly red skin), part German but German sailors were not renown for sailing across the Atlantic, part French as evidenced by his sailing skills (yea right) and then there is the British part.

Captain Steve is a direct descendant of Sir Oliver Cromwell, the ruler of England who was also directly responsible for the elimination of the British monarchy when he cut Chuck's head off (King Charles I, as he was
also known).

Sir Oliver only ruled for 9 years but I'm sure he must have had the idea of sending Admiral Nelson and Sir Francis Drake across the Atlantic Ocean before they were born. It was probably in Oliver's grand scheme of things so Captain Steve is now following in those footsteps too.

At least it makes for a good story among these endless rolling seas out here in the Atlantic Ocean!
