We’re still in uncharted waters and the weather has been rather difficult, lately.

Nobody feels well, what with all the constant rocking back and forth. That’s wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t accompanied by sudden jolts from waves slamming into the ship’s side.

Somewhere, deep in the heart of the ship, there’s a broken support beam… I can feel it! We’ve set a course that should bring us within sight of land soon, hopefully.

This vessel is valuable and has seen me through many dangers, difficulties and hardships. With that in mind, it’s vital that we locate the damaged beam and repair it before it causes irreparable damage to the rest of the ship.

I have no fear of the water, nor will this vessel sink… she’s a tough old thing! We’ve just been through a few more storms than I am used to navigating in one single sailing season. That is the reason for my lack of correspondence, of late.

I’m confident that we should reach land before the week has ended. Once there, I don’t foresee repairs to take more than another week, after that. If I have time, I’ll try to send word.

For now, I’m off to check on the babes…
