Treacherous Night Ahead

Breaking News: Our ship is heading towards the Strait of Messina. This is the little strip of water between Sicily and the "boot" of Italy. According to ancient Greek legends, the strait is home to two gods Scylia and Charbdis. Charbdis is famous for causing a whirlpool to swallow your ship and Scylia is a 6 headed monster with four eyes on each head. She is known for eating your ship's crew as you pass by. Charbdis is closer to the cliffs of Italy and Scylia is closer to Sicily. Mount Etna (Europe's largest volcano) can also be seen as we sail through. Last year the lava was visible...
 
Even though I know that I shouldn't be concerned about the Greek legends, the captain warned us that the waters tonight will be extremely rough and that we will be getting tossed around a lot. What concerns me is that in all of the rough waters that we've been through so far he has never warned us about them. So if he didn't consider those waters rough enough to warn us... how bad are these waters going to be!? During his explanation he also announced that a pilot will be coming on board to assist him through the narrow passage way. (Did you hear me just take a giant hesistant gulp?) We will be passing through tonight from 9 pm - 10 pm my time so 12 pm California time. If you happen to think of me in that time, just be greatful that you are standing on solid ground! We are getting our cabins all cleaned up so that things don't fall over and break. I feel like I'm preparing for an earthquake! It's quite odd. Let's hope that those greek legends are simply legends and that Mt. Etna is sleeping peacefully as we sneak by.
 
Here goes nothing!
 
(Oh and plans are official... we are going to Greece with the presumption that matters there do not worsen within the next week.)

  1. Thanks To God Almighty for using Doctor Razor's Quick cure for herpes to eradicate my herpes Simplex Virus...I got diagnosed with Herpes On August 19, 2015 and it resulted in a cluster of painful ulcers and many problems while urinating..  My situation almost caused me my marriage because my husband was having pressure coping with his work and my situation.. One morning, I read a testimony on a blog page online, of a natural cure from a Herbalist named Dr Razor who cured a 50 years old retired US Army official and he is now healed from dementia.. I immediately contacted him and I told him of my herpes, he encouraged me not to give up. I administered the natural Healing medication he sent to me and a few weeks later I went to the hospital for a check up and the result was clear.. It's been 4 years now and I am proud to let you know that I am still healthy and living happily with my husband and my 3 kids after the healing. I felt it best that I let you know that if you contact Doctor Razor through his email drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com , you can have a second chance of living again,because he will give you good results..
