Any Port But This One In a Storm

The Ancient Mariner sauntered through the door last night after five days at sea and another long day of meetings. We spent the evening making plans for the holiday weekend, primarily a trip to Tokyo to visit the War Museum and Nikon repair shop.

Tonight those plans are on hold thanks to Typhoon Songda. If the typhoon continues to head in our direction, most of the U.S. ships currently docked here will head out to sea to avoid the risk of being banged against the piers by high winds. At least he won't have to pack his sea bag since he hasn't gotten around to unpacking it yet.

The decision will be made and communicated by 7:00 am, at least that's what they are saying tonight, so there's still a chance we'll be on the 8:34 train to Tokyo. But I'm not holding my breath.
