Lots of time jumps versus mens ships-- doesn't doing time-jumps sort of punch holes in the fabric of the universe or something? I thought we were s'posed to avoid doing it TOO much. Threads in the loom of time, and unravelling things, and all that? I would vote for mens' ships for that reason. But then that's a lot to explain and engineer...

Being a mere passenger (okay, four of them) I'll just hang on either way.

Uh-- I saved the spot, Sharon, just in case I needed it, and because I've been awfully quiet lately and I don't want the Tooks to drop altogether out of the story. (I'll think of something.)

Bird-- I'm confused. Who should say goodbye to you (of my characters) and when? Cami said goodbye to you-- don't we have a whole voyage ahead of us? We've got to get to the mouth of the Anduin, and then up the Anduin--it won't happen in one night, not at seven knots (tailwind, upstream.)

Confused passengers to Navigator... "Ruh?"

Love, --Helen
