One moment you’re saying hello to a pod of dolphins who welcome you into the harbor after you’ve sailed for twenty-seven days. The next moment the bilge pump has broken, the floorboards are floating in salt water, and you’ve run out of drinkable red wine. Pamela and Dennis just made landfall in New Zealand after drifting south from San Francisco in pursuit of a quiet mind on an endless sea. Did the mind go quiet? Well, sort of, once or twice. And is the sea endless? Oh my, how endless.
