Family, Friends, and other Shinnfans,
I’m amazed at the response to yesterday’s post. That’s the most comments we’ve ever had on a single post. We’ll have to play guessing games more often. I don’t think the award comment transmitted all the way, but I’ll be sending the winner (Jon) a full-color picture of me, taken by the best photographer out here on the CGC Bear. That’s right, it’s a self-portrait taken at 9:45 p.m. (sunset) just a few minutes ago. He also has an all-expenses paid stay at the Shinn Hotel in sleepy, quaint little Reedley, Calif.
I exercised on the flight deck after work was finished today, then played some golf. A few guys got an entire garbage can full of used golf balls from a course just before we left, so we were just drivin’ the balls way out into the ocean. Very fun stuff. All to the tune of nature’s beautiful sunset. The water today was flat calm, and it’s hard not to enjoy being at sea during a lovely sunset with the water glistening around you in silky smooth undulations. It’s a sight that, for all its sameness, I never tire of looking at. Some porpoises came to play in our wake right about sunset. That was a cool sight, too.
Fair winds and following seas,
Andrew
Andrew,
Enjoyed your little guessing game yesterday – yes you should do that more often. I have enjoyed reading your blog and what you are doing and Lisa’s move to Reedley.
Love, Auntie Becky
Andrew: I realize that Jonathan Robert is the bright one in our family, but how about sending one of those pictures to your Grandmother. There should be some reward for thinking up all those silly answers. . . .

I guess it just goes to show how many faithful readers you didn’t know you had!!!!

BTW, when do I get my picture? Sooner would be better. Maybe you could get the captain to make a stop in London before he continues down to RRRRRrrrrrrrrrota.
