multinational rays & hurrays
for this our first manyfold summer pointing season inaugural
class a
with asher already winging his way west across the pond today
also just learned our already quite challenging & ambitious try to
find the tiny & totally unmarked njny state line at ellis island next
sunday will be further complicated by the need to smuggle our
border blueprint & navigational aids & marking tools & even our
lunch past the hyperactive new york harbor security regime
which actually promises to search & require island ferry
passengers to go completely empty handed if not naked
& has even managed to shut down the statue of liberty itself
yikes
indefinitely
tho the ferry still pays a sentimental call at the liberty island dock
before proceeding to ellis island
so this is liable to be far more demanding than any international
border or airport
& i may even have to wear socks this time so i can stash a little
something between my toes
