Reflections: whales and more whales

I saw the Milky Way a couple of nights ago and learned how to find the North Star. The seas are still rolling, but whale sightings, especially a mother and calf, brought joy. Time changes are nearly complete, soon aligning with home. I asked the captain to stay aboard until Sunday or Monday, giving me a few days to explore Gijón. I have also been reflecting on shifting my Substack toward Growing Up and Growing Old, blending writing, drawings, and podcasts. Everything is fine, and I send love to you all, hoping for updates from Julian, Sarah, and Giui.
