Evanston: leaving in CHIDIOCK
Evanston: leaving in CHIDIOCK
These photographs were taken by Jim Boulter on November 12, 1978, as I left Quivera Basin in San Diego’s Mission Bay for the Marquesas Islands three thousand miles to the southwest. I thank him for sending them to me.
I had forgotten that I ever owned that sweater,which once was a favorite. It couldn’t have lasted more than a few days.
I had also forgotten the exact date. One advantage of writing about your life is that you can look yourself up. November 12 was the day after my 37th birthday, so I was old enough to know better. I’m glad I didn’t.
