Preparations

Every week we head up to Vic University to learn a bit of Italian.

It is slow going for a variety of reasons. I am just so much more into doing things one last time here in New Zealand. Every day I check the water to see if its rowable. I would love to feel comfortable in the single before I am trying to rowing in a shipping lane in Genova. But instead I just make very very modest gains in Italian and rowing and packing and everything else I'm trying to do before I go.
