1,981 miles from paradise

 They estimate the Yellowstone river at 15 mph. Wow, the Mississippi was 7 mph when we sailed it.

                                      The Yellowstone at flood stage.

 One farmer told me he has lost more land in the last two weeks to erosion then in the last ten years combined.

                                           Unbelievably fast water on the Yellowstone.

Well we are still in Billings Montana. I am working the oil spill here. I have mixed emotions about it. My first problem is that I am allergic to work and I would rather be on Morgan. That's not the biggest problem though as this is about the easiest job I have ever had in my life. It is also the highest paying. That said, you would think what could possibly be the problem. Well, it is a little hard to explain, but I will try. I have worked for myself for so long that it is extremely hard not to put 110% into what I am doing. Now I am working for a large company that is working for another large company, so common sense flew out the window along time ago. Since both of these companies have internet access, and I like easy money that is all I am going to say.

I did a gooogle map search and Morgan is 1,981 miles away. I am missing being on her so much. I have been watching youtube videos of sailing the Caribbean. I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse, but I can't stop. I keep telling myself  "no pain no gain" Working here will really help the cruising kitty. Our goal is to be in St. Thomas by March. This will really help enable us to do that. Well I don't want to bore anybody with a bunch of non sailing jeberish so I will shut up now.
