I have packed away my belongings and filled out the identification tag attached to my suitcase. Kirsten and I have separated and ‘the house with no windows’ is my home.
My new address is:
Captain Michael J I Fincken, Elf Kantoor Straat, PO Box 88, McGregor, Western Cape, 6708 , South Africa
But I will not be home until 2008. I will be on the Rainbow Warrior until Christmas.

I thought you had sail of the end of the world -by the way is it really round – Ha ha ha. Welcome home to you lovely little house without windows. Sorry to hear of your seperation from your instant family – we are still here for you though. Your family beyond the computer keys. Glad to hear from you again – I was getting worried but hey here you are again. Looking forward to the sea mail of your travels across the ocean. Safe travels and let you hair blow in the wind.. What do you say again – high sails??? Sorry rememberer lets me down sometimes. Stay away from the burning shores in Greece. Till later then Captain. Lots of love Trace xxx (Vryheid – KZN)

Hoi Mike
About time you come the Pacific way. What you reckon? Separation is never nice, but then memories can be very good. As a consolation, all my ex’s are living on the same island as me. They may be gone, but never far away. Give my regards on board. Look forward to the writing. Cheers Martini

Hello Mike,Thought you had taken me off your mailing but glad you are back. I have just been in CT on a Jungian Congress and could have come to visit. Walked once from McGregor to Greyton, spent the night at the Post and walked back the next day. I think it was only 17 ks but I was walking in Tommy takkies and felt every little pebble. Sorry to hear of your seperation…. never an easy thing no matter what or how…I really feel for you. If you are ever in durban…. I doubt for a long time… consider me home for as long as it takes.Am looking forward to the episodes of your creative writing. Keep it up. Love Jane.
