... From The Flight Deck

I’m back in Malaysia in the Hotel Equatorial. I’ve never made it across the equator. However, if nothing else, I can say that I made it into the equator.

The flight was a bit rough. All the clouds in the world seem to have been crowded in our flight path. At least, the sky over the Black & Caspian Sea was clear. Both seas were actually quite blue.

Business as usual, even the regular line from the pilot that gets me into a fuss: “This is the captain speaking from the flight deck…” I bloody hope he’s on the flight deck. If he were not, I prefer better not to be told.
