Captain Darrow,
Thank you for your company last week. I thoroughly enjoyed swapping stories with someone as well traveled as you. Most of my friends here don't quite understand when I start babbling about the cultural differences. Their eyes glaze over and they nod along mutely. So, again...thank you.
Have you had any updates on your ship? I can't imagine your crew is happy about being dockside for this long. I know I'd be displeased if my travels and/or livelihood were indefinitely suspended.
Sincerely, Jo Smith
