The next tour has started. An adventure of new places and vehicles for me. Yesterday, I flew Space-available on a military charter jet to Sicily. Cheryl and I will rendezvous on the north coast, then ride around the island, hoping to visit cities that we could not stop for in 2015. Then we will ride from Cagliari to the north end of Sardinia, and cross Corsica before taking a ferry to Nice. She will fly home, and I will make my way down to the nearest American air base to fly home as I came.

I have not ridden Sardinia or Corsica, but Cheryl has. All three of the big islands (isole grandi) feature rugged mountains. I expect a major challenge, from which I hope to return strengthened.

Long ago, I learned that I cannot blog while on tour with Cheryl. Instead, I am taking notes, and will post the reports after I return.

Meanwhile, enjoy sea stories and short stories on my author website, https://jthine.com/blog. I have uploaded them in advance, so a new one will publish every Saturday. Enjoy!

Smooth roads and tailwinds,
