Adventures…
This is my ship:
Well, it’s not my ship at all, really, but I’m sailing on it tomorrow, so it already feels like my ship.
This ship is called Zawisza Czarny, which means the Black Knight. It’s a schooner built in 1901 and I’m happy as a monkey with a peanut machine to go and sail on it. It’s been some ten years since I did any serious sailing, so I’m rusty, slightly nervous, and oh so excited!!!
It’s sailing at sea. The Baltic sea. The voyage will takes us from Gdansk to Copenhagen and back.
The Baltic sea is cold. Martin, what have you gotten yourself into this time?
Well, at least winter only really started yesterday, so there won’t be any ice. Rule out the Titanic syndrome.
Hopefully we’ll make it to Copenhagen in time for New Years Eve. With a bit of luck and if the wind is right, I should be back home on the fifth on January. I’ll be offline until that date, so please don’t worry if I don’t answer my phone or reply to emails as fast as I usually do.
I’ll just wish everyone an early splendid New Year’s Eve, and may the New Year bring you all that you wish for. I just hope everyone is wise enough to know what to wish for! You might actually be granted your wish, you know….. 
I think my blog looks a lot better now, and it should after the amount of time and clicks I’ve spent on it during the last few days, but if you come across any errors, please forgive. My webmaster will fix everything in January, as he is on holidays at the moment. Thanks.
Cheers!

As deeply envious as I am about your sailing jaunt, I must say “I’m happy as a monkey with a peanut machine” is the most amusing thing I’ve read in a while! Cheers on your wonderful holiday though, Happy New year! May you make many beautiful suits.
