moving
up, down,
in, out,
climbing over,
ducking under,
down the steps,
up the steps,
crawling through,
bending down…
my muscles ache,
my back is stiff,
my body is complaining
about all the ways
you have to move
on board a boat
I guess I’d forgotten
or didn’t realize
that all those muscles
had gone unused
during seven months ashore!

Boy, to I identify with you and muscle use. After sitting around for 10 months I have found the muscles and endurance are going to need a time to rebuild. My hemoglobin counts are in the good range, but I certainly won't be setting the world on fire. Safe travels and thanks for your life updates.
