| Closest to the shore line and the elevated wooden structure I have made my home the past few months, lies the Starting Port. It is there that we will sail off. Kybernetes, my childhood friend and fearless steersman who has accompanied me on most of the journeys in my mind, arrived to town yesterday evening. We made a small fire down at Sandy Beach, roasted some chestnuts, and gazed at the bright starry sky while we caught up on events and a bottle of strong liquor. Kyb, as most people know him, is an excellent navigator of these vast open waters. His father, and his father before him, stem from a long line of steersmen, who have handed down nautical tools, tales, and trades since, well, before time existed, really. Kyb keeps a detailed map where and which unfortunate souls were fooled by the alluring voices of the Sirens along the rocky edges of many an island way out West. He knows exactly where others have stranded, while trying to find short cuts in narrow alleyways between steep cliffs. Some poor bastards spent the rest of their mortal lives in a closed-off cave trying to find a way out, or entangled in the arms of an extravagant creature who dragged them down to the ocean floor to meet their offspring for an early supper.

| I am aware of the risks, and know that I can count on Kyb's knowledge to steer me in the right direction.

| 12noon - Mr. Leerintveld from the Royal Library forwarded a confirming message from Adriaen Coenensz. He is expecting us in Scheveningen to show his latest specimen, the encyclopedic Visboeck that he has been working on since 1577. He just finished page 375, Le Loup Marin, or Sea Wolf, and added detail to Monstrom Leoninum, the Sea Lion. From recent conversations with several fishermen, Coenensz. acquired several creatures that have been sighted near Faraway. He has since added in-depth descriptions of Satyrus Marinus also known as Pan Marinus, the fish tailed, scorpio clawed daemon of the seas. Kybernetes has not seen this volume yet, and has heard from several fishermen that it contains invaluable content for our trip.

| 11 - The doorbell rings. I pull the chord that runs along the right-hand wall of the steep staircase. The front door opens a few centimeters. An orange blur behind the glass door mumbles "p--kgh," throws a white envelope into the building, and closes the door again. Excited, as this is hopefully the waterproof outfit a tailor in Ireland made me for the occasion, I run down two flights of stairs. A blue stamp indicates that it is indeed delivered by Royal Mail from Killbride Road, Ballyclare, Ireland.

| 11:15 - The plumber will be here in 15 minutes to fix a small leak in the back of our vessel.
