Free as a Breeze

When Plotnik finally closes the suitcase it all seems so simple, but getting there is always a giant pain. Without Ducknik, he'd be lost.

The Great Plotnik, who once considered himself free as the southern breeze, now can't go anywhere without a computer plus headphones plus cables plus flash drive plus camera plus battery charger plus cell phone plus charger plus guitar-when-possible. And a portable pharmacy. And plenty of clothing -- it might snow!

All this to go on a 4-person sailboat and then spend a little time on the beach.

Yes, it's pathetic. Yes, it is. But here we are. Ready to go.
