The view in Villefranche
The captain of our vessel is Trond Kildal, which has been certified by a global governing body as the single coolest name of all time.
Rebecca likes him because he's a native Norwegian. Her goal for the 4-month contract is to talk to Captain Trond at some point and say "Mange takk," which means many thanks in Norwegian.
We had a chance on Saturday when we docked at Southampton. We went to the mall and saw him at The Gap, which was weird. He still managed to look very captainly even out of uniform. Rebecca decided not to say anything because he was busy looking at his cell phone or as the Brits say, "mobile."
Rebecca has just informed me that if we get a puppy and it's a boy, there is a possibility that we will name it Trond. This is awesome.
She has also just informed me that I should change the "if" in that last sentence to "when." This does not help my suspicion that she has only agreed to marry me because it might help her get a puppy.

Boy, be careful. It sounds like Douglas Adams is naming persons on your boat. The next thing you know you'll be whisked away on some crazy adventure and forced to battle a super-space puppy for Rebecca's affection.
