> Dear Willy,
> We have seen many of your friends as we have moved northeast. I am surprised it took you a bit of time to notice our presence in this great ocean given our size relative to you. I am actually an elegant water bird and love being offshore when my people take me out for a ride. As a bird, I prefer using my wings (I know it is a bit odd that I have 3 - more on that later), but yesterday afternoon it sure was exhausting. It just didn't matter how much I flapped those things around, there just was not enough wind for me to propel forward the way I like. After 6 hours of working on it though, the wind finally decided to cooperate and I have really been enjoying myself. Unfortunately, my people are insistent that I go to something called Point Alpha. This is highly annoying because I would prefer to just go as fast as I can - I can't wait to be free of that mark, so that I may fly where I like.
