On His Way

All Bob had to say was that he needed someone agile on the boat. With that Adrian's decision was made. He's going sailing along the Dalmatian Coast in the Adriatic.

Getting there a day or two was a good idea. It  gave him time to climatize and prepare for the next two weeks which was going to be on a sailboat with four out of five others he has yet to meet. The vessel, Ana B, a 2008 jeanneau 49i.

By way of Munich he made his way to Split without a hitch. For him it was like any other flight. Getting on and off seems to be the best part. If he could be sedated for the middle he would, but as you may or may not know he prefers to remain concious for most things.

His name somehow gets called out several times during and before the flight which he deems uneventful. Twice at the gate before boarding and a couple of times during the flight. Seemed that  friends travelling wanting to sit together, request for a seat change. Adrian happened to have the one  they want. The other times were when a flight attendant couldn't locate him in the plane due to an outdated passenger list. They knew Adrian checked in and was on board, but where. If only the pronounced his name correctly they would not have been kept in suspense for so long. The commotion did not last long and in the end it was all about a meal preference that need to be confirmed.
