Good bye to my sea legs
So this wild ride is nearing the end – after a great concert in Odessa, the musicians, with the local musicians as well, came back to the boat – and started up another raucous party in the lounge. Everyone blowing off a lot of steam, relaxing, and celebrating a crazy 12 days. We have travelled down the Dnieper river, through Ukraine from Kiev to Odessa – with many memories and experiences along the way. Josh, the organizer, musician, and documentary film subject has been racing around, getting together concerts, jamming, and teaching a choir, also found the time to plan and shoot a short film of his own – here is a short clip of part of that experience. It has been a interesting experience for us the crew, taking in the culture, following Josh on this journey, and trying to suss it out in our heads how this will all work out.
It has been a great time – tonight is the final night – captain’s dinner, the choir shows their stuff, and more dancing and music to be played and sung. We then get onto a bus to Kiev at 5am, a plane to Frankfurt, via Toronto to Montreal. It’s going to be a long last haul – I am just wondering if when I get home, I am going to miss the rocking of the boat, and obviously, my floating musical film journey.
More later – after the jet lag has worn off.
Going through your posts and enjoying it. Learned it was your birthday on the 29th and that we share the same day. Happy belated and keep up the great work!
Glad you had a great trip. Hope your equipment gets all the way home with you! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more from the cruise. Good work!

Hi! We got back to Budapest on Sunday. That was a great two weeks long party, still so much music is going in my head. I look forward to see more of your work!
Bob also started to post about the trip on his blog,
