Tybee Island, GA, 2013

“Well, now if I ever live to be an old man
I’m gonna sail down to Martinique
I’m gonna buy me a sweat-stained Bogart suit
And an African parakeet” from “Migration” by Jimmy Buffett

I have sometimes thought how interesting it would be to travel by tramp steamer. Roaming from one random exotic port to another, exploring lesser traveled places, I romanticize it into a Bogart movie. Can you even do that sort of thing anymore? Even if so, I’m sure there would be many long spells of idleness, edited out of Bogey’s 90 minute script.

Still, the notion of running away (from what I don’t know) tantalizes.
