I’ve made the joke that no matter where I go, no matter how much I intend to relax, ‘adventure’ will always find me. This used to be a reference to the fact that when friends and family have a crisis, they know they can reach out to me.
I wasn’t expecting adventure to find me at the beach, nor for it to be quite as literal.

I get that it’s a gimmick, but really: how often do you expect to walk out on your 27th floor balcony and see a pirate ship?
Stay safe out there, readers!
