I have removed myself...

...To Pescespada Island, which is somwhere in the Indonesicific Ocean. Where we listened to David Bowie and Gao Gilberto. And damn the acrid taste of wine and not enough cigarettes. We'll have to dip into the Good Stuff. Fortunately my manservant Klaus has the complete works of Thomas Malfort's early naval works (whose first, sventh, and third novels I haven't read--because they don't exist) and a stock of fine tobacky.
