Hello Sailor.

I"ve had this tucked away in my computor for a long time. I found it on a yachting site when one of the round the world races was on in 2001. (Volvo?) The letter was pinned to a notice board in one of the competitors office.
Dear Sailors. Merry Xmas. I Know you are lonely, because my dad is in the navy. I wish my dad was home. I miss him. Also when dad is away mum prays more. All I hear from her room is, Oh God, Oh God, yes, yes, yes. I never learned that prayer. I hope you have a great holiday. Your Friend Shawn
