I was minding my own business, sailing away from Ogygia (it took so long to say goodbye to Calypso, I think she'll really miss me; I just miss my wife and son) and all of a sudden I was shipwrecked again!
I'm so angry at Poseidon. He's a god, and maybe I was a little cruel to his son Polyphemos, but that's really no excuse for this behaviour!
Anyway, I should stop saying that because I'd like to make it home safely this time.
I told the Phaeacians who I am. They're suitably impressed, and were very happy to hear all the stories that I had to tell. I must admit, I had to keep checking back on this blog, because seven years is a really long time to remember everything that I did!
Something tells me that I might actually get home this time. I have a really good feeling about the journey. I have a cool plan, too, to disguise myself as a beggar or something when I get home to see what's been going on in my home.
Got to go now, about to sail home to Ithica!!
