#1 "It is an evil voyage, I tell thee. If Ahab has his way, neither thee nor me, nor any member of this ship's company will ever see home again."

#3 At the time, I didn't think anything about it, but I wonder iff that's the same whitish whale [spots] I'd spotted from Guam's TWO LOVER'S POINT back in January???

D *** NG IT, MADONNA > SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH SIR/MR. PEDRO, in "LAS ISLA BONITA".

Actually, some on Guam believe that the basis for Guam's Two Lovers Point legend goes further back than the Spanish = even pre-Spanish era, i.e. in that the sides of the HARMON cliff resembles the side profiles two human faces [male-female?] looking out into WESTPAC-EAST ASIA + SUN. TLP SUFFERED HEAVY US NAVAL BOMBARDMENT DURING WW2 [1944], as the US inavsion force believed the cliffline was prime for Japanese fortifications, espec given that TUMON was a viable alternate landing site for US ground forces.
