She planned to take the ferry to Hope Town on New Year's eve day, tho when she shared about her move with Captain Jim and Michelle ... Jim said he'd take Pilger to Hope Town the next day. 12-31 Pilger's crew arrived in Hope Town Abacos BAHAMAS for New Year's ... and Linda felt she would like to spend some time here. Shipmates and Linda dinghyed into shore upon arrival. Linda walked extensively to discover the town ... and met numerous town residents.

At 4am on the morning of September 12th, 2001, after seeing on TV (the day before) the second plane come around the back of and explode into the World Trade Center building, Linda created a new piece of art in a 30" by 40" frame. Later on the 12th, Linda asked permission to remove several photographs and a 20" by 24" piece of art with writing that were on exhibit in a long hallway leading from the parking lot into the Cape Cod 5 Bank in Orleans, MA and replace them with this 'new' piece of 'writing'. The new piece of art shared two thoughts: One is a question Linda wrote at the beginning of a Provincetown Poetry Festival 'master class' writing exercise:
The other shares about the French philosopher Teilhard de Chardin who created the word 'noosphere' to describe the layer of thought that hovers above nature and acts as a universal consciousness . . . a 'thinking envelope' that our thoughts go up to and then are reflected back. ...
Included in this piece of art … Incrementally I believe this is a 'Formula for WORLD PEACE' ... and a way (perhaps THE WAY) to calm our Earth's weather patterns.
