Setting sail to sea & Beyond

Setting Sail To Sea & Beyond.
As I sit here on deck with my laptop, enjoying the fresh air, the sun & unfathomable expanse of the ocean I see the depth gauge reading 505 feet of depth. It is a perfect example of the power & influence of the ocean. I have heard stats about how much ocean there is & while the numbers are staggering floating atop 505 feet of water as far as my eyes can see is a wonderful experiential reminder of the magnitude of the sea.
I love sailing because it is so peaceful & so sustainable. Wind is free it is a force of nature. When harnessed is a great force for movement as well as electricity. With the wind alone it is possible to sail around the world & power this computer and more at the same time. That is sustainability at work. There is no need for fossil fuel electricity or fossil fuel to fuel the movement. It is free & renewable. The technology is quite simple & while sail boats these days are very sophisticated using very technological materials that is not necessary& even so far more sustainable than most forms of travel.
The depth finder reads 588 feet. As I look across the starboard side I see the setting sun reflecting off the water in blinding light. The sea stretching as far as I can see & much much further. Behind me I see the coast line in the distance Mexico territory in fact. We crossed the border earlier today but there are no check points, no dotted lines just more ocean FREE TERRITORY. We plan on arriving in a port town tonight to file papers, show passports & get fishing licenses anyways.
Today has been cold & foggy day. If someone were to be put on this boat not knowing where we were they would not believe they were in Mexico. As we set sail this morning it was cold & so thick with fog that the sun looked like the moon just a pale soft glow. As we left the port of San Diego the huge city of skyscrapers and buildings were the last land we saw until these last few minutes of seeing Mexico territory. Land spotted with small buildings.
I love that during the day’s journey hardly a sound was heard that was not made by us, hardly a sight was seen that was not of the ocean. Water, birds, floating bunches of kelp, water, fog, water. There were no lines to drive in or speed limits to obey. There were no fasten seat belt signs, swine flue warnings or rules about carrying liquids. Just us & the boat, doing whatever we felt was best to do with what we got. That’s my style!
BORDER CHECK!
Arrived in Sennada where we will spend the night & check in with the officials so that we are here under the circumstances of approval. I was at the helm for the entrance into the port. As I steered in I realized that the huge clump of lights that was in the distance was not a factory or huge building but a cruise ship! The paradise was large & bright towering over us as we sailed by. It was quite a scene especially in comparison to this small town.
First day at sea I saw a whale. Pretty sure it was a grey whale though I only saw it fully leave the water once. By the time I got the camera there were not any good shots to get. I enjoyed it fully however & am very pleased to have shared the day with a whale. I have had experiences with the whales before & have been very moved each time.
My favorite Whale experience was while doing some wilderness adventuring in Alaska. I was with 5 friends there for 3 weeks. We didn’t see or hear another person once. On a particularly long day of kayaking we were searching for a camp spot towards the end of the day and saw some spouts way off in the distance. We decided a good camp spot was less important than playing with the whales. We kayaked closer. When we were about 100 yards we stopped and just sat drifting with the ocean. It appeared to be about 5 whales. The largest of the pack I am guessing the male/father swam over to use and circled us about 10 yards away. The size and power of the whale was very moving. Their grace was surprising. They were the size of school busses moving with ease & grace through the water as smoothly as a fish. One little tale flick could have sent us flying through the air & the boat destroyed. I could feel there massive power and ability in the water. Such contrast to my small size and very limited ability in the water. Completely in their element rising out of the water, flicking its tail, spouting 7 circling us. Feeling us out, feeling what we were about. He must have decided we were meant to interact for he swam away & returned with the rest of his family. 3 little whales who were still larger than our kayaks & his mate not as large as him but still quite impressive. They played & sang around us for what seemed like eternity. We just sat there unmoving transfixed & in awe of the experience. This is still one of the experiences of which stand out for me in this life. So intimate, real, natural, & powerful. When the whales finally went on their way we were speechless, so moved & thankful for the extraordinary experience. Touched by the presence of these wise graceful beings we paddled on in a surreal glow.
I am reminded often of this wonderful experience and most defiantly so when I hear, see or think of a whale. Today was a brief glimpse but awesome all the same.
Ocean Medicine
Being on the water is very calming. Sleeping very well & relaxing very easy. I am loving how comfortable & usable this sail boat is. It’s a 40 foot boat with 35 of that being cabin space. It is about 10 foot wide cabin space. We have a bathroom a shower a kitchen with an oven & stove, blender, food processor, electric beaters, bowls, plates, cups, silverware, knifes, cutting boards, refrigerator, freezer, running hot or cold water, filtered drinking water system, pots, pans, & more. We have a table couch, two sleeping beds. We have enough room for cloths, food supplies, fishing gear, survival gear, boat supplies, ropes, books, plenty of power for lights, computers, heating, stereo system & more. Plus there is 4 of us on board living quite comfortably. The space is just so utilized. Every couch is also storage. Every bed is also storage. I love the fact that every aspect of the boat is thought through & designed for really utilizable space. Every light, pole, cabinet, counter, stove etc is thought out to be efficiently utilizable in multiple ways.
This also highlights for me the obvious fact that homes & almost all living spaces, especially in the states is so inefficiently designed in almost all ways but highlighting here the use of space ( I have a youtube video in editing process showcasing the boats efficiency under my youtube page) So many materials could be saved. So much space could be freed up. Its less space to heat, its less space to light, less space to clean, less space to paint, etc etc. I will make sure to make a video highlighting the efficiency of this boat.
Spent the day in Ensenada mostly waiting for the captain to get all the government technical waste of time paper filing bull shiznit taken care of. So I took the opportunity to get some sun, building my base coat for the heavy sun to come. Took some uber gorgeous photos & utilized the time at port to get some internet action in posting this blog & uploading epic pics.
I did meet a sailor in port here from Greece who offered me a crew spot on his sailing back to Greese next year. Could be an awesome opportunity if I wind up loving the sailing life. I defiantly want to go to Greece & sailing is a sweet way to go. I love how many wonderful opportunities are presented just being, completely un planned or actively sought out. Simply being present with what is important to me, embracing the divine synchronicity, keeping faith & appreciating it all! The universe provides all opportunity in the most wonderful unexpected ways to those in allowance of the abundant nature of the universe!
Settling into bed as we plan on leaving in the morning, heading out to sea for some real sailing. We will be sailing at least 60 miles off coast so we can get some good wind & sail all night & day for 3 plus days. This means we will constantly have people at the wheel & on watch duty. So there will be a lot less sleep & rest time. I am ready for the experience, feeling pretty well rested & ready to go.
Not sure when I will be able to post again, however I will be writing as the days go by & post it all in a chunk at next internet opportunity. ON WARD!
Vast Open Ocean
Been way out at sea for our 350 mile sail to the next stopping point “Turtle Bay” 350 miles doesn’t sound long but a good traveling speed for us is 7 knots per hour which is 1.15 miles per hour. A nautical mile is 1 nautical minute. There are 60 nautical minutes in 1 degree. So take 60x360 degrees & its about 2100 nautical miles which is the circumference of the earth.
So to travel 360 miles takes a couple days or more depending on the wind. If we get no wind of very little wind for a period of time then we travel slower which means a longer journey. When out at sea sailing we always sail because if we didn’t we would be getting knocked around by the waves. So unless there is absolutely no wind we are on the move, all night all day on the move. We do watches of 2 people every 4 hours. There are 4 of us so every 4 hours we change shifts. That means 4 hours on 4 hours off so we don’t sleep more than 4 hours at a time. We have 7 different sails that we are changing in & out depending on the weather. We used our drifter sail today for a few hours as we were in very low wind. It is a type of sail that is thinner & a bit larger that generates more movement from less wind. We were actually able to get it to generate 7 knots per hour speed which is about the same as our other sail in a bit higher wind. The fastest speed we have reached has been 10 knots though that was brief & actually a little fast. We have been making relatively good time so far these past two days & may make it to Turtle Bay almost a day ahead of schedule.
Up until now I have been mostly very very sea sick! I would be in fact in torturous misery if it were not for my mental hope & clarity. Though I have not eaten any food or even drank any water for over 30 hours & been puking up everything including my bile I stay focused on the fact that I will be ok & that this is an opportunity for me to acclimate to sea life becoming more capable for it.
I am actually quite surprised that I got so sea sick even thought this is my first time out at sea. While I know I am capable of anything I also forecast my great ability in all that I do. So here I am although relatively comfortable right now very sea sick. I have chosen to not use any sort to sea sickness aid & find my own ability to acclimate to this experience. I have not been sick nor had a cold in over 8 years & have become SO accustomed to such an easy pleasurable, enjoyable life it has been quite a shock to be in so much discomfort for such a long period of time. It has been quite a mental test for me to stay focused & not sway to misery. Meditation has been a great aid. Even though I cannot eat or drink without puking as long as I am in meditation I am in relative peace. Though I have deck, watch & helm shifts that make for a very long uncomfortable 4 hours. I have been getting some help from my friends making my shifts a bit easier but still very uncomfortable. Even now as I write this I am feeling a bit queasy, tired & sick. So on that note I will log off & meditate.
From Darkness To Light
After a very tiring, painful night of watch, helm & deck duty this morning brought great beauty, enjoyment & fulfillment! The sun was shining, it was warm & if felt like we were in Mexico! We took our first swim in the open ocean. It was not worm but very nice for swimming, very refreshing & lots of fun! Took my first shower since leaving on the 3rd after the refreshing swim on the back of the boat with the little hand held dishwasher sprayer, laid out in the sun, soaking up some very fulfilling rays kept on sailing in the calm clear seas with our drifter sail. The drifter sail is my favorite so far as it is very beautiful with its multiple colors & thin wavy fabric like that of a hot air balloon or parachute. We changed sails a few times over the day depending on the wind situation.
I was able to ingest my first bit of nutrients into my body in the form of a foamy glass of banana water! ½ banana & 1 cup water blended to perfection! MMMMMM it tasted so so so good! That sat well with me & was the first bit of liquid or food that I had ingested in over 48 hours. I have fasted for many days plenty of times but not without water & defiantly not under these conditions. Normally I drink plenty of water & do lots of relaxing, stretching, meditation, breathing etc. Quite an experience I must say. I do feel very clean & energized now however. It is quite late & the crew is asleep but I lie awake brimming with energy! I also ate a half an apple, a spoonful of spirulina & some fresh caught salmon sashimi! I have felt great all day & continue to feel better.
Desolate Exploration
We arrived at Turtle Bay this afternoon & blew up the dingy to go ashore. This was indeed one of the most interesting towns I have been too. Very desolate towards the bottom of the Baja Peninsula, very dry & desolate. There is very little here but dirt & some pieced together houses. I really enjoyed the walk through town which did not take too long as it was quite small. So many fantastic photo opportunities. Saw 3 different osprays (sea going hawks basically) 1 atop a church cross & another with a fish atop an old tank of some kind. Lots of great pictures of walls & fences compiled of pieces of materials of whatever could be scrapped together. Boards, metal sheets or any sort of flatish material. There didn’t seem to be any tourist action here nor much of any business at all. I am guessing most of the income is from fishing &a small bit of outside visitor cash when it shows up. We did hear that if we find a panga (small Mexican motor boat) we can buy lobsters for $1! There are lots & lots of lobster/crab pots in this area.
After the walk of the town & many photos we headed back to the ship where it was anchored awaiting our return. We cooked up a feast of Tuna Stir Fry & two kinds of sashimi. The tuna was cought by us & really wonderful. I ate that as well making it quite feast for me in contrast to the last few days. We at out on the deck of the boat with our little portable table by candle light rocking to the small waves, listening to some fantastic music & watching the sea life around us play as we ate. You just don’t get dining like that, quite a first class experience indeed. Afterwards we played cards & ate chocolate enjoying the perfection of life.
Spent the last couple hours writing, editing & recording some didj tracks, feeling lots of inspired life force cursing through me for the first time in what feels for me as A VERY long time. I love to feel good!
The stars are absolutely beautiful out here at sea. Especially out in the open sea where there is nothing buy sky & water as far as the eye can see. The stars are so bright when the clouds are cleared that the stars seem countless & the Milky Way is glowing like a nightlight in the sky. I can see how people have become fascinated with the stars & planets being able to experience it in this way. It has been a while since I saw stars like this. Probably since my extreme camping trips in Alaska, where we also get to see the northern lights! A most wonderful bonus indeed =D> I my self am content & enjoyed to appreciate the beauty & depth of the night sky as it is.
A side note we often pass cruise ships at sea going from one port to the next. They often times look like city glows on the horizon & can be seen for 15-20 miles. It isn’t until there are looming closer that it is sometimes realized that it’s a boat unless that is it’s a glow in the middle of the ocean where we are quite sure there are no cities ;-)>
Clarity & Perspective
These last few days really brings to clarity the difference between pain & suffering. Pain is painful yes, suffering is far worse. The difference from my experience is experiencing pain as pain & amplifying that pain to misery by the content of one’s mind. When I am in pain & just breath, experiencing it for what it is its, then it passes, birthing beautiful glorious contrast. When pain is amplified by the mind putting it into the past future & making it into a lot more than just pain it becomes misery thus leaving scars that effect life after with negative results.
Sometimes pain is a part of life. I still don’t think it’s important to seek out pain, focus on pain or create it to provide contrast. However sometimes it is there & it does provide contrast. Pain is an opportunity for me to really see what I am made of. Pain is an opportunity to find out what is really important, to come to clarity on what is not working thus bringing forth this pain & focus in hope, on the light.
I just recently read a book called The Miracle Of Mindfulness. In this book it points to the importance of being present with whatever it is that we are doing. For if we do what we are doing to get somewhere, get finished, to accomplish something then we are not actually living or doing what we are doing but putting our energy into the future. So that even when we accomplish, get done, or finish what it is we are doing we can’t really enjoy that either for most likely we are still not present.
I really like this for it has been important to me for a long while to be present with what it is that is. Scrubbing the deck is scrubbing the deck. Being present with this allows me to be present with whatever comes after as well. Being present allows me to appreciate the freshness of the air, the beauty of the clouds, the sweetness of the nature sounds, & the amazement of the stars. These are all very simple wonders of life that are very commonly present that can be part of much beauty & enjoyment. They can also be aspects of life that are not appreciated or over looked due to lack of presence with the now.
I feel this same presence of mindfulness is important in sickness & pain as well, for even though it is not enjoyable it is what is. By being present with the whole experience it allows for great evolution, awareness & empowerment from the process without common side effects of unconscious decisions, thoughts, & patterns being integrated in the process. I highly recommend this simple & short aid to mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh.
Beautiful Day
Greeting this beautiful day again feeling alive, inspired & healthy! A slightly overcast morning with dew on deck to mop it with is nice & easy in comparison to filling buckets to mop a dry deck with. The sun is burning off the mist to reveal a warm sunny southern day! We are looking at setting sail again this morning to get on our way to The Sea Of Cortez that we foresee to be quite wonderful indeed. While I am excited to play in the Cortez I must admit I am not too excited to engage the open sea again! Haha it is as It is, may experience bless me with enjoyable wellness.
AHHHHHHHHHh another sunny wonderful day in Turtle Bay. Took the dingy out to a beach where I took hundreds of photos ;-)> got lots of sun & did one of my other favorite things which is harvest treasures from the beech!!! I collected a nice bag of beautiful stones & shells for all sorts of art projects I received a vision for as I picked up each piece. As I took these photos I thought of you my friends & how nice it is to be able to share this beauty with you all. I have been getting a really nice amount of quality photos & sorting the best ones to load to my Facebook so that if you wish you may view them all while I am still here capturing & sharing! I am so thankful to have so many people to share with in this life for it is an amplification of awesomeness!
There was one small mishap today that could have been a disaster. We were on the dingy heading to a beech, as we got close the steerer turned the boat to the side as a wave came. I had my very nice camera, extra lens & portable audio recorder on board. As the boat tipped I grabbed my camera & other electronics in Matrix time & raised them to the air. Just as the boat flipped they were saved. As my comrades tumbled out getting soaking wet & the boat filling with water I & my gear somehow were ok. I cant say I was scared for I wasn’t but on after thought man that could have been a very very hard blow to some very important & expensive items. I am thankful to have captured all the beauty & still have my capturing devices in working order.
I also recorded a few didj tunes with the sounds of the ocean today. I have not yet listened to them or edited them but am excited to do so when that time comes.
We may set sail today but are not yet sure. Only time shall tell & I am quite certain it will happen in perfect alignment either way.
Sailed overnight & are still at sail. Will be arriving within the half hour of our destination for the day of a grey whale mating & nurturing ground. It is a bit early for the epic action as it is high time Dec-Feb though I have a feeling I will see a whale or two.
So far I have seen at least two whales, 12 shooting stars, thousand dolphins, thousands & thousands of birds, 100 seals & 1 fish.
The overnight sail was a little rough as it meant being up all night plus the wind was not consistent so we had times of slow & choppy sail. However I did not get sick once & still feel fantastic! It sure is a wonderful contrast to feel so great after feeling so bad! Still not eating crazy food while in open sea, I now start every day with my favorite banana cream! It consists of a banana & a couple cups of water blended in a blender. It was the first thing I could handle after my sea sickness episode & am now in love with it more than ever!
It has been a beautiful sunny day today with not great wind but enough to keep us moving at a decent pace, even I am sunned out for now, though in a couple weeks I will be in Sun God form once again.
Feasting At Sea
We just got done with a mighty feast of fresh real tuna salad from the catch of the day, roasted on a grill over hanging the boat! was a cool sight. Also I prepped up some Uber Dank yam specials locking in my nickname of “Yam Specialist” ;-)> 1st dish was curry yam stir-fry with coconut milk, peanuts, raisins, sautéed unions & the perfect seasonings. 2nd up was a yam pie for desert! MMMm MMM Mmmmm
We are in process of pulling into our anchor area, doing dishes & writing up this update! Hopefully I will be able to post this soon & upload a couple hundred awesome pics hehe ;-)>
Quotes of the day “ Bring in the Yam Specialist” “Bring out the first mates salt lick” “Salt Lick Reporting” “I am the king” “6 foot 4, 88lbs in the blue corner” “Floppy Donkey”
Out to deck to get in on the action. <3 <3 <3 <3
Arrived Punta Abreojos “open eyes” around dark. Played cards edited amazing photos ate yam pie, played music, talked. Laughed, enjoyed. Now I am we are very tired at the early hour of 8. long day & night. Feeling spent yet fulfilled. Blessed Be.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh Life is so GOOOOOOOOD!!!
Lying on the deck of the boat after a ½ mile swim back to the sail boat from shore. Soaking up the warm sun as I dry off & relax to the feeling of the cool breeze & the gentle rock of the boat! WOW
Punta Abreojos is a fantastic spot. We are here too early for the whales unfortunately, however it is a beautiful, peaceful happy town. Walked the whole of it today, got a lot more fantastic picture opportunities. This seems to be Ospray heaven as they are making nests all over town. On top of phone poles seems to be the most common spot as there are hardly any trees. They are building their nests & I was even able to get some pics of the process in action! It seems that they nest in pairs as I saw two in nests multiple times as they work in shifts. One flies off to get food/materials then comes back & the other leaves so on & son on. They are like the bald eagle of Mexico.
Best Day Ever…Again!
WOW today has been the best photography day yet! I got so many just WOW INSPIRING photos! I have been going through em for a while now & am still just loving it blown away by the beauty! AHHH YES
Feeling tired yet fulfilled with a long day of sun exercise & fun. Sitting round the ship table sharing stories, & winding down.
Setting sail again tomorrow morning as we are feeling now. Will be about a two day sail to our next spot down the coast. Second to last spot on the Baja Peninsula. May we be blessed with steady wind & good cheer.
Just got some info from a book the captain is reading about Einstein. After he figured the formula e=mc2 he was turned down for 3 jobs because it was not yet in the club of reputable scientists. He continued to go about his lowly job of patient clerk 3rd degree until finally his work was realized as greatness.
One of his quots is great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Feeling healthy, relaxed, tan & creative. So much to be thankful for <3 =D>
Quotes of the day “Modelorama” “langosta” “2nd mate octi” “3 hook sausage” “digging deep into the yam sack”
YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is what a Texan sailor sounds like riding strong steady winds all day! We set sail less than 24 hours ago & have already traveled 150 miles. We were cruising at about 7 knots most of the day & even reaching 8.5 quite a few times along the way. Its so nice to sail with such winds. Not only is It smooth, easy & fun but its about twice as fast a trip.
I got up yesterday at dawn to capture as beautiful a sunset as I have seen. Spent the day sailing perfect winds, laying in bright beautiful sun & feasted on fresh, harvested Tuna Sushi. We had an epic feast while watching a classic trade wind sunset of bright colors & clouds, sitting out on the deck of the boat enjoying the many many pleasures of life. The feast consisted of the just caught Tuna I reeled in an hour before. We made spicy tuna rolls, endame rolls & Tuna Sashimi slices. Probably a $120+ meal almost for free!
Then proceeded to sail all night to perfect winds & bright starry sky. I laid under them in gratitude for the enhanced connection to source it provided playing with inspiration after inspiration. Taking in the milky way in perfect clarity as shooting stars fly by. AHHHhhhh YES!
Arrived at another anchor point this morning, yet another gorgeous place. This one is particularly interesting for the local people number under 100 & all their dwellings are in quite unique places. I am so glad I have pictures of this so that I save myself a few thousand words of description ;-)>. I would say it’s a great idea while reading this to be looking at the pictures I post on FB so as to get a pictorial storey as I write =D>.
We came upon a few of them on shore skinning about 6 sharks. I have a feeling they eat almost all sea food & probably some bulk corn or beans that they buy every few months. There are no roads or any sort of town near by. I am quite sure they eat almost no fresh fruit or vegetables as they had no gardens & nothing of any kind grew wild around them.
This place was also very unique as there were lots of tall green mountain peaks right on the water unlike anything else we have seen yet, sorta reminded me of Scotland. I took a hike up this mountain & as I walked I found these little magic stones here & there. As I found each one I was guided further up the mountain. After a few hours of hiking I found the birth place of this magic stone of the land & was guided to collect a supply of them! I love them & what they had to share with me. What they shared with me is that life is simple, nature provides very abundantly, let go & enjoy the process, beauty & all there is to experience. Or as they say in Fiji “Fiji Time Man, Fiji Time”
I so enjoy being at another beautiful location each day. Waking up to the gorgeous sea sun rise, fresh air, energizing sun & vast beautiful landscapes. Settling down at the end of the day to an amazing sun set, tasty prepped meal, friends, & good cheer. Then falling asleep to the milky way & all its starry friends. FANTASTICO!
We are now back on the boat after capturing another sun set prepping tonight’s feast, looking like garlic beans & rice with fresh Tuna Sashimi on the side, probably eaten together. Enjoying the process, letting go, letting go & embracing the infinite abundance & possibility of now.

Quotes of the day. “Get In The Girdle Sea Cow” “Make Me Some Milk” “Let me at the wheel with my wrench” “I’m a hamster at a cannon”
Set sail again today in a bit of a drizzle. We have a nice steady breeze carrying us on a smooth course to our next spot. Tis another beautiful day at sea. Had the pleasure of observing a school of dolphins swim along us jumping & playing to the speed of our boat. They like to stay as close to the boat as they can weaving back & fourth right in front of the bow. Just a bit after they arrived the sun came out the waters lightened then they left & it’s a bit drizzly again.
Cruising!
Cruising at a record 9.7 knots! Another nice smooth day at the ocean view office ;-)> the sail is so smooth that it feels almost like being at anchor. How sweet to travel at this speed so smoothly. Im writing, the captain is making granola & the young’s are playing toons on the guitar and harmonica.
The sun has set & it was another beautiful one. The Milky Way is huge tonight stretching from the horizon all the way past the middle of the sky. We just finished a new yap special under the stars & strong winds. Our captain says we are spoiled I say “Im not spoiled, I just have high standards of normalcy” =D> I quite like that. For in the light of comparison & perspective this is quite a contrast indeed.
The Yam Special of the night was yams & sautéed onions cooked till soft. Then when about done coconut milk, spices (curry, red pepper flakes, cayenne, cumin, salt, black pepper) then after taken off the burner add dried banana chips, peanuts, & resins. Also prepared a coconut butter garlic tuna that we just put on the top but was a great side on its own for this dish. Tuna, butter, coconut milk, chipotle powder, salt & cumin.
Now I am going to take a lil nap before my 4 hour shift starts in 1.5 hours. May we be blessed with steady winds & calm seas.
Quots of the day “Im not spoiled, I just have high standards of normalcy” “Just throw in an extra bottle of tangaray hahahah”
I sit here swaying back and forth as I write on board the sail boat in anchor in Cabo Bay. It is quite a wavy night & I am in appreciation for the constant reminder of the sea to let go & go with the flow. It is so present & powerful in this.
Feeling very tired as a long night of sailing & full day of fun in the sun has brought me to a place of desire for deep rest.
Cabo Madness
Coming into Cabo was hilarious. We have been going down the coast stopping at beautiful nature spots where there are far more birds than humans, where the town are small & desolate. We just came from a town of under 100 people where they skinned shark on the beach. We turn around the big rock & BAM! It’s a circus here at Cabo. Thousands of people, hundreds of boats zinging around. Cruise ships, jet skis, huge hotels and more huge hotels. Beach restaurants & bars, para sailing vessels tourists and partiers everywhere, banana boat rides & more. It was mind blowing!
We anchored after cruising around the bay taking in the mayhem. Then anchored & swam to shore. It took over an hour to get out of the compound of hotels, restaurants, bars & shops. It was sorta like Vegas in the sense that all these buildings/attractions are built to provide entertainment, pleasure so that you don’t leave & spend money. They a whole mall type place that just wound around with underground levels, above ground levels, bridges, lil streams & ponds. It was really cool to take in, in contrast to the rest of this journey but became pretty nasty after a couple hours. So much cement, concrete all designed to take money. So unsustainable & promoting of these blow out vacations once a year. While walking down the beech we passed a beach bar where there were a couple on a table taking turns smacking each other for free drinks & the entertainment of the crowd. It was quite a spectacle indeed.
What a beautiful location though. Nestled in a perfect bay with blue clear waters making it able to see 40+ feet down even without a mask underwater. The water was warm, the beaches smooth & white. The rock faces surrounding the area were amazing as well. High jagged peaks with crashing waves against them. Beautiful sunny warm weather with a constant cool breeze. I can see why this location has built up so fast. From what I hear 20 years ago it was just a beautiful lil sea town & these tens of HUGE hotels have all been built since then. We are here during a slow time weekday. I can only imagine how amazingly crazy it is during spring break! I almost want to come for a day just to experience the overwhelming energy of it.
After dark we walked back the beach & swam back to the boat. We hung out here for a bit of today, sunning, swimming & utilizing the WIFI on board! Now dinner has been cleaned up after being eaten after being prepped after being baught at market in town today. It was an uber dank fresh burrito night with tortillas made this afternoon at the tortillorila.
We set sail shortly after. The night was really rough. We were sailing up wind into the wind. Which back in the days of Columbus would have been an ability highly coveted amongst the most powerful of nations. Due to new materials of high strength and light weight it is now possible to sail quite fast even into the wind. However it was not to enjoyable. It felt like in the movies being out in the middle of the ocean on rough seas, being tossed around like a piece of dust in the wind. There were times where the boat would leave the water & slam down back on the water sounding like a grenade. Or other times where we would have some speed going & then smash head into a wave jolting the whole boat like pulling the tug cord on your parachute while skydiving. The day today was a bit better, lots of bright, clear hot sun for laying in while we sailed. Im on my sailing rations of banana cream & soaked almonds. Raw foods & not much of it are defiantly the way to go out at sea for me. Heavey foods that take a while to digest just lead to nausea in the night.
We arrived in bay of the dead just before dark. We are anchoring here tonight to get some rest as we are all very tired. It’s a very undeveloped bay, nice, quiet & peaceful. We have learned that there is a developer lobbying to get the named changed to Bay Of Dreams hhahahahahahahahha Im guessing he wants that name before he turns it into the next Cabo. He probably doesn’t feel quite as confident about marketing Bay Of the Dead hahahahahhah. Hopefully his lobbying does not work for this quaint cove will soon be a gas guzzling concrete haven.
While sailing I have spent a lot of time laying out under the stars. So bright & beautiful, really bringing home the awareness of the vastness & eternalness of life. There will always be enough, this world is based on an abundant principle. I love to have the night sky to share this with.
The other thing about sailing that is so apparent is the letting go of control. For as we sail if there is no wind or very little wind it doesn’t matter what you do with the sails, you still go slow or not at all. The ebb & flow of nature is so apparent. Highs & lows, gusts and lulls, sun & clouds back & fourth. The world that so many of us live in is such a controlled manipulated environment. Controlled temperatures, roads that are almost always drivable, cars that can always go the speed desired, re fueling stations so as not to rely on the elements, almost every aspect is under a highly controlled manipulated circumstances. This is all nither bad nor good. It just is as it is. Something worth being aware though & I appreciate the very distinct clarity being presented of this on this journey. Though it is something I am aware of it has been a few years since I was really in such an obvious situation that presented this contrast.
Lapaz & More
Great night sleep last night & smooth sunny sailing so far today. When its good its REALLY good ;-)> Feel great after some quality raw super foods last night with a solid rest. Had my banana cream again today due to the stock up on bananas in Cabo. Been laying in the sun most of the day with some here & there tending of the sails. It’s a really beautiful coast here with lots of small mountains scattered with green brush & white sandy beaches. Every single spot looks like a prime spot for a land excursion. Just taking in the beauty, appreciating it & sailing on. We are shooting to be in Lapaz by sun down tonight.
Made our destination of Lapaz by sundown with another day of fantastic sailing. You know your in Lapaz when you see oil tankers, factories & hotels. Not my ideal anchor but will stock up on supplies, probably enjoy some local restaurants & take a couple day port. Our port spot was number 413 & as we pulled in the boat next to us was Prominade from Seattle Washington! That is the same origin of this boat & crew besides me of course! AHHHh the chances of pulling into Lapaz mexico next to a Seattle WA sail boat. DIVINE! Plus we are right across from a boat from St Louis MO which is where I was born! BAM! ;-)> We just got done washing down the hole boat with brushes & soap. Its all nice & clean. I will be taking advantage of some internet access here shortly to post some awesome pics of Facebook & post this blog.
Went for a walk around town. Not to touristy which is nice. Had a good dinner at a restaurant & came back to the boat for tea & cards. Now I am utilizing some internet time & starting to feel tired. 11pm is late for this dawn crew!
Quotes of the day “gum filled with sprite” “the glory days of car wash” “Bronzing Specialist by day, Yam Specialist by night.”

Feels Like Home
Wow while I rested the sun went around the world! On top of that it is back again leaving streaks of color throughout the sky creating a painting for me to appreciate on this morning!!! What a WONDER-Full world this is, so much appreciation for the dimensions of experience to play in, blessed be.
The past two days have been filled with fun of the city life after being at sea for weeks. Exploring the whole town has been done, by walking miles & miles exploring what Lapaz has to offer. After these last couple days of playing in town it now feels familiar & kinda like home. I love that about walking the cities all day because it really brings awareness to the whole area. We found the best Vitals Market & stocked up for the sea ahead while also enjoying some special treats that have not been had in quite some time. Got lots of fresh fruit, cut it up & froze it in bags in the freezer for smoothies to come at sea. We got a large thing of ice cream for last night’s birthday feast for the Captain & pretty much crushed it ;-)>
Spent a day repairing & cleaning the boat at dock, did all the laundry aboard the ship, took some long warm showers & enjoyed not waking up in the middle of the night to take the helm through the waves. We found a sweet little restaurant on the outskirts of town that just had a palm frawn roof & a sand floor, the only one in this town as it is in a city of concrete & not on the beach. Really friendly homey feel, with really quality food at a great price. They had large party sized bottles of cervesa that came in their own lil bucket of ice, large freshly cooked portions of food that tasted home cooked with quality. Was a nice spot to enjoy & contribute to.
I took hundreds of fantastic photos of the town on the many hours & miles spent exploring the town. Its so amazing my ability to microscope little vortexes of beauty & capture it in an amplified radiant way. So nice to experience & share. It seems that everywhere I go just gets more beautiful & the pictures more fantastic!
There was a fiesta day here in town yesterday which really brought the town to life, lots of music, street vendors, food & action going on all over town, even some fireworks & lots of excess noise. The feast for El Capitans birthday last night was fantastic. I made some Uber Dank potato skins fried in a skillet with onions, topped with cheese, chipotle sauce, salt, pepper, jalapenos, then put to broil, then topped, with avocado, onions, & sour cream. Also my favorite beat salad of roasted beats, goat cheese, garlic, & mint with a touch of salt, pepper & maple syrup! Then his favorite cake & lots of ice cream! Also some home brewed bear from a friend in the states & lots of good cheer.
I love how the air is always fresh on the ocean & the atmosphere completely dictated by the power of the ocean. Its been drizzling while I fall to sleep each night, a very soft pitter patter on the boat roof, playing to me as I relax into the night.
I found a little chunk of beech in town last night while waiting for a bus that had a bunch of little sea shells completely & perfectly formed but the size of a pin head. Will capitalize on that again at some point! Treasures await discovery!
I love how the universe provides me with abundance, treasures & surprises every where I go making it feel like the whole world is my Garden Of Eden. I love how every photo I take is from a place of love, creativity, inspiration & completely fulfilling yet it is for others enhancement that it is done. The perfection of being in alignment with experience is so so so perfect I just breathe deep & thank all that is.
Sitting here eating a bowl of chocolate cake with ice cream & a cup of coffee editing photos & writing before we head out to sea again. Probably some gorgeous beach islands today or tomorrow or whatever we come upon on the way!
All in all I have enjoyed Lapaz. Its not to huge & dirty but has lots of the big city benefits. The people seem generally pretty content & well off plus its not very touristy. Im ready to be back out in nature though in the sun, fresh breeze, finding treasures, exploring beaches & taking in the sights of the land before me.
Ship is secure, all is in order, last internet transactions have been made. Trading the city amenities for open water, nature, beaches, & all the sea has to offer.
Bon Voyage Blessings!

Paradise
Left the harbor of Lapaz in late afternoon for our shortest sail of the trip so far! A 6 knot sail that took about two hours at about 6 knots per hour with tacking (diagonal cuts across the water back & fourth when traveling into the wind, takes a lot longer but being able to sail into the wind at all is pretty cool) We arrived at a just over the top mind glowingly gorgeous cove. There multiple white sand beaches, mountains with oranges, greens, reds cactus & beautifully contrasting rocks. The water is multiple shades of blue & green. Its just crazy amazing. Luckily I took about 400 photos of this area ;-)> which I will post at some point.
We got here just in time to cook the fish we caught on the way here on the grill with the sunset in the background (a photo opp I planned ;-)> ) the sunset was yet again as beautiful a sight as I have seen. We made fresh fish tacos mine were with raw fish. The tacos were as good as tacos get with freshly made corn tortillas from the tortillaria that day, a chipotle coleslaw & the freshest of fresh fish harvested, cleaned and prepped myself. Not exactly sure of the type of fish this one was but it was a white meat that is super duper buttery. I also tanned the skin into fish skin leather! I love it & am excited to do some more of it as the adventure continues.
We went to bed quite early maybe 8:30 to calm waters & starry skies. That night I had the most profound dreamtime I have ever had. I was in communion with the waves & they spoke to me as clearly & powerfully as any god, drug or spirit I have yet communed with. I awoke & the boat was rocking heavily back & fourth to the influence of the waves. I went back to dream time & for the rest of the night was in journey with the wave consciousness. I was blown away by the pure power of the experience. It reminded me so much of my experience with Ayuosca. I do not wish to describe the details of this dreamtime though I do wish to affirm yet again ITS ALL OK! Life force is eternal forgiveness, love, acceptance, embrace & harmony. I am still moved & humbled by the experience just sitting here in awe of the vast eternal pure potential of source. The specific awareness that was most present for me was the Flow, the separation of moments experienced in fluidity from now presence. There is no need to know what will happen, how it will happen or when it will happen. To be present now, now now now now now now into eternity each a moment of its own now but through such presence a divine flow & grace is realized. It is like watching a beautiful dancer. Each movement requires the muscles to work in a Different way but it’s the fluidity of transition of the whole dance that makes each movement so beautiful. Or a martial artist doing a routine of many moves. Each strike a movement of its own for its specific purpose yet a beautiful art form is realized when Flowing many consecutive movements together. It is not so much about remembering what movement to do when but the presence that is realized in that flow. The more presence of now is realized the more beautiful & flowy the performance shall be. The less present with the now the more choppy, scattered, broken etc the performance shall be. Any thought, doubt, question or loss of track during such a sequence will show up in the movements. Whereas when one is fully present with the now movement just Flows forth through the body From a place of Connection.
Life can be like a dance of connection. A continues flow of events, words, actions, feelings, experiences, adventures or whatever comes through the flow of connection. When we plan our lives, are attached to outcomes & process of the dance we are not present enough to really flow it from a place of now. Instead of an inspired art it becomes a pattern, a formula, a system that becomes easily thrown off by the intricacies that life presents.
To me this is where life becomes extraordinarily empowered, magical, & limitless. Exciting & fulfilling now because of what is being achieved but because of being in connection with Pure Life Force. In the now all is perfect, aligned & in harmony. Each moment provides entertainment, fulfillment, joy & love of life. The opportunity that comes from this place is so abundant that I am Almost overwhelmed with possibility.
Today was a glorious day of play! Took the dingy to the various white sand beaches where I took some of the most amazing photos of bugs I have ever had the pleasure of. I have not yet looked at them but I have no doubt that I will be just speechless with their glory.
Lots of sun, swimming & treasure collecting. I found some really nice shells; saw a blow fish & many schools of little colorful cuties. Came back to the boat for a late lunch of a raw apple pie shake, a nap & then off to hike the tallest mountain in the area. It is always amazing how different the hike is than it appears it will be from afar! This hike turned out to be the 2nd most challenging barefoot hike of this body’s life, lots of sharp jagged loose rock & thousands of beautiful little cactuses growing out of the rock all over the place. I did make it to the top of the peak where I got some great photos of a vulture hawk that I was able to climb above where they fly. I got up there for the sunset, used my camera timer to take a couple photos of myself then started the hike back down. I have always much preferred the hike up over the hike down but especially so on this occasion! How do you avoid thousands of little cactuses growing out of the rocks barefoot at night? Prey & allow the grace of the universe to manifest a solution! I was over joyed to be in allowance, for I found a small channel that water would flow down in the rarity of rain. My body mind & especially feet were indeed stretched though I made it down without any major discomfort & even avoided an unenjoyable interaction with the rattlesnake that let me know where he was on the way down *brow wipe*
Came back to the boat to freshly baked boat bread & a couple days of left over’s to feast on in quiet relaxation! WOW what a day, feeling so fulfilled & enjoying the recount here as the boat crew sleeps. Feeling the call to deep rest my self. Appreciating all that life has to continuously offer I shall lie down, breath deep & embrace dream time.
Awakening to another clear beautiful sunny morning, with a slight fresh breeze & a gentle rock from the waves. I love how the landscape changes so much as the sun hits it in different spots & different levels of intensity. This has been such a key to the evolution of my photography. For the exact same spot looks completely different in a photograph multiple times a day based on how the light is reflecting of that particular spot. At one time of day from one angle a beautiful spot can look bland, colorless & washed out, then from a different angle at a different time can be so full & radiant in color that it seems unreal in spectacularness. The angles & light are of the utmost importance in an uber gorgeous photo.
Last nights dream time was in complete contrast to the flow. I was taken on a journey of experiences of doubt, limitation, worry, lack, drama, & separation. Being unsure is such a common ailment, that does not exist in the now flow. For in the present there only is. There has to be ideas of the future, expectation & such for unsureness to exist. It Is so much more peaceful & fulfilling to embrace now for now, appreciating & enjoying what now has to offer just because it feels good. There is place for dreaming, vision, & goals though I feel letting go to attachment of them is very key an existence in the flow. To dream in the now for the sake of dreaming, to have goals now for the sake of motivation, to have vision now for the sake of inspiration but to then let go & be ok with what comes, with what is felt, with what is inspired in the now moments to come. It really is just silly to stress, exhaust, try or worry about an outcome or achievement of a specific future. It is of course OK to do this if that is important in ones process now though from this perspective it is silly indeed. For it is all ok, it is all part of it, whatever we feel we need to do now is what we feel we need to do now. Take stock, breath, consider & ask, why, for what, does this now really feel good?
We are going to sail again today to an island not to far away. Feeling complete in this area & ready to experience another paradise.
Another day at the ocean view office, pulling ropes, changing sails, giving the captain a message, catching fish, turning wheels this way & that. Bronzing has become a prime job at the office taking many hours of each day ;-)> We are now at the island getting ready for a dingy excursion. What treasures shall I find today?!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Great beach excursion, collecting some beautiful treasures formed by the sea all unique masterpieces in their own. I so love collecting earths magnificent beauty abundantly provided. Its so cool how each beach seems to have its specialty. A certain shell or certain variety of shell, coral or whatever it is. Each beach seems to have 1 type of treasure that I love & I get to scavenge the beach looking for those specialties.
Quite a few more photo opps today though not nearly as many as yesterday. Some really dramatically epic shore lines & mountain sides here. With the setting sun the contrast was spectacular & I captured some of it to share, so thankful for the opportunity. Came back to the boat took a shower & started prep of another sunset feast on deck with a refreshing breeze & some rocking tunes. On the menu tonight was burrito buffet. Chipotle hash browns, black bean & scrambled eggs, fresh salsa, avocado, yellow bell pepper, sour cream & cabbage as lettuce. Feeling full & content as I write here in appreciation of the days bounty, pleasure & expansion. I am excited to look through today’s photos, relax & enjoy.
Last night was an amazing night on the water. The water was so still it felt as if the boat were on concrete. The water was like glass reflecting the stars and moon in crystal clarity. Every fish, bird & insect could be heard from great distance. It felt like a dream world where every aspect was enhanced & surreal as in a fairy tale. Normally the ocean is so overpowering with movement & noice that most other aspects are muted or completely drowned out by it. This was the first for me on this trip & it really blew me away. It is one of those epic moments that stand out with so much feeling that it holds this experience in my DNA for many moments to come. Its one of those moments that I just want to be able to share with everyone in the world & I feel as if I will burst from the energy of it. Or maybe only I can experience that particular moment is such great intensity just for me.
Nice leisurely sail back to Lapaz today where we docked in the harbor & I will depart in the morning back to the states via a very fast airplane. It is so funny to think that I have spent the last month sailing the seas & all that comes with it & in just a few hours I will travel further than all this time put together & be in a completely different reality based on a whole new set of principles. I do appreciate change, contrast & relativity though it is still quite a trip to fathom it all.
Have gotten so much sun on the last couple weeks of the trip. I so love the sun, its warming intencity bringing light & focus to its subjects. I feel about as tan as I have been in this body & quite love it. Was getting to the point to where I could spend 8 hours in the direct sun light without any form of protection & feel fine. I love how my body evolved to climates & living situations. My embrace of the moment & reality I am in makes it very easy to evolve to the situation when combined with communion with my body. I also love the medicinal effects of salt water. I felt it was quite healthy for my hair, loved brushing & washing my mouth with it & also a great use as a dish cleaner.
As the origin of this boat was Seattle WA, it is quite funny to think of the endless grey that my cousin goes back to on his return. Wet & almost always overcast this time of year. Quite a contrast indeed. I am already feeling a little sun withdrawals as it’s a bit cloudy today & I am in the airport not receiving any direct sun yet this day! Yet another opportunity to surrender & embrace my environment as it presents itself.
Enjoyed this last day yet again. More beautiful scenes to appreciate and translate through my photography which is becoming quite an amazing experience indeed. I feel as though my camera is a part of me now & everything that I see is scene so that all the beauty is amplified into a single frame of wonder & awe. I bring it everywhere with me feeling a part is missing without it. EXCITING!!!
Went to a dock party tonight on our pier. Sorta like a block party but instead of all the houses on the block getting together for food drink & conversation its all the boats on the dock bringing various appitizers, drinks & such to exchange, get to know & share with each other. Its quite a cook experience because there Is so much reality to be gleamed. So many people from many parts of the world some of whom have been sailing around the world for years, some of whom do only so for parts of the year & some who are just getting started. With all the variation there is still a very strong connection & that is through sailing. The community is very strong & supportive of each other. Lots of fishing, hot spot, weather, location, experience information sharing going on. Its nice to know there is this strong community of people living a life outdoors, out of the office, in the elements traveling as they please. Quite a range of folks from multi millionaires who drive huge motor boats that suck 80 plus gallons an hour of diesel to run & sailors who live out of their boat spending very little at all. Its hard to fathom someone boating around at 80 gallons an hour in fuel. That’s a few hundred dollars just to run the thing per hour not to mention that crazy amount of resources it uses.
There was plenty of food, lots of people excited to share in the adventures of past & more. Its pretty interesting to see how its so common for these people to rise at dawn & go to bed shortly after dark. The party was very lively with alcohol & conversation but by 7 everyone was gone! Hahaha back to their boats for a good nights sleep & another day of fun in the sun.
I love being in environments where people have common passions & loves. Its so nice to be in environments where people are connected, supportive & aware of each other. Its amazing in daily life how many people we pass without any sort of greeting or even acknowledgement. Think of all the people in traffic or walking down the street at lunch break. It all is what it is but its quite a contrast indeed. I have really appreciated community for quite some time now this is just another example of another strong community. What’s really interesting about this one is that they are also so so independent. For they all have their own boats, all are on their own schedule, & will eventually all set sail on their own again at some point. It seems like a lot of people making friends for their dock stays of a few weeks or months then on their way again. It’s an interesting balance of community & independence. Both are important in life & I appreciate them both equally.
Feeling complete for now, knowing that a nice summery of the journey is yet to come. Take rest on this night before a day of flying & airport containment. Breath in, Breath out, go with the flow.
Sitting at the airport observing the very contrasting reality of the airport life & life of nature. So few colors, contrasts, dimensions & beings of life. I scan the room for snapshots of beauty that I might capture with my camera & don’t find anything that calls or inspires me to shoot. Being in a close relationship with nature is so important for me. That is defiantly one of the most enjoyable aspects of living on a sail boat. The ocean & life from it is so untamed, molded, conformed, manipulated by man.
Contemplating the trip as a whole there is so much that I appreciate about this experience. So much about the life that I really enjoy & feel in alignment with. I do not feel that I am ready at this time to peruse the life of a sailor. Feeling complete with the experience, enhanced & evolved from it. So thankful for all the beauty that I shared in & the treasures that I found. I absolutely love the Sea Of Cortez & am already planning an adventure here within the coming year.
AHHH it is 11:11 my favorite time & yet another way to take deep appreciation for the synchronicity of the universe 7 the eternal abundance that exists! I am so thankful for the stream of opportunity that present them self’s to me & this one has been one of those. Another epic adventure or exploration of a very extreme part of the world holding space for many realities specifically existing there. There is so so much beauty to experience & explore I move in the flow from this one to another.
The power & vastness of the ocean is a great reminder of humility & surrender. Of how much force there is within the flow & that by riding that flow more energy than is needed or desired is available. I love how easy yet abundant life in the flow is.
Sitting in my 2nd airport of the day here in Guadalajara. I defiantly prefer the Mexican flight services, so relaxed & low key in comparison to international or American flights.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSS I am back in the states & CNN is blaring. The last half hour they have been talking about how two people got into a dinner with the president & were not on the guest list! The same pictures & thing being said over and over and over. This is the most uncomfortable I have been since being sea sick ;-)> hahahahahahahhaah Breath in Breath out I have the choice to focus on any aspect of life that I choose. Meditation for the win!
Had a nice run through the airport with a backpack full of rocks from my treasure hunting. Nice & sweaty just making it to my gate in time to get on & find out my flight is delayed for an hour and a half hahahhaaahhahaha geez guess il sit here & not listen to CNN & commercials for an hour hahahahahahahah ahhhhhhhhhh life what a crazy RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arrived home.
I am so grateful to be able to experience such great adventure, beauty & expansion while also being so happy to be home. To have a place that is just to fantastic that I want to come back from such travels, trips, & experiences just to be here. Everything at a peaceful pace, in awareness from inspiration based on what is important & feels good to be right now!
Excited about the huge yam harvest awaiting me here. The greenhouse, shed, cob stove are projects that I am inspired to play with now that back. I am also very stoked to get my photo offerings up & available. Working on getting some prints made of my most epic photos of the trip, also making available a post card collection. I am very inspired by the reality of putting together the visual sound medicine, a compilation of pictures of indescribable beauty, put to activating/enhancing sounds of the ocean, rain, didgeridoo, Tibetan bowls, & other upgrading frequencies. Then making 5-10 minute slide shows to provide an experience of expansion, fulfillment & inspiration in highly potent sessions.
Enjoyed a crafting, cloths making session yesterday afternoon & night by the fire accompanied by wine, cheese/fruit plate, music, friends. Came out with some awesome creations & so much enjoyment. Going through, sorting, pricing & making available the new clothing for our boutique tonight! Some really special quality pieces that are just for the perfect person. I love the wide range yet unique style so many of the clothes have here. What fun! Will post some pics of the choice ones on my Facebook boutique photo album.
So present now with here, had the opportunity to share some stories with others since I have been back. It is fun to remember the experience & re experience it after process. There were so many WOW/OMG moments on the trip where it was just like ………………………………………………………….What can possibly be said for this moment. Words or even the need for definition or conversation about such pure undefinable experience. Such vast, extreme beauty. So many powerfully potent moments & epic experiences. So many photo opps where I would just be ogling over the scene like uber dank food after a many day fast. The gratefulness I feel for being able to experience them as they awaken, enhance & expand my existence as I know it. Feeling I may make a picture voice edited story of the adventure.
Sailing out to see and back again, glad I still have Beyond ;-)>
Infinite gratitude, unlimited inspiration, eternal change, NOW
