The Board Shorts Gave Us The Edge This private island in the Bahamas, is a Disney Cruise Line port of call. In answer to the question: "When Is The Copy Better Than The Original?" This would be it. The sand has been sifted to a fine white powder. The mosquitoes  are nowhere to be found. The water is crystal clear and turquoise blue. Paradise found. Escape TO reality. I am not talking about staged authenticity, like my visit to Papette Tahiti. Most designers spend their time creating shopping malls. Re-creating the island paradise, however, is admirable. Once used as a stop for drug smugglers.Think “Snow White” or “White Snow” . There is an airstrip on the island, but it is no longer in regular use nor maintained (I shot some video on July 4,2012, a previous visit) .It's unusual isolation becomes, in its own way, a paradise-somewhere in the Bahamas. It is not Gilligan's Island but it has also been used for filming; the beach where Tom Hanks first encounter...

The sum of my  problems is the inability to sit quietly alone in a deck chair on a ship!

Nothing Is The Hardest Thing To Do. No massive massive 110 day world cruise  emotional and sensory overload---just the repetitive itineraries of The Caribbean Blue Life In Time WYSIWYG-What you see is what you get- I do not create the Caribbean blue ocean, the white powder sandy beaches.

Grand Cayman · Fifty Shades of Blue Tour Grand Cayman Always Delivers Partly cloudy with a chance of paradise. Clear water, red snapper, helicopter rotors, offshore mythology—and another island that looked simple until you stayed awake inside it. Caribbean Return Paradise Weather Red Snapper Stingray Archive Sunny Place / Shady Stories See Full Image Show Story Grand Cayman, like the postman, always delivers. The package changes. The address does not: fifty shades of blue, a little theater, and one more reason to distrust a postcard. The island arrived first as color. Water, sky, shallows and distance kept rearranging the same blue until the eye gave up trying to name it. Paradise was easy to photograph. The harder work was seeing what else had been delivered.

I didn't invent the hypothetical situation, but let's just suppose for a second that I did, that I was sailing on  a ship, and had an "existential" moment, a little flash of sunlight on a cobalt blue sea.  Nothing really happens in the past, Everything that’s ever happened /for/to me happened in the present moment. That’s all there ever is. So my relationship to life isn’t my  relationship to my past, it’s my relationship to the present moment. Who would I be without my story (past)? If you don't have one, you don't have to live up to it. What's left then--Just Now. That's the value proposition of travel: It's a come as you are affair. "I have crossed the seas, I have left cities behind me, and I have followed the source of rivers towards their source or plunged into forests, always making for other cities. I have had women, I have fought with men; and I could never turn back any more than a record can spin in reverse. And all that was leading...
