2011 World Cruise · Notes From the Working Side Trials Monotony Tinged with Hysteria Six months without weekdays, thirteen-hour shifts, impossible passenger questions and the strange immunity of being somewhere else. See Full Image Show Text Ordinary World The Call Answer the Call Foreign Land Trials The Elixir A change brought about by the sea: I had not known what day of the week it was for six months. Before that, the days of the week became countries. Let me slip into something more comfortable, like a comma. No—I am on a ship. Here are some of the other strange innuendos of meaning contained within cruise-club culture. Shipboard Baseline Hours off, not days off When ten hours counts as an easy day, the ca...

Milford Sound - The Eighth Wonder of the World Milford Sound: The Eighth Wonder of the World Here is the majestic beauty of New Zealand's most stunning fjord "Milford Sound is the eighth wonder of the world." — Rudyard Kipling "The vertical cliffs rise dramatically from the dark waters, creating nature's perfect cathedral in Milford Sound." "Mist-shrouded peaks reveal themselves momentarily, like ancient guardians of this sacred place." "Waterfalls cascade from impossible heights, born of rain and glacial melt that has carved this landscape for millennia." "The play of light and shadow transforms ...

The last time I was t/here was Nov 09 With only 6 months at sea THEN, it will be  interesting  to see, NOW, that I have my black belt in ships. Think Van Valen  We do a full X-ing from Cristabol to Panama City, and beyond. I shot this video before I was  Youtube fluent. Next Port Was Columbia  From Shakira whose hips don`t lie to the Calli Cartel, who make heads roll, wherever I go here I am. My first cup of JOEse in Cartagena and Juan Valdez rewards me with (3) $20 bills on the street, probably counterfeit! That`s right. I found sixty bucks. It looks like I am on The Divine Payroll again... Then I took a tour of the old city, and the castle and church standard stuff...

If you are what you eat then I am a flaky pastry— denouncing  the cult of permanence,  I have converted money back into time  and exchanged "potential" income for freedom to spend my time how I wish. I do it when I decid(ed) to live simply, working half the time, and freelancing.  To control your cow, give it a bigger pasture. On India's open road, in  Goa, I have  become more efficient by stopping to do things I no longer like to do. I’m not  worried  about what the world needs.  I ask what makes me come alive and do that.  Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.  We already have enough tourists  and zombie  options.  Fish are  the last to know they are  in the ocean, and people in a trance are the last to know.  When I feel l stuck in the grind and daily trivialities, I am in a trance. Stepping back, and getting spaciousness, allows me to see things from a more natural perspectiv...

Give me a wide berth. I am a loose cannon, three sheets to the wind. Anchors aweigh. There are three sorts of people: those who are alive, those who are dead, and those who are at sea. As long as I am on a ship, the future is full of possibilities. But if you want something great, you must also know how ...

I Need My Space We are headed for a sea day then the Florida Keys:  it's a celebration of  the good life and a bygone era. How Can I Help? Stories and Reflection on Service On Being Sane in Insane Places- The good voice, the life voice  doesn't  often speak to you when you have an all you can eat buffet and an open bar. Ships are the in to my sane. Everything changes however once you can be the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it. Simpatico energy is awesome! Working on a ship is the sandpaper of my inner life . It does its work of shaping me into a better person. On an 8 nights Bahamian Cruise A Tale of Two Ships I got the bolders out of the way, Now it's  working on the gravel. When you have a four-month contract 7 days a week 24 hours a day—on a ship, you can’t have a bad day. The  only easy day was yesterday. The boulders are the stupid questions like “Do these stairs go up” Do you eat t...
