MY LIFE, BASED ON A TRUE STORY is downright paranormal. How the hell did I get here? Whatever talent I possess(ed)  is on loan from some deity, some unimaginable source and force for some exquisite portion of  time, to be passed on when I am finished. The most extraordinary aspects of my being didn't come from me. The spark(s) of epiphanies that I occasionally get are less about being a genius  and more about having a genie---Making  Wishes. Showing Up. Being T/Here.Fear is for folks who don't get out very much. Outdoors Is In! "When you define me, you negate me'--so  let me tell my own idiosyncratic story. My autobiography gives dignity and meaning to me and the YOUniverse. Life's Change Agent When  I started  blogging about  my  own experiences at sea, and the blessings and  gifts of this unique life style, I  started to answer the question-What is the meaning of life? I Got One! Find Wh...

The tour lengths get shorter-14 Daze Panama Canal Crossing is done. California  was created to  provide a place for boats to visit. Out of sight of land the sailor feels safe. " Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.  " Herman Melville I can relate to that quote-Hospitality jobs are a safety net for the "middle classes"; jobs of last resort when the w2 salaried gigs are unavailable. Since they are so  low paying, people quit and there is high turn over.  I simply wanted to travel around the world. I wrote: Call it faith!  A passion for the possible. I am full of it, and shooting from the hip that is to say,   as I stated, having  an adventure  is something more but nothing less than bad planning.  When I cold-called for  my first ship job...

On a cruise ship, you have this malignant optimism. Optimism is the opium of the passenger.  There is no doubt about it, the exhilarating state of mind that travel can evoke, when everything seems suddenly fresh, vivid, intensely interesting, and memorable-Things have a way of seeming emphasized and  underlined. The speed of trust---trusting in advance what can only makes sense in reverse October 2011, I wrote:   San Pedro-Hotel California Normally, you need three things to travel-Time, Money and Opportunity.

Putting the He in Hero, all action/adventure films have the same moral: Perseverance pays. Of all the things I am not very content at doing,living on land is the most outstanding. I was an armchair sea dog dreaming of going places, now, a  traveling sea dog dreaming of staying put. Dolphin Stampede Today Leaving a ritual and habit of ordinary living,  I embarked  on an unplanned trip and become an accidental sailor. You can teach an old DOGma new tricks. For reasons of necessity rather than a sense of innate wanderlust, I am at sea because it gives  me something to do and a place to be. Magnetized and full of charisma, I always managed to stay on course, without realizing it. 20,000 Leagues Into My Brain I'm beginning to think that maybe it's not just how much I love being at sea. Maybe what matters is who I am when I’m  doing it. I’m my best self.    Character is doing what’s right when no one is looking. All of ones problems c...

Chance favors the connected mind Nicaragua's analog eyes don’t see our digital world. But does it matter. Internet or InterNOT? Traveling in places with out  "switch"  in rural poverty  are not voyages of discovery, but rituals of reassurance-  I won the lottery!  It may be karaoke capitalism but I can still belt out a few notes from Bruce Springsteen hit song, "I was born in the USA" The Espresso Imperialist--- Waking  Up to the Smell of Class Struggle-never did get the Contra /Sandinista thing. I wish Ronald Reagan were alive to ‘splain it to me. Oh well (shrug),  I'll just move to the Internet, its great here. I  get to live inside where the weather is always awesome. Only on the Internet can a person be lonely and popular at the same time. TV was my  babysitter, but the Internet is a drunk librarian who won't shut up If you are over 30, please leave this blog.(I'm talking about the habit of aging-not the actual #) Hotel @nyware might...

An Embarrassment of Coconuts-   Coco Vita is tired, Costa Rican au natural is wired.   Loved by health  nuts and Hollywood royalty, coconut water is the "new" health drink. It's almost as good as a blood transfusion, It slows down ageing, smooths your skin; regulates blood pressur, blood sugar  and  cholesterol;  and it's good for digestive  health.  Every port of call, I make a habit of drinking some.  I'm up to 12 today. That;s right- T-W-E-L_V-E! It helps to speak Spanglish-- only $1 a piece instead of $5. (I'm on a liver/gallbladder detox) Coconut water  is the purest liquid on earth, second  only to H20.  It's anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory. This is one of those rare super foods. I am taking The Cure.  All Thai'd Up With Coconut's Magic Puts an Infinite Smile on my face   It is full of electrolytes, calcium and magnesium. An average size coconut has more...
