Land Ho!

Posted on
I am standing on sand in Hawaii. I can’t believe that I just crossed the Pacific Ocean alone. It feels surreal. Is this me? Am I dreaming? How did I do that?  My last day and night at sea were the roughest. This is what it looked like…..:  9 A.M. I’m sailing through squall after...

Blue Fairytale

Posted on
I see two little white tropicbirds, with tail feathers longer than their bodies, flying somewhere towards a world of fish. One bird does not flap in front of the other. They are synchronized the way that lovers are. With minds, wings, and bodies intertwined in an exquisite romantic lunacy. The moon has grown small and...

A World Of Strange

Posted on
From within my cocoon at sea, I uncoil my body like a caterpillar. I am fattened by leaves and petals that promise a future of winged flights, still I crawl. I wonder what has really called me here, into both the substratum and surface of the spirit kingdom. The kingdom of: bubbles, waves, clouds, sharks,...

Neon Emeralds

Posted on
The sunsets lasts as long as the day and ricochet across every cloud in the sky. I see ancient Egyptian symbols in the world above me. From the pyramids to sphinxes and Pharaohs. The wind of the heavens molding them and morphing them and eventually carrying them away. Beneath it all, I am a crab...

The Carriers of Grey Clouds

Posted on
Yesterday I went through squall after squall. I call them The Grey Cloud Carriers. The Grey Cloud Carriers are cold-hearted ninjas. They creep in, kidnap the sun, eat every patch of blue in the sky, and then confuse the wind until it spins every which way to Sunday. They play games with me too. They...

A Day Without Wind

Posted on
Time flows in reverse. I watch waves collapse into themselves as they rush backwards. The sun is the moon and the clouds are all sinking. I can see that the sky is filled with rain, but it must be falling upwards. Nothing living is in sight. The air is too hot and heavy and stale...

The Nitty Gritty

Posted on
*This ones for Budder Wilson who is curious about safety gear, sail changes, sleep patterns, food, filming, etc. Before departing I met with a couple of people who had already sailed solo to Hawaii. One was my old dock neighbor Christian Williams, who has a great YouTube channel and several books about sailing. The other...

Wild Wild Blue

Posted on
I’m just out here zig-zagging my way around the high and trying to stay on the edge of what’s left of Henrietta. I move in long jibes to and fro. Day by day getting closer to my destination. My bird, Pluto, is back. This time on top of my bimini. He pokes his head down...
