From Doves To Tigers

Posted on
The day before I left Waimea Bay, the spinner dolphins fell from the heavens. They came right up to me and Juniper and   pirouetted out of the water. I swam with them, and we talked about the clouds, and played fetch with seashells. The dolphins told me that their favorite kind of clouds are the ones...

Sea Gypsy

Posted on
I’m a sea gypsy now. Living on the hook and harvesting rain. The sea is my sanctuary and I need nothing but air.  I shout to the wind, “Honey, I’m a seed and you are the wind, which way are we going today?”  I don’t really know where I’m going half the time. And many...

SAILING IN A SEA OF QUICKSAND

Posted on
I had been warned, but nothing could have truly prepared me for the sail from Kaua'i back to O'ahu The day after the forest, Sam and I snorkeled, climbed palm trees that grew sideways, and watched an endangered monk seal beach itself. Have you ever seen a wrasse? That species of fish is hard to...

Sailing to Kaua’i with a Stranger

Posted on
I was itching to sail away from Waikiki. So when all of the boat work was completed, I decided to sail over to Hanalei Bay in Kaua’i. Sailing between the Hawaiian islands can be hellacious. These islands are in the middle of the ocean and the water around them has that middle of nothing strength...

Waikiki

Posted on
The Waikiki harbor is both paradise and purgatory.  I suppose that is just the way the life is, contradictory opposites constantly colliding to achieve balance. Could you love the light had you not known the dark? If you had not gotten lost in the valley, would you have climbed that mountain? In the absence of...

Water of Pearl

Posted on
My mom flew back to Arkansas and it’s my first time living on the boat since arriving to Hawaii. My sea and land hallucinations have all subsided and life feels new but normal. The mind is such a delicate thing when alone at sea. Mine were mostly auditory hallucinations, except for the odd things happening...

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...

Floating On

Posted on
The full moon makes the sky a smokier version of day. It creates patches of reflections and shadows as the boat sways upon the waves. I just received comments from “Surfing The Deep Blue Sea” thanks to all who posted. Just wanted to clarify, I have already been at sea for 14 days and am...
