I think (my first mistake-thinking) if I don't get my feet back in salty water, I'm dead. (maki ) I've
been on dry land far to long! My spiritual self is not being shared and can not survive out of life sustaining
water (salty) but another three months. I don't mind death! What I do mind is being alive with death. When I am sailing I am moving and responding to a living Ocean. When I am surfing I am one with a vibration or a ripple that is in motion. When I'm sitting on my butt I'm bored. I can only paddle my canoe so far!
A fart is only one's body speaking in tongues! Even silent it speaks in a language understood by whoever is in the room that has a nose! When it makes sound an ear hears a b flat or is it sharp? Actually what it is saying is, "It escapes me"! People need interpreters to understand tongues! I like the hawaiian word," Kukai"! Otherwise shi-shi on it! There has to be a boat going somewhere. PLEASE!!! Take me with you....I can sail butt I can't sit.........................
Surfing Kauai defined me! Sailing the South Seas measured me. Commercial fishing fed me. The U. S. Merchant Marine showed me! Diving everywhere I have traveled allowed me to become something more and yet something less than the bird pile/fish feeding frenzy I have witnessed. What is above meets what is below, a paradox! No-balance.
About Me
- Robbin
- Sacramento, California, United States
- so salty pieces of coral from surfing Hawaii in the 60's and 70's getting reef pounded living in my body fall through my skin from time to time!
sailing to Oahu
Jimi Hendrix was playing on Oahu. I had never sailed. Surfed Mexico, California, Hawaii! Aw, how hard could it be to sail 90-110 miles from Kauai to Oahu? Piece of cake, right? Remember it was the 60's! This is so bad. We thought we were looking at Kaiena Point,Ohau, knowing we weren't going to make the concert! But at least we were in site of Oahu-wrong! Coy, who had never sailed before, me,who had never sailed before, jeff and Abbott etc. We were looking at the sleeping giant on Kauai! We had done three-sixty's in the night! We sailed on the only tri-marran I've ever sailed on ( except later ) in my life, missed the concert! It was at the Waikiki Shell Ampitheater ( Moon eclipsed . We finally made Nawilwili Harbor! The Skipper tried to give us his boat saying, " It's trying to kill me"! We watched him go stark raving mad not even realising that had we got caught in the channel current we were on our way to Japan! Remember it was the 60's and we were going to see Hendrix. I left out some of the good stuff but I will make up for it later!
