Sailing, cruising, poetry, and reflections. Monday, March 25, 2013. Sitting in the giants shadow. I am humbled by its walls and spires. I have lost my vanity. My spirit is naked in the giants shadow.

So we had coffee, remiinisced about our past 6 months together and then prepared to leave dear friends and a lovely town of Oriental.

The Salish Sea: January 2013
http://pobien41.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sailing, cruising, poetry, and reflections. Tuesday, January 15, 2013. Not going, not coming,. Rooted, deep and still,. Not reaching out, not reaching in,. Just resting, at the center. The single jewel, the flawless crystal drop,. In the blaze of its brilliance,. What does all of this mean in practical terms. We are both individually evaluating the issue do we keep the boat or sell it? Do we move back to Boulder where I can resume my Buddhist practice? Wednesday, January 2, 2013. The Importance of Access.

The Salish Sea: October 2012
http://pobien41.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sailing, cruising, poetry, and reflections. Friday, October 26, 2012. Home and wet, coffee was delicious. As we engage in the planning process of going south for the winter/spring there are many things we need to do in order to have a good voyage. The two major projects are upgrading the engine / propulsion system and the single sideband system. There she is the little OILER of my bilge. Here last hours in the saloon before moving out. The Nanni Mercedes coming out thru the companionway hatch. Well…...

The Salish Sea: Dao
http://pobien41.blogspot.com/2013/03/dao.html
Sailing, cruising, poetry, and reflections. Friday, March 22, 2013. Even stranger is that the kitchen does’nt move or roll at all. Other new joys to be found are a washer/dryer that does’nt take quarters and a full size bath tub and shower. I know I sound like a recently arrived luddite but we truly are noting and enjoying these comforts. I am excited about my sitting practice and encountering the phenomenal world. I just need to continue developing descipline that promotes quietness. A shout out, what l...

part II, Traveling Light:: Casa Quirky
http://sailcelebration.blogspot.com/2015/02/casa-quirky.html
Part II, Traveling Light:. Where we go off to see the world, sailing on other people's boats. Meanwhile, a company that had been contracted months ago to clean up the house and yard before the auction, showed up and took all the trash, brush, old appliances, AND the crap-pile outdoor kitchen! How much stuff could there possibly be, you ask? It took 3 guys almost 4 days. We saw them at the house when they were working, but didn't happen mention that the auction had already taken place. 3/8/15, 11:26 AM.

Part II, Traveling Light:. Where we go off to see the world, sailing on other people's boats. A really cool thing. Steve timed it perfectly and it was an amazing day. We entered the East river, going under the Throgs Neck bridge, it was our first view of Manhattan. Sailing school, just past the bridge. There were beautiful, expensive homes all along the river. Yes, that is a float plane in the garage. Another barge, this one looks like a residence with indoor and outdoor space. Going through Hell Gate.

part II, Traveling Light:: Sights of Maine: harbor seals

Part II, Traveling Light:. Where we go off to see the world, sailing on other people's boats. Sights of Maine: harbor seals. One of the great things about being out in the boonies of Maine is the wildlife. No moose so far, but we've seen eagles and osprey swooping in to fish, guillemots winging by with their inky black bodies and bright red feet, ducks by the hundreds, geese, and harbor seals. A nice soft kelp bed. This one was watching me as I was watching it. Seals have such sweet faces. The 'Kids': Da...
