Volcanoes

I have never seen "Volcanoes" --

But, when Travellers tell

How those old -- phlegmatic mountains

Usually so still --

Bear within -- appalling Ordnance,

Fire, and smoke, and gun,

Taking Villages for breakfast,

And appalling Men -

(Emily Dickinson)

So, this is what it has come down to. All my hopes and dreams about leaving tomorrow are placed upon a test flight taking places right now……………damn. Mother Nature is playing around with us right now and showing us just how helpless we are. My bag is almost packed, just need to get everything to fit in :-S. Wanted to bring a certain book by a Danish writer that was recommended to me, but the village bookseller did not have it. Red shoes with white dots have been bought and are ready to set sail.

So what am I packing for you might ask. Well I am packing for Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago. I will be assisting on a project that is dedicated to gaining a better understanding what motivates people to leave their land-based lives and go sailing. I will be spending the next couple of months on a boat in the Caribbean Ocean, the boat will my home and the sea my playground. I hope to find time once a while to post some experiences and share some memories here.
