Sailing trip was pretty cool. There were a few surprising events.
Early on, I put my back out due to a miscommunication between myself
and Captain druid while preparing to raise anchor. We were using an anchor
and a rope to the shore. When druid tied the land line, it was high tide
when druid fastened the land line to a rock, but when I , and I rowed the
dinghy over to release it, the tide was much lower and I had to climb 15
feet up some slippery barnacle and seaweed covered rocks to untie it, with
Far Cove (sailboat) pulling on the rope in wind and current. I was able to
hold on OK, till druid started cranking up the anchor at the same time and
the tug of war caused me to slip and put my back out quite painfully.
I was feeling like I needed to go home to my chiropractor and let druid
sail on alone. We stopped at the nearest town/marina, and the Wharfmaster
there recommended a massage therapist whose work was partly energy based.
She did some lovely work on me.
Afterwards, my body was wanting to do some spontaneous Hatha Yoga for
the first time, in years... Nice! I have been pretty much a kriya-free zone
for quite a while... Guess Kundalini is done with me... I have been
wanting to get back into yoga for the exercise but was lacking motivation.
So, the accident had a positive end result. The other positive result
was finding a very cool piece of driftwood. I have been wanting to make
myself a decorated walking stick- Wizardy staff and while climbing the
rocks I found a perfect one, a slightly twisted branch that had been
harvested by a beaver for its lunch. Beaver tooth marks on it where it cut
it from the tree and ate the bark. I really wonder how it got there,
beavers are freshwater creatures and we were at sea... Goddess
provides! For the remainder of the trip I amused myself painting, carving,
decorating it and setting crystals and beads into it.
We had a few other funny and nice manifestations. While rowing around
sightseeing, looking for a nice piece of driftwood to decorate my serpent's
new habitat, druid mentioned wanting a flag for the dinghy. Not 5 minutes
later, we found one washed up on the shore. It was new and white, to match
the dingy, with a logo "Hawaii yacht club, boozin cruisin snoozin". Funny!
It was mounted on a short piece of chrome pipe that fit perfectly into a
hole in the bow of the dinghy. The irony is that for many years, druid has
had a framed sailing map of the Hawaiian islands up on the wall, because he
has always wanted to sail there (but I think, it is a pipe dream.) Goddess
has a sense of humour.
My search for the driftwood burl for the snake habitat was not going
well... all the bits I'd found were either too rotten, buried too deep in
the sand, or too big and our trip was nearly over. On the way up to
Desolation sound and on the way back, we stopped at the tiny port town of
Lund. The hotel menu had the history of the town, which made me laugh to
read it. The first paragraph described how the place had been a Native
settlement, sacred ground and descriptions of the idyllic lifestyle.
The next paragraph described how two Finnish brothers settled there and
immediately started logging, farming and building a hotel. What a
contrast... typical white folks! The last paragraph described how the hotel
had closed in 1997, and been purchased by the local native band in 1999,
and reopened. Full circle!
After lunch in the pub, we were chatting with two natives and mentioned
our ongoing quest for the perfect driftwood. They invited us to go to an
island that is part of their reservation, that has a beach with tons of
driftwood, and take whatever we liked! So we did! Normally we would not be
trespassing on a reservation, getting consent was fortuitous. I found a
lovely cedar burl, twisty and bleached white by salt water, but not rotten.
Interesting because the roots are wrapped around several stones of
varying types and colours, including some that may be BC jade. How we
managed to get this huge 200 lb burl from shore to sailboat with a gale
blowing in, is a whole other story... quite an adventure! Now it waits in
the carport for some chainsaw surgery to cut it down to size to fit into
the snake habitat, some TLC and varnish. Hope my snake likes her new toy!
I returned home to find nearly 1000 emails waiting, and an enormous
things to do list... I'm looking forward to catching up on the list mail.
