Forever Change

Written Jan. 5th '11


After spending a night and a day in La Curuna, resting, refuelling and cleaning up the boat we once again got ready to hit the ocean road.


However. We did receive quite a few warnings about stormy weathers and winds reaching approximately 25 knots. This is wind you DO NOT wish to be in. The "storm" we had before our emergency stop in La Curuna only reached the 15 knots, so if you add another 10 knots to the waves my body felt; I think we all would be dead meat by the time we got out of it.


So the plan was to hit down South, stay close to the shore and find a nice little Spanish or Purtugeese town. A place where we could anchor for a few days till we had thumbs up to aim for open sea.


10 hours of sailing during the night was all we were able to do before having to head for the Spanish town Mugia. I was on night watch till 2 am. Went to bed with a few deep rockings of the boat, which I felt got worse due to ending up on the floor in my cabin, once again. At 6 am I noticed the quiet and heard the Captain drop the anchor. " Wicked! I can sleep like a normal person" were the last thoughts before I entered dreamworld.


I must say, so far the Captain has made only the right calls. As he says;
" No need to aim for rough weather when we have all the time in the world to get to Las Palmas. Where's the fire?".


I like it and his decisions.
Appreciate him not for being dum and trying to push the boat to its limits. He rather take it easy, enjoy the horizon and having a Gizmo who is 100 % fit for fight with a normal skin colour in her face. Thank You!
Since I got onboard I had the craziest dreams.


It is like the movement of the water makes my brain spin and dig up these unhidden subconcious memories and throw them all into my sleeping thoughts and therefore also my face. I kinda like it. Yet, everything in moderation ey.


Told the Captain about one dream I had where I was a Superhero. Real cool dream with several adrenalin kicks in my sleep. I love those dreams. Like the ones where you dream you are falling from a tall building. Uhhh! Dig it. Anyway, as I was telling him about who I saved being a rad mad Superhero and what I got up to, he looked at me with a smile (as always) and told me something I never thought of before;

" Well Giz. Do you know how many sperm cells there are in ONE ejaculation? Approximately 11 millions. And do you know how many will reach the egg? ONE, well normally one and sometimes two. But YOU fought your way throw. YOU battled a fight to be thee ONE to reach that egg. You have 3 brothers. Imagine all the stunts you pulled when kicking all the other eggs ass when YOU reached that egg. So you ARE a Superhero Giz. Even before you were born!"

How cool is that? I laughed my little bum off and told him I loved the way he gives me a compliment.


This is a thought you should always have in your mind when you have doubts about who you are. And most of all, what you are capable of. This thought matches my life-philosophy like a missing piece in a puzzle. We are all special. We can do what we want in life. If we beat that many millions at the finish line, then there gotta be something more to us than we think. We just tend to forget, which is sad. I will forever try to remember this when meeting a new personality. It helps you to see the beauty within, the glow every person has. Which is really something special and a gift to be cherished.


You really do create your own reality. You decide how you wish to look upon life and the experiences it gives you. Like The Dalai Lama would add; "There is nothing negative in the World, only your mind creates this". I love The Dalai Lama. When reading his books and sayings, there is a hidden softness that touches me. Like a warming hug that whisperes; "Everything will be just fine little one."
One thing that is certain in life is change.


Like the clouds.

They are forever changing. They will never make the same pose for you twice. And the coolest thing is you can always imagine different shapes of these: An elephant, an island with a palm tree. A pussycat (this I always tend to see), monkeys and so on. Even this you can interpretate into your way of thinking.
Your life will forever change. But it is up to YOU to see the beauty in all the different shapes of life and what it brings you. This is a challenge and not impossible. It is a another mental turn-on for me. An unbeatable smile provoker on a daily basis.


Frigin LOVE thought-stimulation as well as discovering new sides of "The Outer Box"!

Think we will try aim for another town further South around midnight. A place where we can anchor with easy access to land. My body is begging for a run. And a drink!

Thank You
