white sails

I have always had a dream of sailing. A few years back I did some serious research, and was pretty close to go either across the Atlantic or across from Africa to India. I had a look at a few shorter, less dramatic alternatives too, but things go the way they go, and I ended up doing that bachelor thing instead. In addition, I am not entirely certain of my own seaworthiness either. I have been on large boats and ferries, where everyone had green faces and fed the fishes. I was bored. It was not entirely comfortable, but most of all I was bored; that there was no-one to hang around in the bar with, telling tall tales.

We learn roughly the same things from opposite directions; we each hold an end of the stick, so to speak. But we see everything in different shades. Some things comes naturally to me; they are lost. Sometimes the shoe is on the other foot.

Six faces of the moon – partial lunar eclipse

The moon was beautiful tonight, and playing with my new camera is a delight. It turns out it was a partial lunar eclipse that I was totally unaware of. It makes it so much more delightful to be suprised by things like that. Reading everything in newspapers is overrated. Being prepared is overrated.. Read the rest »
