Day 801 "Pop" Exploration
Day 801 - July 2, 2009Wind SW, 10 Knots, Course NW, Speed 1 knot, Position 7*33n by 17*03w Pop ExplorationFirst through the Northwest Passage and to the South Pole, Amundsen said, The (North) Pole held no interest for me - Peary's brilliant deed in 1909 had destroyed it's value for all subsequent explorers .I agree with Amundsen, but that is not the case with Jeff Blumenfeld, a host of modern adventurers and many corporations. Those corporations have spent millions of dollars supporting trips to the poles and many times conquered mountain tops to advertise their names and products.For 35 years Jeff has had his eyes on the adventure world and has been reporting it in Expedition News, an insiders guide to the business of adventure marketing. Exploration has married consumer culture, the mass media and popular culture, making it much more accessible to the average person. I call it Pop Exploration, short for popular exploration. It has a sensibility to advertising, mass media and the consumerism of our turn of the century culture. Jeff reports with a sense of satirical wit. a golfer got sponsorship to hit a golf ball 1,319 miles across Mongolia. An African American woman in her senior years was sponsored to helicopter to the North pole to put on skis. She became a hit inspirational speaker in the media and TV talk shows. Tough men and women with an environmental sensibility have been sponsored to retrace the steps of most of the great expeditions and climbed more mountains faster.You can read all about it in You Want To Go Where? How To Get Someone To Pay For The Trip Of Your Dreams . Read about modern exploration and find out how to fund and arrange your own trips. It took me twenty years of trying all kinds of things and I sure couldn't tell a person how to do it. I think Jeff wrote an entertaining, right up with the times book, like no other book on exploration. It is a must for anyone who wants a little help going anywhere by any means.It is a book I think followers of The Love Voyage will enjoy.
800 Days at Sea
July 1, 2009. The 1000 days non-stop Mars Ocean Odyssey reaches Day 800.by J.R. Weeks, V I sail and write for those who have embarked upon quests with open hearts and a longing for oneness. In what is becoming one of histories' greatest athletic and psychological feats, artist and sailor Reid Stowe passed day 800 of a planned 1000 days nonstop on his self-built 70 foot 50-ton Schooner Anne on July 1, 2009. In a world consumed by issues of ecology, energy and economy, Stowe's endurance challenge is a studied example of self-sufficiency. The Schooner Anne left Hoboken, New Jersey, on April 21, 2007 with three years of food and supplies, and the plan is to not port nor resupply for another 200 days.
Day 799 Sacred Sideslip
Day 799 - June 30, 2009Wind SE 5 to 25 knots, Course NW, Speed 1 to 3 knots, Position 6*50n by 16*51wSacred SideslipThere is a sailing maneuver that sailboats have always had the occasion to use called heaving-to. A sail in the middle of the boat is pulled tight fore and aft and the wheel is turned into the wind causing the boat to face into the wind and stall. This is a good maneuver in heavy weather, but also any time a sailor wants to pause for any reason. We have heaved-to regularly on this voyage under many different circumstances.Now I am practicing a tactic I call the Sacred Sideslip. It is like heaving-to, but the boat is a little more broadside to the wind and the sails are a little looser. Like this I can guide or speed up or slow down my drift.It is sacred because it is done as reverently as possible, acknowledging the holiness of nature and the omnipresence of God. The objective is to know our place in the universe better and to make a transformation from a faulty, wordly creature into a spiritual being more in tune with our higher callings. The sacred sideslip is a dance of sorts, a slow dance more suited for those who have been through more ups and downs in life and are now in it for the long run with a view of helping others.This is not a dance teenagers discovering their wild side would understand or choose. I do this dance throughout the day and night. As I move from one place to the next, I side slip trying to conserve my energy, remembering my gratefulness and impermanence.Fostering this sacred awareness has allowed me, I think to move into new realms of human experience. Any attitude with hate, anger, criticism, jealousy, prejudice, unforgiveness, judgment, or any of the lower human emotions will quickly end any possibility of understanding the sacred sideslip. I slip forward, to the side and back, riding the giant forces of nature and I don't know where or when this will end.One day again I will have to reorient myself to the world and choose the best course for my abilities. For the time being, I dissolve in the grace of the sacred sideslip.
