I was told it is the El Nina from the Pacific affecting the global weather particularly the oceans like the Atlantic Ocean. We are all in this one world, the blue water earth!
Our #11 para anchor is different this time a HB s we deplored it under the sun (the sun peaked out of the clouds for a couple of hours). But the strong SSE wind pushes us again too far north towards Iceland (a lovely country that I’d love to visit someday, but not now). To preserve our position and to get back on course towards Penzance UK, we put out our para anchor (a parachute like anchor to hold the boat from drifting northwards too quickly).
My dear friend asked me what my ETA is. I felt like a little ant heading from California to West Virginia and just passed Kansas! Looking east, the only Sun I can see is from the side of my boat, the Spirit of Waubun! Waubun means “rising sun” in Native America language, and the city of Waubun MN is where our Rainbow Resort is located. I’m hopeful that our ETA is determined by the sun, the moon, and all the Spirits around and in us.
