Day 38-Art or Sailing?

In our excitement in reaching the destination and the moroseness of the completion of the voyage also onset of some more challenging days prevented us from updating the blog for past few days here is a quick recap

We had some neighbours going past us for a while like a flock of albatross which are quite a sight for any observant birdwatcher, they sit on surface of sea when the swell is quite high like ducks (probably even take a nap) while taking rest and when they take a flight they hardly ever flap their wings even while flying against the strongest of winds as if giving a message when facing difficulties in life,sit over it and think and when you face it do it without fluttering.

The next set of neighbours were a school of dolphins. usually, the dolphins which are our frequent visitors out number and overtake us every time they visit. This time around they outnumbered us by thousands visible over a range of 2 miles they were in no hurry and overtook us sploshing singing and flipping on the sea busy in their gymnastics they came quite close to Mhadei as if welcoming her into African waters.
We also witnessed a full moon night at sea which got us all philosopical Dreamy and poetic.

One of the  mornings these days got the sleepy heads who were off watch to wake up early and all gizmo gadget freaks working their magic on the laptops camera mic and speakers as we got into a video chat with our great godfather Vice Admiral Manohar Awati(Retd) happy to see us as we were happy to see him as we exchaged plesantaries and shared news of happenings of the world on either side.

In our last post readers could witness some fine poetry by our amateur poet shou which got us into discussing  what fine arts we wanted to pursue when we were young

VJ philosophically says she always thought she would become a poet people who know her can agree to it as her mother has written some lovely poems for Mhadei which we will publish one of these days

Jammy thought she was quite a singer of her era when she was a kid her selection and choice of music indicate the making of a singer 

Aish however thinks she could have made a good standup comedian as she bores everyone on the boat with her ant and elephant jokes and also reads out loud some jokes mailed by her father (if only she could control her own laughter while narrating these jokes)

Shou  is being asked  to seriously consider her skills she even gave quite a demonstration of her Directorial skills when she directed VJ and Aish to take up a reef of mainsail with qute finesse.

Swatcat is thinking of becoming an interior decorator a good example of it can be her own house which she has done up with expertise

Our Dancing queen puko probably thinks of dancing even while sleeping given the fact that she is quite a show stopper on the dance floor she even stops people from dancing to show her puko moves Yeah! Shes in the making of a choreographer

Whether it is art or science what we wanted to become as compared to what we have become is a different ball game altogether we became ocean sailors in pursuit of action and adventure and that can be agreed upon by whoever believes in destiny.. We all do. And it has led us here where we belong and the best thing about it is it doesn’t stop us from pursuing our skills as a poet singer or writer neither will it stop us from going across boundaries getting us more seasoned by each passing day.

Every day is a new lesson and every voyage is a new chapter of experience

Signing off while gearing up for new lessons and sailing away across the next boundary.
