The game has changed. We came here to crew on someone else's yacht, sail the Pacific, learn to dive, go fishing and visit island communities. What's occurred is that a team has formed and we've clicked! New possibilities have opened up, opportunities that we never expected. Opportunities for us all to live our dreams. Jerry has been a wonderful catalyst for bringing us together and showing us that we need to go for our dreams. But we're being thrown all kinds of challenges...
Indiana Jones and his Temple of Doom is our metaphor for our journey at the moment. We are on an adventure but we're being hit by obstacles - rolling boulders, hot metal spikes, fire and brimstone!
We're homeless, camping out in someone else's boat but only till tomorrow. The Harbour Master wants us out (we're not sure why). We've found a boat at the marina, a 47 foot trimaran, that would be fabulous for what we want to do but we need to come up with the money to pay for it. We all have a dream to sail the Pacific, inviting other adventurers to travel with us, to learn sailing and diving and deliver projects to remote island communities but each of us needs to earn an income as we do it. We see sciencists, researchers, engineers and other generous human beings wanting to use their skills to benefit others, joining us on the boat but we need a boat!!! Dilemmas, dilemmas.
Excitingly, we've found a boat called Moxie (which according to Webster's English dictionary means Energy, Pep, Courage, Determination and Know-how!!) and she's been for sale for almost 2 years. We've had a conversation with the owner who is keen to sell it to us. Tomorrow we may make an offer.
