Mooring Ball Mishap in St John, USVIs.. and a BIG SHOUT OUT to a fellow Sailor for Assisting!
We put into Caneel Bay on St John, USVIs for the night, anchored just off of Honeymoon Beach outside of the main harbor of Cruz Bay. Was a beautiful calm evening and night, but overnight the reversing currents decided to throw us a little curve ball! Woke up the next day to continue on our journey, but to find the mooring ball line had become entangled in our keel.. oops!
I dropped a GoPro in the water to survey the situation, as for me to get in the water when sailing alone would not be prudent, given that as soon as I freed the boat from the mooring ball pennant, it would immediately start to drift downwind and in the current that caused the problem in the first place.. and I'm sure our downwind neighbours would not be thrilled to look up and see 'Sophisticated Lady' drifting down on their bow with the captain in the water! Lol
Luckily the problem was not severe, but difficult to solve on my own.. that's when a fellow sailor on a small powerboat entered the scene yelling at me from the bow.. I couldn't make out what he was saying at first, but then heard LOVE THE VIDEOS!... Ah.. a Youtube fan, Lol... Great to hear, but not the best time for a chat.. but then he quickly saw that I was having a problem with the mooring ball, and without question or hesitation he was in the water with his mask and snorkel to help assess and rectify the situation. Within minutes 'Sophisticated Lady' was free of her bind, and we were on our way again!
Little things like this make me very grateful to be part of such a helpful community.. boaters are like none other, if you are in trouble or need, they will always be at the ready to assist in any way they can... so to this fellow mariner I say Thanks Rob! Your help was greatly appreciated, and next time I see you, the beers are on me! :)

African Tribes Traditions & Rituals | Full Documentary
In this region of the Ivory Coast there are still ancient jungles, such as the Tai jungle, and leafy forests which are home to different ethnic branches of the Mande group. The most characteristic of these are the Dan, who are related to the Guere.
Their villages are very distant from each other – they do not form a large community, but rather isolated groups, which only come together in exceptional circumstances, to defend themselves against some common threat. masks are real institutions, of the Gueré which order, legislate and codify the social life of the different ethnic groups that live in this region in the west of the Ivory Coast.
A great part of the mythology of the Dan is born in the heart of the jungle, in these labyrinthine forests teeming with life, where their deities live, and where nature and magic melt into one. The Dan have always respected and venerated their natural surroundings, as something sacred, as it is the indisputable genesis of their cosmogony. In the interior of this green world, we find the bridges of the spirits.
But these are not the work of man. The supernatural beings of the forest themselves build these bridges, to make it easier for the men who live here to move through the forest. Hundreds of lianas, the resistant living limbs of the jungle, are woven together in the dead of night by the spirits. At dawn, a new bridge connects the opposing banks of a river, or crosses a deep ravine.
No one knows how or when they are built. But for them they are sacred, because they are made with lianas, and everything that comes from the jungle is revered. That is why they take their shoes off before crossing, as a mark of respect.
Apart from the daily chores, the women occupy a very important position in the social structure of the Ubi. As in the majority of the 60 or so different ethnic groups that live in the Ivory Coast, the women form secret societies, which have a decisive influence in the village about sex rituals.
In their meetings, which no man may attend, they deal with matters exclusive to the women, though their attention has been centred on just one subject for some time now. In the main cities of the Ivory Coast, associations have been formed to fight to eradicate the barbarous traditional practices, the mutilation of female sex organs. Periodically, women from these associations travel to the most remote villages, to speak with the leaders of the secret societies, and try to convince them to abandon this custom.
Every village in the Ivory Coast has an area of the nearby forest where the spirits of their ancestors live. It is the sacred forest of each group, a place which is taboo for strangers. Here, the young men are brought to be initiated, circumcisions are carried out, they speak to the masks of wisdom, and justice is imparted.
To the north of the Mande country lies the land of the Senufo, one of the ethnic groups of Africa that has best preserved its own culture.
Agriculture is their main activity, though they also have cattle, above all goats and cows.
Rice forms an important part of their diet. In these mortars, they separate the grain from the husk. It will then be stored in the granaries, along with the millet and maize.
Senufo villages tend to be large compared to those of other groups in the Ivory Coast. They are made up of groupings of different clans and lineages, which form what we would call districts. In each one of them there is a fetish house, where they keep their masks and religious carvings.
Women are very important in Senufo society. Their power is comparable to that of the men, though less evident. The system of transmission of culture and tradition is matrilineal, which makes the woman the head of the lineage. Senufo painting is also among the most widely recognised in Africa. Picasso came here, seeking inspiration for cubism, from these artists who expression the visions of the hunters, or the deities of the Poro.
They use vegetable paints made using techniques whose origins are lost in the depths of time.
Parker Jax Ward and I on an 86ft catamaran in the Bahamas on our way to snorkel the reef 8.17.13
No personal income, wages, etc. was used to produce this video. All expenses were paid by personal credit cards and/or loans, which are paid by other personal credit cards and/or loans.
Take a ride on the state of the art Ocean Voyager, a sleek, 82 foot catamaran and stop to snorkel over a beautiful natural reef before returning to Nassau.
Plunge into the sparkling blue Bahamian seas on this Catamaran Sail & Snorkel shore excursion in Nassau, Bahamas, and join your fellow Carnival® cruisers aboard a stylish, 110-passenger catamaran. At 86 feet long and 41 feet wide, this beauty is the largest catamaran of its class. Meet the boat captain and four-strong crew, and feel the sea spray on your face as the boat slices through bottle-green seas.
Once on board, get the lowdown on safety as you cruise comfortably to your special snorkeling site—either the Athol or the Rose Island reef, depending on the day's conditions. Relax on the catamaran deck or in the shade for the scenic 30-minute journey—along the way, look for the impressive, coral-colored Atlantis Resort, with its towers straight out of a fairy tale!
Once the catamaran reaches your special snorkeling reef, it's time to don a life vest and snorkeling gear—the real adventure is about to begin. Descend the six-foot boat ladder into the crystal-clear waters below and snorkel at your own pace in warm turquoise seas above a spectacular array of marine life. You'll be drifting by yellowtail snapper and angelfish, multicolored corals (careful not to touch them!) and sea fans, green fronds gently waving in the slow-moving currents. What's that cruising by? It's a school of groupers—and peeking out from that rock is a spiny lobster!
When it's time to head back to your Carnival ® cruise ship, towel off and settle in on the catamaran deck. Kick back, unwind and enjoy a refreshing complimentary rum or fruit punch while swapping tales of the deep with fun-loving Carnival cruisers all the way home.
Book the Catamaran Sail & Snorkel shore excursion and explore the amazing undersea world in the Bahamas. This Nassau shore excursion is an exciting way to add fun ashore to your fun afloat.

THE NEW ATLANTIS - FULL AudioBook by Sir Francis Bacon
THE NEW ATLANTIS - FULL AudioBook by Sir Francis Bacon
New Atlantis is a utopian novel by Sir Francis Bacon, published in Latin (as Nova Atlantis) in 1624 and in English in 1627. In this work, Bacon portrayed a vision of the future of human discovery and knowledge, expressing his aspirations and ideals for humankind. The novel depicts the creation of a utopian land where generosity and enlightenment, dignity and splendour, piety and public spirit are the commonly held qualities of the inhabitants of the mythical Bensalem. The plan and organization of his ideal college, Salomon's House (or Solomon's House), envisioned the modern research university in both applied and pure sciences. (summary adapted from wikipedia.org)

Cruising for Introverts and Carnival's PVP - Vlog
Hi Cruisers, We are back with our regular weekly cruise vlog. As always, help us thank our sponsor by visiting
We had a lot of great questions and interesting cruise topics this week. We started with some follow up information from subscribers who had watched our video The Truth About Norovirus and they had some terrific additional information about products that can help you avoid infection. We added a link to some of these products on our website: We'll definitely be buying some. Then we talked about cruising for introverts, and ways to manage being overwhelmed by the crowds. It's time to start planning that Alaska vacation, and we had a few questions about booking tours, and hotel accommodations in Seattle. You can see more about cruising Alaska in our Alaska livestream vlog here: We covered a quick question about Princess' beverage carry on policy, and if it's okay to bring a drone on a cruise. We got a little help from our friend Tommy from AlwaysBeBooked podcast about late nights on Carnival for night owls. Then we offered our thoughts on a subscriber question about dealing with megalophobia on a cruise. To wrap things up we talked about packing with carry on only ( and what to do with a dinner jacket. We also answered a question about when we use a travel agent (and Carnival's Personal Vacation planners). And we asked you for help answering questions about Passion Island, and Dolphin excursions in the Bahamas.

The Spell of Egypt by Robert Smythe Hichens Video / Audiobook
Why do you come to Egypt? Do you come to gain a dream, or to regain lost dreams of old; to gild your life with the drowsy gold of romance, to lose a creeping sorrow, to forget that too many of your hours are sullen, grey, bereft? What do you wish of Egypt?
