Yes no more sense of freedom mateys is to sail the deep blue sea as free as bird trading good among islands 99% have never heard of.
The KWAI the last active cargo sailing vessel afloat. The last of the dawn traders of old amigos.
Skippered by Kanacki's 3rd son 3 out of his 4 sons are skippers. The vessel is virtual supermarket, petrol station post office you name it.
Sailing around the island bring supplies to very remote locations no other vessels visit. The only sounds amigo is wind the engine the sails and sweet sounds of guitar and Uke strumming the tunes of lost loves and places visited....
The whole world is on that ship with its raggedy old crew looking more like pirates than sailors.. The outside world seem so far and remote.
Yet to the islanders she is a star amigos a rainbow of hope when her sails are seen from the shore.
The sun and sea blackens you into old a crusty old salt. The waves and sky dances with dazzling shades of blue beyond the wildest imagination and stirs you soul amigo. Most islanders are so grateful just top receive the simplest of things that you are always welcomed with open hearts. With song dance and grateful hugs amigo.
There is none of the pettiness and virtue signaling there as we have now in our so called civilized world They always smile even with the very little they have and every little thing we take for granted is cherishes and appreciated. The kids with no toys other than their imagination are full of laughter and joy.
Like series of enchanted fairy lands lost among the might Pacific the schooner sails through at night like a sea of stars. It is hard to know if you are awake or dreaming as it seems both have merged into one.
When one steps into this world at first one feels they have never lived? Yet it weaves it magic around you, gone are the troubles of the world. You live for the day and every breathing moment. Time my friends has no meaning.
Such is the freedom. My time on those enchanted seas are never forgotten amigos.
