Pig roasts, Humpbacks and crazy Didgeridoos!!!!!!

The whole trip has been amazing but the South Pacific has changed us forever!!!!!! The solace that we found in the tranquil warm waters that exist out in the middle of the “Big Blue” has altered our way of thinking and will challenge us in our way of living life forever. We spent more time underwater than above and saw some of the most unbelievable sea life in the world. The white sand beaches along with the amazing diving and surfing were almost impossible things to say good bye to as we had to once again picked up anchor and head west. For the first time in our lives we had a sufficient amount of time to be surrounded and focused on nothing but the movements of the earth. The wind, tides, waves, sun and moon and of course sea life were the only things we concentrated on and depended on as we attempted life away from everything that we were used to. The lifestyle tested us in more ways than we have begun to understand but it magnified the importance of two things we will never forget. It helped us to recognize up close and personal the power and beauty of simplicity and the importance of family and friends. It was refreshing, tiring, lonely and exhilarating all at the same time.
Out on the ocean solitude seemed to poke its head out from every corner. The long streches of time away from land and people made the interactions and friendships we formed so much richer. In every village and on every island we met so many amazing people and were able to connect with almost everyone. With all the other boats that are out here on similar journey’s we seemed to only make a few close friends. There was one boat we traveled with, one family, which we especially had such an amazing time with and will never forget. The adventures we had with Dave, Tris, Kai and Dior on Damojo, have changed us forever and in many ways made our time in the South Pacific what it was. As we hopped from atoll to island across the South Pacific our connection grew based on our mutual appreciation and dedication for the environment and our RECKLESS spontaneity. Diving untouched reefs for tuna, swimming up close with sharks, manta rays and humpback whales and surfing uncrowded waves were all amazing experiences that the ocean shared with us and it felt so much more real because we got to share it with Damojo.

There are so many stories to tell and pictures to share! You will have to wait until we get home though! We can't wait to see all of you so soon!!!!!!!!
