Goodbye Med Hello Britain

Image
May 2012 After recharging our batteries with a relaxed stay a Sally’s apartment in Southern Spain we decided to take up Moksha crewmate, Phil’s offer to stay at his place at Arnside in the Lake District of the UK for a while. We’d never seen any of the north of England. It was a great option as we still had not found a replacement boat after our crew spots on Astor disappeared. We also really enjoy Phil’s company. He's always good for a laugh. Good craic as he says. April 30 saw us on an Easyjet flight out of Alicante. The discount airlines are incredible. Spain to the UK for 49 Euro each. That’s the good news. At 23 kilograms, each of our duffle bags cost over 100 Euros as check through luggage.

Ten Canoes

Image
The 2006 movie Ten Canoes by Rolf de Heer is a mesmerizing look at the pre-European-contact culture of Australia and well worth viewing even if it didn't feature indigenous boats. A story-within-a-story within yet another one, they're all set in the Arafura Swamp in Arnham Land, in what is now the Northern Territory, on the northwestern shore of the Gulf of Carpentaria. Director de Heer's inspiration for the movie came from a 1936 photograph by anthropologist Donald Thomson, that showed 10 solo bark canoes being poled through long grass in the swamp. The story was built around that image, but when he showed up there to film, seeking local craftspeople to make the props, and local residents -- all of them Australian Aborigines -- to fill all the movie's roles (none of whom had any acting experience), de Heer found that knowledge of the swamp's indigenous canoe had disappeared from the region. de Heer was able to recruit one individual with some bark canoe building e...
