Travel without flying

Northern Shipyard Slowly recovering from disastrous treatment of Northern Shipyard in Langkawi we arrived at island We in Indonesia with more problems that we began the sailing and luckily enough gear box fall off completely from the engine exactly at the moment when we have been setting the boat on mooring. It seems that consequences from that morose experience we had in Northern Shipyard will follow us long after we will forget the name of the shipyard.      While the boat underwent maintenance I embarked to explore so controversial surrounding of region of northern Sumatra. Aceh, Indonesia [1] Waking up the first time in the morning at island We, after two 2 days and 2 nights in sea, I was struck by splendid and quaint environment of clear turquoise water and surrounded of rain forest jungle on the slopes of the mountains and the moment couldn't be more quintessential but I wake up not after having peaceful deep sleep rather by sirene and outcry of countless...

[1] After 7 months on the shipyard and 3 months, 3 months delay the Seawolf boat is still not completely reconditioned, the situation is worse than a nightmare that one could put to end by waking up instead people are stuck, in unlimited promises from the shipyard staff, without any possibility to eschew existing awful unfolded position.  [2] Northern Shipyard web page describe a beautiful illusion of services which customers will get though contrary a catastrophic consequence will wait to shock unaware ship owners. First to debunk their majestic experience of 25 years in the field with unprofessional and careless workers which several times, despite pointing out and explaining the issue at the beginning, still welded the engine support on the boat just for later to cut it down. The captain was driven mental by watching defenseless for days how most of the time the workers have a scheme of one main producer and 3 or 4 persons who act as a support group that are smoking, play...

[1] Important resource as healthy nourishment, fresh and clean water, building material as wood and steel or textile for clothes push to dangerous limits of extreme utilization and unsustainability of the earth. The more people use commodities extracted from the environment without any balance the more torment and worn-out the Eco-system will become, the ability of the earth to sustain avarice, selfish and plunder  behavior of the people is finite. Maybe the natural growth, of human population, rising economy or uprising consumption of electricity, it is necessary to step on the next level of evolution but since the planet earth grow with unnoticeable ratio of 1 cm per 100 years [1]  it is irrational to justify further expansion neither humans nor financial sector. Once productive, fertile and organic soil humus become fatigued by unsaturated thirst of people to extract more commodities using various chemical pesticides and synthesized fertilizers as consequence sever...

Human factor As usually happens with many trips to be changed, delayed or even canceled in the last moment because of various reasons but most predominant are erratic weather which is quite difficult to forecast or conflict zones which its spontaneous appearance reflect in deadly attacks but mainly cause of modifying the journey's route or postpone the date is strongly related with human factor. The sailboat that was in the dry dock for important maintenance failed to be ready in the time agreed by the both parts thus frustration, irritation and disappointment of the captain grew extensively against unprofessionalism and ignorance of the service company which didn't prepared the boat in time therefore our water trip had been delayed for a while. Only one thing to comment, human factor which tend to blame on everything else but not on theirs mistakes, bad days or negligence is utterly unreliable and disturbing in the context of business or day to day life.  Travel slowly a...

Coming by road   [1] As my travel living adventurous journey began on a night train in one summer dusk day in chilly Stockholm in Sweden, I had embraced in my positive buoyant mind to reach New Zealand with one single rough and tricky rule, never consent or accept to take airplanes unless eminent impasse without outcome will compel me to apply force major actions. Unsubstantial thoughts, that perhaps I can't achieve and realize my stubborn promise of technical and infrastructure reasons was quickly mounting on the top of the other of my concerns. Since I didn't prepared any master plan in details which should practical ease my movements I felt voluntary to discover the limits of  unpredictability and resilience which become fast a valorous and important first hand experience of the excited new and simultaneously aged world's realm. [2] Gradually train by train, car and bus I arrived at the far and uncharted solitude cost of East Russia where the bulky Eas...

The beginning of the teaching           Passing the primary knowledge from one generation to another is not a radical new idea for humans and it could trace back even to the animal kingdom when the essential skills, like what food is not poisonous or where to find water to what animals to avoid, helped the creatures to survive. In the same matter knowledge passed from parents to children of humans, for instance parents taught they offsprings how to build a shelter or how to hunt or what month is most favorable to sow the plants seeds. This knowledge was limited to occupation and regional displacement and most of the times the peasants were sharp, clever and skilled enough in their physical field but couldn't even read or write. Intellectual property was at different scale and status and could be reached only among wealthy and noble families where very few had access to royal court. [1] The main learning in the royal court differed widely from what the...
