here's a wonderful clip of Lake Superior.. she can go from calm golden hour beauty to this hateful spiteful rage in moments.. and i'll be testing TheBoat (and Pilot/ self) on a circuit of The Great Lakes- a proving ground worthy of global apprehension!

Palmyra Atoll.. my first planned #landfall after I set sail from Hawaii.. about 1700Km and if I miss it by an inch, i miss it by a mile.

gonna do Google Earth (not promoting one brand over another) circuit of the island.. on water and land to preserve its memory as sea levels rise and swamp it out.

an aerial photo of Palmyra Atoll, 1700km due south from Hawaii and in a direct line from Hilo to New Zealand.. i'll spend about a week here shooting still and video.. documenting an island that'll soon be lost to sea level rise!

eighteen year old Teale on the West Van windowsill.. topless and in plain view of sidewalk surfers.. her ample breasts warmed by the spring sun and her gaze slightly downcast, right arm extended up and above her head, outside the window, her left arm placed gently on her shoulder not obscuring but accentuating her breast lines. she is wearing a fabric wrap around her waist.

EXILE'd
this image is one of nearly 100 images that have been selected for showcase.. 1/3 nudes.. in the hard cover, 8" by 10" coffee table book titled EXILE'd.. it depicts a perspective and penchant morphed and modified through abuse that has produced an unique visual acuity augmented by anecdotes and memories that will illuminate, at a greater level, the effects child abuse can have, through mine own lived experiences.

purchase of the book supports Ocean Cyclist.

I've been in #terrace (BC) for a couple weeks and this was the last view i had of my boat. Miss her already.. every night i go over #nextsteps to finish her off and i'm hoping that i'll be able to go back in a week or so to.. do the tasks.

*memories in alt txt*

sitting here in the rain, i've recently added cocteau twins to my playlist..

by way of a flashback in a flashback..
i used to listen to Blue Bell Knoll every night before i dropped out.. I'd come back to my OneRoom and flip it on, on repeat.. all night long so..

when Heaven or Las Vegas came out.. I grabbed a copy right away and it became the soundtrack to cycling from Phoenix to Los Angeles. If you've done that drive, its not too long but i have poignant, piqued memories of that passage for it was more than just physical/ geographical passage.. there was a deep psychological growth that took place as i meandered along that highway.

first, yes- i was leaving behind a wonderful woman. She had shown me that her heart was pledged to someone else and the only way i could win her affections was to fight, tooth and nail.. to show her i meant business. I didnt wanna do that so, she married the guy that got shot and ejected out of the zepplin in the film 'The Rocketeer.' And i went on to.. different psychological groundings.

and that was the thing- i was making more of a mental space growth and passage..

so, sitting on the side of the highway with my blue 1990 Rockhopper loaded to bear for hitch hiking (minimally for bike touring).. and digging a small hole for lunch fired Mr. Noodles.. any song from Heaven or Las Vegas brings me back there.. instantly.. and with full force.

in the composition of this, i've forgotten to mention a few things.. so be it. there has been a lot of personal growth in my life.. i'm hoping that- thru OceanCyclist- i can massage the last stage(s) of this journey towards positivity for i positively have experienced the detractional or distasteful effects of abuse.. my partner is island there to. My child, a palm tree on said island providing escape from sun and weather.. both embolden my soul .. and i hope that when Ocean Cyclist reaches conclusion i can be the man they see me as.

**still listening to cocteau twins, btw ;) **

its been a couple #weeks already.. and i miss sitting, looking forlorn in to the hull and making pensive plans in my head. Spent today @ the local Farmers Market and talked to a bunch of ppl.. about the boat, about the purpose.. about the route.. and ran in to one of my first ever nude models!

the cockpit of a pedal powered boat in construction showing rough laid planks, enlargened ribs, a recumbent captains seat, pedal armiture.. with a view towards the bow. the lines of planking are starting to look clean and purposeful even if 'the boatshed' is cluttered with two- wheel carcasses and injured rides.

looking forward, with anticipation, to the next sojourn to Calgary for another bout of hammer and nails, screwgun and epoxy!

to me, it's an important movie. It was an early videoscape piece with soundtrack by Phillip Glass.
