Sailing away .
It is a fine sketch rigged 22.8mtr long Scorpio 72 , updated and modern tech rigged , with no other goal as to follow the compass headings given by it's captain . I am lucky to be helmsman and rigger tuner of the sails on this nice vessel . There are a deckhand and a cook to , yes a cook , because he'll keep everyone hydrated and stuff . The captain is an old guy , his nick name angryman is these days only there as an reminder to his enemy's ,.. the fire is still there . The deckhand , who also does expeditions to land with the dingy and his dogs , besides doing dumpster raids he does some very good trading , is a moving dude that got stuck in a cold place before this came his way . Now he proudly calls himself movingman again . The cook was lost in his homeland and glad to get out , and very happy in this new free world . In a weird way claiming to be raised by wolves he has the German view on stocks witch is perfect to manage the kitchen , the old captain can be found stirring the pots to , for he likes to do so . While das woelfchen helped and learned some new stew to broil .
And yes there was a big change in the whole world that made this ship and it's yolly crew a reality like i just describe , the people won back there freedom . While economic's where crashing and governments where financial failing , a small group of lion's on a 5000 member block-chain platform took there measures . There little alt-coin became second in worth to bitcoin and stayed there to . Don't ask me how , my name is not Leo . Some Hive witnesses where able to take down big tech and the Technorati . Free border-less trade , in anything , and travel worldwide was now the normal . I admit i did not have match skin in it but my skills as sailor came in handy i guess . And it brought me just enough to take this pay-less job . Any profits the ship makes , i will get my cut ,.. like living on the ship with all to it is already a big profit to the quality of life . ( the ship is modern rigged with all foiling sails and powered winches ;-) )
For now we cruise at 8 nts average under sail 54°58'05.3"N 4°14'59.5"E heading south south west while 20 nts wind come blow from the west . Ill keep her as strait as possible for comfort witch still means walking on a angle a bit , but he' anything better then crossing the waters of those crazy Brexit Brit's . Boris went full dictator and sealed of the whole island , no one knows what is going on there , some whisper about forced psycho drugs , a dystopian system and mass killings by drugged ones on drug refuters . When the winds get to risky ill head for Ijmuiden and wait for a better breeze . No need to wake the captain at 4 in the night , no need for taking risk's , we have the time . The North-sea has a relaxing 3mtr swell , it's cloudy cold and rainy , it's November . Sitting in the inside cockpit helms-chair keeping watch on the heading and forecasts with my feet on the dash enjoying the waves going by . The forecast predicts 28nts turning south just a bit , rising and shorter swell , bumpy fast ride ahead . Only 3 hours left to the bell , i might see Texel on my right at sunset .
We left from Vestbygd Norway where Movingman boarded after spending the summer working on his plot of land . The ship made sight seeing trips and chilled out in the Norwegian fjords . Guest's where entertained by the captain . Two guest cabins and a vip cabin make it a bit more a passenger ship as a cargo hauler , but has it's advantages . If guest's pay or who is welcome is all in the captains hands . Paying guest's will fill my cut , but it's not important to me . Living the good free life is . Where i must say i got a bit worried about the good old man when lovely Norwegian nymphs stayed and the boat rocket steady true a wave-less night . Instruments gave warning on unbalance due to overload in the captains cabin . It's in the back has nice windows and a queen size bed . I was re leaved to see him sit in his captains chair with Misty-Girl his favorite kitty on a little platform attached to his chair giving her pet's and praises while cursing on ongoing world fuckery coming in true all channels . I guess push-ups do count for a healthy life .
The plan is to get to Spain , visit a natural healer lady who lives in a truck parked on her plot , the coin's did her good , still she lives independent self-sustaining and free with her two kids in this Truck , at least , it's part of the structure that functions for them as a house . They did some tweaking , there are two trucks now . We trade with her and the community she is among , we have not much cargo space , about a ton , but a big freezer , and for a wild cached frozen salmon some will trade a lot of tomato's . We hope to stay there for a week or so , get some natural spiritual healing advice , learn some herbs and move on with a mission .
Yes , a mission our captain took on , instead of going of bluewater sailing in the Caribbean we are on our way to Australia , and New Zealand . A mission with two parts . First part is bringing European herbs and goods to a kids teacher with knowledge of natural medicine . Goods from Trucklife her personal brew for a woman who makes rivers-flow ,.. and crosses them for fun in a landrover . But before we get there we need to do some payed job .
Getting to Australia would take a route passing Cape Town for it beats paying the Suez channel toll if you have time . Wasn't it that a English guy living in Thailand was ready to pay that toll for a few days , or weeks , of stay in the vip cabin ,fuck it , just come visit me he said , take some salmon , will have a fun bbq , discus the Lucylin rites and mysteries . So the Suez channel it is . witch is good and will give us opportunity to make a stop at Agios Nicoleas in the Peloponnese . Get food water fuel and some shotguns . the Asian waters are notorious for there machete pirates , slug blasting hole ripping shotguns will keep them of .
For the second part of our big mission we will after visiting Australia get to New Zealand . There is treasure to pick up , and our captain holds the map . This jackpot of frotune consists of an art collection digitized and hidden away on 33 hard-drives safely packed and buried in a field ,... a sheep field . The Artist has not many works in circulation , prices skyrocketing . It's true what they say , artist's start earning mostly after death . Tragic how this true fighter and spirit was the only deadly victim during the transition . What really happened , we will never know , trampled to death by mad sheep , what a way to go . How the Captain got hold of this map is not known to me , i just know that he knew Frot . The man travels the planet to secure his legacy from destruction and pay his respect to a hero for freedom , making sure his bloodline will get a fair chair of the loot .
Well it's bin a while sins i entered this match info in my log , the date 11 Nov 2022 , time 04:39
This absolutely fictional blog entry from the non existing future of helmsman Daniel R.K. is purely meant for entertainment purposes , any comparison with today's reality are pure coincidental . no claims can be made from this fiction . Daniel R.K. went on with his epic journeys and at old age led a fleet as admiral that conquered the Brexit blockades and freed the Brits . After winning many sea battles against Chi Ping to protect free trade routes .
I know , it's based on a lot of hopium (except a death artist that is) , but isn't it nice to smile at a daydream so ones in a while . And be amused by it , then take it for what it is , fiction ,be entertained and return to reality .
