Wind ENE 5 knots, Course SSW, Speed 0.6, Position 9° 14' N by 21° 17' W

I grew up surfing and I have always loved waves even if they were small and misshapen.  I got down low so I could see the light coming through their moving walls and peer further down their spiraling tubes.  When the wave reached completion on the shore I quickly looked to the next and tried to let my mind ride each and every wave.  Now I feel each and every wave and love them even more and try to take care of each wave until it reaches the shore.  I see poetically and the results are light and energy for the spirit.  Like a transformer I send energy out to charge the soul of man.  I am in a critical learning situation.  I must constantly keep learning to survive, but still I must share and help people discover and value their potential for transcendental experience and perceiving beauty in every thing.  If it is not apparent in your environment look up, look up.  Moment by moment over the years I gazed upwards and began to see things most people did not perceive.  You will also be helped if you gaze upwards.  The air of our blue planet surrounding us and the essences of all the ages is circulating through us when we breathe.  Magic is always happening every eternal moment.  I ride the waves of perception to inner man so people will understand this mission is not only a physical accomplishment, but also an experience in space and time learning to perceive God in every wave.  Spiritual sailing is a medium for spiritual communication.  Spiritual sailing turns viewers into creators by stimulating them to develop the meaning of what they are seeing.  Sincere seers have the opportunity to complete this voyage as it suits them and thereby together we reanimate the world with our spiritual perceptions.

A great wind came in a squall and I was afraid the white egret would blow away, but he crouched lower and lower until his body was almost flat down. The next morning was calm and he had flown.

[Ed.  Looks like a problem with the shore side email provider.  Today only the picture made it through.  First time that has happened on the voyage so far.  The crew we've been working with for email have done an excellent job.  I think they'll get it sorted shortly.  When that happens I'll post Reid's update.]
