Shooner 'Freedom' coming from the ocean at a grey sunset, 04/2012
Donald
'Muggie'
Donald's 'home'
a wholly teak built house, made of the wood of this ship (as is the office) :
Capitaine Hugh Mitchell, canadian, 77, at 'home'

He welcommed me,
He is a man who lived a whole life based on hope,
on trust in the other and on love of the sea,
he did a transat on the 22 foot right down.

I also met a good friend of Hu, Captain Ira Murphy,
who passed away not long after, a kind and
trustworthy experienced gentleman sailor;
he was 84 years old ... on the sea since age 16 !
He had been a crew of the SS Meredith Victory
that performed the largest humanitarian
rescue operation by a single ship,
the "Ship of Miracles" (Korea, 1950).

Thank's to this sailor, I could sleep 2 weeks in his boat
Why the '...' near home above twice :
The above boat belongs to the owner of the marina.
The
same kind of schooner was 'used' to build Donald's home and an office
house nearby. This owner is doing a kind of bargain with the people who
work here. They get no pay but they have a home for free, even on the
water like the one of an old woman, painter and photographer, that can
be seen on the pic of the Harley, in the back right (post named Fish
Island Marina), and a lot of free time to make money if possible.
All
of them are great people, living on little, helping each other, sort of
a small peaceful community. They are many of the kind across America
based on a lot of different sort of people, like the 'ex-Hare Krishna'
in Lacrosse ! They welcome strangers on their principles, provided they
fit, honestly, and that there is a place for them ... kind of local
barter.
They have
guns, because in America, if you hang a sign reading:"Posted, No
Trespassing", you can shoot, really, (but not in town because of the
noise !), you can say that the trepasser was menacing you in your home
but, one uses guns only to kill venomous snakes, I saw that.
In fact, as
elsewhere, delinquancy is the lot of the suburbs, the cities. In the
countryside, also, you are known , and maybe treated accordingly if you
do wrong... Lots of police everywhere, even more by night.
Americans
are much more straight than Europeans, not mentioning asians. Maybe is
this because they have been mixed with blacks for so long ?
Black
people, as poor as they can be, and except the ones addicted to drugs,
are prouds of themselves, but not as something to show, what they will
do anyhow, but as their reality of life, sort of loving the moment,
powerfully. They like strength as much as whites like materiality.
That's why, when they play music, they live it, physically, naturally
could be said.
We all have
something special, naturally, sort of 'built in type' from our genetic,
and there is among mankind, as there is for other species, different
types, each one with a different potential that, with intelligence and
love, is 'designed' to serve all, to progress and understand life, and
also not get bored of one's limited abilities !!!
I found
americans can prove very trustful, and helpful like the two old women
who spotted me whan I was hitchiking between St Augustine and Titusville
and gave me from the window of their car a bottle of water... with 6 $
wrapped to it by elastics, that at first I did not see, or that young
black near Daytona who turned over in his Mustang to give me 5, as if
somehow, he had too much and a little less will prove good for him ....
That's downsizing, isnt'it ?
Everywhere I
stopped, people have been helpful, and so was I in a case of a black
woman who was sitting on a bench, by 11pm, at a bus stop of
Daytona Beach, with an incense stick planted on a side, waiting ..., she got my hitchhiking's "earnings".
I was
looking to finish my journey that day, and after having walked 10 miles
or so, I sat on the same bench half an hour waiting for the last bus to
advance me a bit, so, meanwhile we were talking little, she said she had
her 11 daughter taken from her a few months ago, placed in a foster
care. She had no job, no ressource, only a day care place where to sleep
a little, she was exhausted, physically and morally. She was crying
silent tears.
Children
also can be in state of distress by a young age around, especially those
of the so-called minorities. And when you see that these 'minoroties'
are the only ones to have children, and families !
'Long time'
americans are working old here, workers are old, and tired, like the
women of the 7/11 shop pictured down, the bus driver or the hairdresser.
They are tired to work for being enslaved ! Their eyes are very opened
on their situation and America's.
Titusville
is half empty and for sale, like many other places I've been told,
Detroit being the more reknowned. The country was designed on a big
scale, 'they' saw big, but the
population
did not renew itself fast enough on the long run.
Maybe
because, on one side, working for materiality does not allow
annoyances, like children, each american is his own child to care for
(!), but on the other side, it is by design, from 'outside', meaning
institutions, corporations who obey a master plan (like China !).
Americans
have been leaded for most of them to a big point of despair, but they
are still trying to be happy, at least trying to show it, mostly by day
time because electric bills are high.
Europeans
are richer, by a two fold might I say, but in the same ratio less
friendly, more individual dreamers, and more hooked in the end on
materiality. However, America and Europe have in common to be both of
them kind of lost, of hopeful in some savior but not knowing which one
...
American,
like most of the peoples on earth, are not the way that they are
portrayed by the medias that focus on crimes that the governements
create together with the 'private' industry supported by all religions.
"They"
want the peoples to feel bad, like the song, "they" lead us into
despair. In reality, I am happy to see that in many places, in Europe
too must it be said, people manage to get along and not hurt too much
one another, but countless are harming themselves in return, too bad.
