Hawaiian Canoe Sailing Tahiti

THE PACIFIC - Waterman and women of the world - out here in the glorious, mesmerising, tropical Pacific Ocean, senses are heightened to the point where you become numb to the world, where nothing else matters, where thoughts and concerns of the 'real' world dissolve and wash away into the cobalt blue waters surrounding you. Out here, water-people find peace, meaning, relevance and nourishment of the soul - it's a special thing and I wish I were there now . . .
