Some very dear friends of ours (who are also sailors with a thirst for adventure) got us this book for our wedding. I started reading it and love it. I think it's perfect. It might even be magic and I am certain I was meant to have it.
This book is akin to finding a hidden treasure. Written in the 1930's it is an autobiography of the travels and adventures of Osa and Martin Johnson. True trail blazers, way ahead of their time. It feels like an ancient artifact that has resurfaced to teach us something new...the fact that we have an original copy just adds to the allure...

Here, in a story about everywhere else in the world, is romantic Americana that will one day be history. These pages themselves are adventure....Many a story is called a saga. This is one...when Osa married Martin she married his destiny. It was to be always a-going, always-a seeing. Home was to be a schooner in the South Seas, a Raft in Borneo, a tent on safari, a hut in the black Congo, sometimes a dash of Paris, interludes of an apartment on Fifth Avenue - but always a place to be going from.
No matter where or how, through it all, the telling is no more travelogue and picture album, but rather the intimate tale of two lives - boy and girl from Kansas, pushing their horizons into new places. The bigger story is of their life, sometimes to be read between the lines, and not quite so much of the world they went to see as of the hearts they took with them.
Dream big,
Brittany & Scott

The perfect gift for the two of you! WOW!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered the book on Amazon. I am really enjoying your adventure.
ReplyDeleteI would love to find a girl who would like to travel with me. In fact, there are not so many people who are ready to pack up and go somewhere at any time. I'm currently chatting with a couple of girls at https://datinger.uk/london-dating-sites/, and I really hope that with one of them I will be able to do this, because I wouldn't want to travel alone.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think that every wedding needs to have a good preparation, especially clothes and hairstyle because it really helps to have a better look. One day I also decided to recommend for my friend to make a good hairstyle on a wedding. You may also read the article about it on this website https://lovehairstyles.com/silver-hair/. Here you can see silver hair. I hope you like this information. That's essential for me as well.
ReplyDeleteIf you really love adventure and surfing to be specific, then you should read this Top 5 Best Surfing Spots in North America. As a surfer, I recommend all those spots.
