REAL MAGIC
Every time a rain cloud goes over Exit Only with the sun shinning, I look up into the sky and say, “Go ahead. Make my day.”
Then magically a rainbow appears.
Making rainbows appear just might be my superpower. Or not.
I gotta admit that rainbows are day changers.
When I feel down in the dumps, and a rainbow appears, life is suddenly better. There are smiles all around.
These days we need more rainbows with smiles all around.
The salubrious effects of rainbows are mysterious.
Rainbows are state breakers that interrupt habitual patterns of thought.
No matter what you were thinking before the rainbow attacked, you instantly think about something else - rainbows. That’s real power.
Rainbows are more powerful than Zoloft, and anytime you want to feel better, all you need to do is look at a picture of a rainbow that you took on your sailing voyage around planet ocean.
Instantly you feel better because you put a rainbow into your mind.
I realize that I am not a psychiatrist, but I am prescribing a dose of at least one rainbow a day during the Covid 19 pandemic.
If one rainbow doesn’t get the job done, increase the dose.
WARNING:
There are no known negative side effects to rainbows. Overdosage does not require any treatment.
That’s all I have to say about that.
Awesome music video that captures the essence of what it's like to sail offshore in a catamaran around the world when conditions are less than perfect. David Abbott from Too Many Drummers sings the vocals, and he also edited the footage from our Red Sea adventures. This is the theme song from the Red Sea Chronicles.
Sailing up the Red Sea is not for the faint of heart. From the Bab al Mandeb to the Suez Canal, adventures and adversity are in abundance. If you take things too seriously, you just might get the Red Sea Blues.
If you like drum beats, and you like adventure, then have a listen to the Red Sea Chronicles Trailer.
Flying fish assault Exit Only in the middle of the night as we sail through the Arabian Gulf from the Maldives to Oman. And so begins our Red Sea adventures.
Sailing through Pirate Alley between Yemen and Somalia involves calculated risk. It may not be Russian Roulette, but it is a bit of a worry. Follow Team Maxing Out as they navigate through Pirate Alley.
Stopping in Yemen was just what the doctor ordered. We refueled, repaired our alternator, and we made friends with our gracious Yemeni hosts. We also went to Baskins Robbins as a reward for surviving Pirate Alley.
After you survive Pirate Alley, you must sail through the Gate of Sorrows (Bab Al Mandab) at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. The Gate of Sorrows lived up to its name with fifty knots of wind and a sandstorm that pummeled Exit Only for two days. Life is good.
Although I like the feel of a paper book in my hand, I love trees even more. When people purchase an eBook, they actually save trees and save money as well. Ebooks are less expensive and have no negative impact on the environment. All of Dr. Dave's books are available at Save A Tree Bookstore. Visit the bookstore today and start putting good things into your mind. It's easy to fill your mind with positive things using eBooks. No matter where you are or what you are doing, you can pull out your smart phone or tablet and start reading. You can even use electronic highlighters and make annotations in your eBooks just like paper books.
