My wasabi plants are taking off, growing up and starting the bear some seeds. With their current size I think I'm going to pull one out and give it a try soon.

"We unloaded from the tender onto a white sandy beach where there was a pontoon-of-sorts, two men sweeping, a patrol boat and a lot of hermit-crabs. We tiptoed into the crystal clear water, in the lee of the curving coconut palms......... followed by some of the boys carrying bloody meat scraps. As soon as the blood began dripping into the water, the sharks were there. They shot past and around us with jaws snapping and tails flicking in every direction. As more blood and meat hit the water, their numbers increased and we were standing right in the middle of a feeding frenzy. Some of us snorkelled and the others just looked down through the water`s surface into the tangle of cruising killers! The sharks were black-tipped youngsters, but the profile of a baby shark and a full-grown adult is exactly the same, and when we put our heads into the water and scanned around, there was little to tell our brains that these babies were harmless! I kept my fingers curled into my palms......" (Joanna Simpson) https://www.thesevenseas.net/raja-ampat/

- Dunkerque to Cherbourg. It took us 36 hours to move our home 185 nautical miles — almost entirely under sail, with the engine running for just 3 hours 🎉 Living on a sailboat means home is wherever we drop anchor… or dock in a new marina. The view changes, the neighbors drift by, but the creaking of the rig, the warmth of our tiny galley, and the sound of Anker snoring on the floor – that’s our constant ✨ And that’s something Signe, especially, has been longing for — after moving almost every year since childhood, changing addresses like seasons. Together we’ve moved five times in the last six years. So having a home that stays with us, wherever we go, brings a sense of calm we’ve both been craving. We’re not just traveling. We’re taking our home with us, one nautical mile at a time. ⛵💙
