Ne parliamo poco, lo ammetto, ma anche da soli immaginerete che non è tutto oro ciò che luccica. Essere in tanti è stupendo, perché puoi contare su qualcuno di cui ti fidi, puoi lasciare le redini della barca, puoi condividere momenti leggeri e intensi e coltivare rapporti in modo genuino. Allo stesso modo, quando siamo da soli abbiamo più flessibilità per gestire le giornate lavorative, per gestire la nostra relazione e ritagliare del tempo per noi. Di entrambe le situazioni amiamo cogliere l’aspetto che può insegnarci qualcosa (che può non corrispondere con quello positivo, per intenderci). Durante questi giorni di attesa forzata a Madeira vogliamo dedicarci proprio a questo. A ritrovare il nostro equilibrio, cucinare dosi ridimensionate di cibo, staccare l’acqua quando andiamo a dormire (per preservare i fili elettrici) perché sappiamo che nella notte non servirà a nessuno. Tante piccole cose, insomma. Che poi sono quelle più importanti. Come rendersi conto di aver sbloccato un nuovo livello in questo gioco lungo una vita intera. Il nostro si chiamerà “Condividere ciò che ci spaventa, specialmente quando si tratta di qualcosa di positivo”. Perché lo sappiamo tutti, essere felici spaventa più di ogni altra cosa, ma questa non è una scusa valida :) Come sempre buon vento Camilla

https://www.gofundme.com/jennytomas-lost-their-homeinmaria Hurricane Maria Destroyed My Sister Home: On September 20th, the eye of Hurricane Maria, a category 5 storm, hit Vieques, Puerto Rico, destroying my sister’s home (boat) and the majority of her belongings. Jenny Smith and her family (Tomas, Milan (3 yrs old) & Taleia (1 yr old) lived aboard their catamaran sailboat, NautiMermaid, when Hurricane Maria hit leaving them without a home. For several years, Jenny & Tomas worked tirelessly towards actualizing their dream of starting their own business on the island of Vieques -- – when it all shattered before their eyes overnight. Their planned source of income was lost after being on the island for 2 short months prior to the hurricane’s destruction. Thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of my sister during this journey. It has meant so much to her receiving all the positive messages of support from all over the world. Thank you for subscribing and following their journey on her youtube channel The Cat and The Mermaid. These videos have become even more special because they documented this small slice of time where they got to live aboard a catamaran before it was destroyed. Luckily Tomas’s Aunt has a house where they were all able to stay to safely ride out the storm. They are currently residing there with Tomas’s mother and brother (who had the roof ripped off of their home). Tomas has rigged the solar panels from the boat onto the house, so they can run the refrigerator during the day using solar, and run the generator only at night. Like many isolated areas of Puerto Rico, they still do not have consistent running water, hot water for showers, AC, power, and must wait in long gas lines (7+ hours) – in order to obtain the gas needed to keep generators running. Communication is still down on the majority of the island – cellular service & internet is still only intermittently available only from a handful of spots. Additionally, it's mostly a cash only society right now and the bank lines have been monstrous with ATMs only working intermittently. It is heartbreaking to see the devastation that has occurred to this community and worrisome that this island is almost completely dependent on tourism for their local economy. Tomas was born & raised in Vieques; it was part of my sister’s dream to be a part of this island’s community. Witnessing all the destruction that has occurred, the two of them have become dedicated to the rebuilding efforts. Let’s help them, with whatever you can give, to regain what my sister’s family has lost and to encourage them that they shouldn’t give up on following their dreams. ________________________________________________________ CNN Footage of my sister's boat: http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/28/us/vieques-cut-off-after-hurricane-maria/index.html NautiMermaid is shown from 0:57 - to 1:13 in this CNN video: http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2017/09/28/bill-weir-vieques-island-destroyed-dnt.cnn/video/playlists/bill-weir-in-puerto-rico/ The Cat & The Mermaid - the videos of them working to make the dream of living aboard a reality: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwkC0CouHTUieYD03D_xjBQ/videos ___________________________________________________________
