Folie a Deux - Back to school again – leg 11 Cocos to Mauritius – day 1




Back to school again – leg 11 Cocos to Mauritius – day 1
wow so much has happened in this first day, it took a while to figure where to start, so we’ll break this into a couple of segments.

We lost our electronic wind instruments this morning at 5am. We have a windex pointer at the top of the mast which is list at night. Our helm is pretty open, yet we had a lot of rain squalls, so the top helm canopy was closed. It is amazing how good technology can make one complacent. And how broken technology can help one to appreciate those around you.

The World ARC provides a superb learning environment. 1. Everyone is supportive and wants to help each other. 2. The collective knowledge on important subjects is large. 3. And old technology of an open vhf communication provides a level of transparency that has help us learn so very much.

Mind you, it is a bit of eaves dropping, which happens in any good learning environment [like in the school cafeteria, library, bathrooms, or sometimes even classrooms]…..any open/transparent environment!

That open dialogue, eavesdropping, and sincere desire of all to help, assisted us in repairing the electronic wind instruments. We learn from each other. And there is so much left to learn!
