It's been a busy few months - as the lack of posts on this blog indicates! Alas, I've got the ball rolling on articles from my expedition and the first one was published last week.
It's not so much focussing on my sailing adventure but is a light hearted wrap up of my time on Maui. I wont say any more about it - just read on if you want to know why I'd really recommend visiting this Hawai'ian paradise...

Bringing it Home
I went up home to beautiful Northland last weekend and was reminded that you don't have to go far to find secluded and stunning beaches on this island. Here's a glimpse at my slice of paradise...
I was also reminded that it doesn't matter where you are in this world, rubbish always finds away to creep in and occupy spaces where you should only leave footprints.

This is what I collected from about a 20m square area of my beach...
It's amazing what you find once you start looking. I took a bag to the beach and at the same time as picking up rubbish I collected some pretty shells - it was an easy way to bring the rubbish home, get rid of it, and still have collected some pretty things to add to my collection of shell rings and paua.

While I was getting all artistic taking snaps of the rubbish (art + rubbish, hmm!?) I couldn't help but notice how luscious my parents vege garden is looking. Check it out...
