Welcome to our Slog (Sailing Log....get it?!) We will be keeping you up to date and hopefully posting a message every couple days or so here, so check back often! We hope to let you all experience through our eyes the dream of the open ocean and a sailing vessel, experiencing new cultures, new friends, new adventures, new possibilities of reward and contribution in our life. Come aboard, shed your shoes, dance barefoot across the decks, adrift upon Mother Ocean. Fair winds and following seas.

Labyrinth Meditation 6.1.08

For my birthday, we went out looking for 2 geocaches in the area - one was called 'Brothers' which we had looked for yesterday and couldn't find (but were bound & determined to find it!) and another was called 'Mother tree'. We looked again for the Brothers cache and couldn't find it so we headed down the 4 mile Bob Jones Memorial Bike Trail that winds around & ends up down at the beach. At Mother tree (called that because of the unusual shape and 'features' it boasts) I found the cache in seconds & we continued down the path to the intersection. We found a little high-end market & went inside looking for a bottle of wine. Luckily, they had a great selection & we ended up with a Santa Barbara wine called "Sextant"...fitting for us.



Anyway, on the way back to the campground, we walked right past a place called "Labyrinth Meditation Garden" and I remembered reading about a geocache in the park....but I didn't have the coordinates! Not to fear...a quick call to my friend Sue and we had them (Thanks Sue!!). We found the cache after looking for a while and then stopped to take time to admire the beautiful garden. It had a large labyrinth in the center & beautiful trees, flowers, & plants all around. If we hadn't had known & stopped to look for the geocache, we would have missed it. If you ever get the chance...it's a beautiful spot to sit & enjoy.
