Tres Hombres

…. more than 2 weeks at sea. (by Katharina Hübner)

Traveling through infinite scenes even though they may look the same on the surface.

Bizarre images of ships that look like blockhouses… sometimes seeing only their silhouette in the fog or in the middle of the sunset painted in the deepest orange and dark blue of the water.
Dolphins playing in the water… jellyfish… glowing plankton. All the magnificent shapes of the sea and the sky.

I'm happy to be joining the Tres Hombres for a while. Where time is taking turns in its own way.
Alongside the crew and the other trainees. Learning. Listening. Taking it all in. Deepening knowledge and
learning so many new things. Knots and ropes songs and jokes. And that “real sailors always look up”.

The crew members explained procedures patiently over and over again. Sharing their knowledge and
passion. It's a good place to be. I feel at home on the water and on this ship.

Surrendering to nature's subtle and strong language. Connecting to all that is and moving along with her.
Learning to be part of her poem at sea again. We only have this one planet. It's more than time to slow down and grow backwards in all the expanding and racing of the economy.
Focus on the old ways again that knew better how to live in rhythm with nature. Respect and protect her and all life that is.
I hope that many more will be inspired by this nature-friendly way of traveling and “growing business”.
It relaxes the soul and eases the mind. If all our actions guarantee to keep a healthy environment we must be full of good life as well cause we are part of it all.

Thinking a lot of my grandmas these days and all my siblings I am also looking forward to home on earth.
Seeing my beloved forests, rivers, animals and human family…curious how it will feel stepping and dancing on firm ground again.
And a big part of my heart that always loved traveling is looking forward to exploring life at sea soon again and sailing off to yet unknown shores and waters… to the world's secrets and beauty unfolding to the ones who want to see and feel her.
To new and ancient stories to be told.
