This Friday, 6/26, we hear a 4th African story from Kendy. She is moving, "zig-zagging" down the East interior through many national parks and game reserves - finding herself and fellow travelers in some surprising, sometimes funny, animal situations in camp. This is not your usual traveler.
Next week: Kendy and tracking lions.
David, Zack, Mango on board the Shearwater have begun their journey around the world. They have successfully crossed From West Palm Beach, FL to the Bahamas - "Grand Bahama Bank....an immense area of blue blue waters in depths of less than 10 feet......will hopefully pass the position where we aborted our first attempt due to the engine failure." (This quote from their recent posting on www.mangoandme.net -- check it out - includes interactive google earth map!! to help follow along on their journey.)
Up to now we have been in easy contact with David Pollitt and Zack via cell phone while they were docked. Tomorrow on Spinning Tales at around 5pm, now out of cell phone range, we try contact via Satelite (SAT) phone. Will this really work? Tune in to find out and catch up on how their crossing from West Palm Beach, FL to the Bahamas went and where they might be at the time. Plans are to sail to Columbia - still?
Jaime De Angulo story at 5:30. 1949 recordings of Indian Tales, also known as Old Time Tales.
And of course the music bringing to life the stories, harmonies & rythms of people spreading out before us - of their lives brought across the seas and lands to this northern part of the Americas.

Stories on Spinning Tales...
Last week we had the 2nd of a series of stories by Kendy. She is one of those few travelers who follows her "heart space" - has a few plans but travels according to what life she comes across wherever she happens to be in her journey. With this kind of traveling the possibilities are countless.
On the show she is telling us about 8 months of traveling she did in the interior of East Africa from Egypt to South Africa. Along the way she describes the people, cultures, places, things she sees and experiences and how she feels about this way of traveling. - spontanteity at its best - or what I call spontaneous immersion traveling.
Her first story, two shows ago, detailed the end of her journey when she contracted bilharzia (sp?), went home to Australia, and cured herself. Her sickness became her journey. Last show she talked about following along the Nile, climbing up Mt. Sinai and camping in the desert with Bedouins and their camels. What she sees and experiences are not the expected tourist sights and activities. Hers are wholly different, sensual and close to the life of the peoples/places around her.
This week, Friday 6/12, we will have a 3rd story by Kendy. I am not sure what it will be about but it may be her travels by boat along Lake Tanganyika.
Each week we are also following David Pollitt on board the Shearwater, a 47 foot cattamaran with faithful crew Mango as they prepare (and currently search for crew) for a 2 to 3 year sailing journey around the world. He is docked presently in West Palm Beach. You can find out more by going to his blog site www.mangoandme.net or

You will be able to follow his journey via an interactive map on that site.
Stay tuned.
