"We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey." ~ John Franklin
We work as ecotourism guides (as well as biologist and boat captain) often on the BC Coast, but also as far ranging as the Arctic and Antarctic. We have an insatiable curiousity for the planet; all its hidden gems and what makes them tick. That and our love of sailing is what inspired us to sail around the Pacific in Narama, our tough and pretty little sailboat.
We found this sign on a dusty back road in the hills above San Blas. Why it was there, who knows, but it is a quote worth translating.
"When all the trees have died, the wildlife and fish destroyed, and we can not drink the water, maybe then, we will understand that we can not eat money."
