Subject: Second Ocean Gifting “cruisade”  
I thought I should get this out before I embark on my next one, which is tommorrow.

2nd Ocean cruisade

At the end of January 2008 we embarked on the “Royal Mail Ship St.  
Helena” in order to cover the stretch from Cape Town up the Atlantic  
coast to Walvis Bay in Namibia.  
The St. Helena is a combined passenger and cargo ship that regularly  
serves the outlying British Possession St. Helena, the Island were not  
only Napoleon but also the Zulu King Cetswayo were held as political  
prisoners.

We took some 180 TBs (as much as you can carry on an airplane  
without paying for overweight) and other water gifts with us in order  
to be able to put out at least one gift per every 10kms.  
The ship had a problem with it’s radar and our departure was therefore  
delayed by one night.  
We should later discover that that was a blessing in disguise because  
it saved us one night watch.  
We were only going one way and that meant that in order to cover the  
whole distance we had to stay up for two nights.

Of course we did that intermittently, Friederike taking the first  
turn until 2 am while I slept for 4 hours from 10 and then I took over  
from 2 am into sunrise, which was fun.

The crowd on board was “very British” and very 65+, so we stayed  
mostly to ourselves, basically spending 90% of the time in the  
deckchair reading. Of course we made sure that we were close to the  
railing and could drop our stuff totally inconspicuously.

Location is important!

Only when we took alternating turns to stay out in the drizzle at  
night while every normal tourist was sleeping, did we arouse some  
curiosity with the crew and one female officer became very inquisitive  
at 4 in the morning the second night when she found me in the drizzle  
on my deckchair after having observed Friederike in the same position  
until 2.  
I think she was the security officer.  
I told her I found the cabin air a bit stuffy and I’m sure she thought  
I must have some marital dispute with Friederike, to spend the time out  
there.  
So, luckily the inbred British respect for other peoples privacy  
prevailed over her professional curiosity here, but I’m sure another  
night on deck would have provoked serious scrutiny.

So, I guess the cruise model only works well if you go back the same  
way and can fill in the gaps on the way back as we did on our Bazaruto  
cruise in 2006.  
Or you have to accept those gaps and just be happy to throw out  
orgonite at “normal” times.

If you remember our first Namibia tour “Operation desert rain” you  
know how puzzled we were about the coastal desert that is basically  
covering all of Namibia’s coast line. Even though unusual rainfalls  
have been recorded all over Namibia since our tour in September 04  
including some flash floods in desert areas, the desert is still a  
desert. I wonder if our sea gifting effort will be able to change this  
anomaly on a more permanent basis.  
Despite all the learned explanations from people schooled in  
conventional metereology, it doesn’t go into my head why all these  
clouds are hanging over the sea, just offshore and yet almost no  
precipitation reaches the coastal desert.  
We spent 2 nights at our friends’ in Walvis Bay, reconnecting after  
3 years where we only had occasional email and phone contact.  
They subscribe to a bunch of Namibian newspapers and I was amazed to  
find a lot more in-depth reporting on the weather situation in Southern  
Africa there than in the South African Newspapers.  
While weather data for South Africa are readily available on the  
internet, that is not so for the neighbouring countries. Here we only  
get sporadic news reports about extreme weather situations like  
droughts or floodings, often with a very manipulative slant.  
All the articles I found in Namibia confirmed abundant rainfalls in  
the wider Zambesi catchment area. Most of the articles were based on  
reports of NGOs (Non Governmental Aid Oganisaitions) working in  
those areas who have a natural interest to “cry wolf”, meaning their  
funding depends on finding ever new miseries to report to the donating  
public.  
So it is no wonder that they are reporting these rainfalls as  
something negative.  
There has been flooding of some low lying areas, but these are the  
floodplains and wetlands that used to always be seasonally flooded.

One more insightful article quoted a district governor from Zambia  
saying that people stayed in these areas deliberately because the had  
become “addicted” to foreign donor money and relief goods. So staying  
in these areas where their ancestors would only graze their cattle in  
the dry season was actually making good business sense for these people.

I noticed earlier, that the “Mail and Guardian” and “The Star” were  
using the same picture of a woman and her child at the somewhat flooded  
river banks of the Zambezi (nothing unnormal about that) to underpin  
their weak story of catastrophic flooding in Zimbabwe and Zambia.

The general trend of the last decades has been one of increasing  
dessication and desert forming in Southern Africa, before we started  
reversing that.  
So my impression is that these articles are a desperate attempt of  
subliminal “propaganda against rain”, if you know what I mean.  
This is actually the environmental healing that has to happen and  
it’s happening on a large scale.  
In South Africa itself rains have also been abundant and farmers are  
expecting a bumper harvest.  
As we are entering the autumn season now, it is astonishing to see  
how green everything still is.  
Normally the surroundings of Johannesburg look like a dry savannah  
at this time of the year. But not this time. Instead of yellow-ochre  
and the red of the soil, you see al different hues of juicy green. And  
this is being reported from virtually all of Southern Africa, including  
Botswana, Namibia and of course Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Zambia.  
My feeling is that the Zambezi tour in Easter 2007 facilitated this  
massive and profound turnaround after a short spell of relative drought  
from January to March 2007.  
If you have followed my reports, you will remember that that short  
drought after a few years of ever increasing rainfalls motivated us to  
take up water gifting on a massive scale and I think the results  
confirm this decision.
