Hi friends, I’ve been helping master canoe sailor Sanakoli John with organising his first ever travel abroad (5 countries!).

The institutions that has invited him to come and speak has been super generous. But still, undertaking such travel is very expensive.

That’s why I have started this fundraiser so he has some pocket change and can perform to the fullest when he is representing his culture and country.

Master sailor Sanakoli John, has been invited to speak at the Fifth International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC5) in Vancouver February 2023.

But that’s just the beginning.

Our interpid sailor will continue with a delegation of Western Pacific navigators and vessel builders to Berlin as guests of honor at a conference held by Potsdam University:

Te Ara Vaka Moana: Ancestral Voyaging Vessels and Navigation in Oceania”.
A public event that take place at the Humboldt Forum Berlin on February 16 and 17. 2023. (Sign up Link) 

And here comes the best part: I’ll be there to meet Sanakoli! We haven’t seen each other since we ended our circumnavigation in November 2017 – Super exciting.

Together we’ll be speaking about our new documentary SAILAU and Sanakoli will also do a presentation on Kula trade, and speak about his traditional canoe building school Pasana Group.

But thats’s not all, Sanakoli and the rest of the delegation continues to Greenwich UK by invitation by the Royal Institute of Navigation to present at the Royal Maritime Museum, (Sign up Link)

It has been a long haul putting this great journey together, with efforts from PNG Foreign Ministry, Potsdam University, IMPAC5 Coordinators and not least Dr Mimi George who is the unstoppable engine behind it all.

I can’t wait to follow Sanakoli’s journey on Facebook and I suggest you do the same: facebook.com/pasanagroup

I’ve been thinking… how to share all the wacky and crazy experiences I’ve had living in Australia’s Northern Territory?

By making a comic book of course! 44 pages of jokes more or less based on true experiences in the NT.

The book will be available across the NT and conventional online bookstores from mid December. And I will be signing copies at The Bookshop Darwin on 15 Dec, between 10 and 12PM

You can already now pre-order you copy from thorstore.dk .

Hey hey, I have teamed up with Sam Druce from Reel Wire Productions and Red Kangaroo Books in a new series of pastry indulgence and book reviews. It’s all about rewarding yourself – You deserve it!
