A Cyclone in Mozambique and Sailboat Brick House Sailed towards it??

A cyclone in Mozambique and Sailboat Brick House sailed right towards it?

Brick House Departed Tanzania in mid March when we saw a weather forecast on Predictwind, of Tropical Cyclone Idai. We departed to sail down the Mozambique Channel, nearly 1700 miles.  Why would we do this? Then Cyclone Kenneth hit…

Find out where, when, WHY and how, in this video…

The Mozambique cyclone hit Beira, just 100 miles north of where we anchored, in Bazaruto, just days before. We sailed through the remnants of the cyclone in up to 50 knots. Once we arrived safely…another cyclone, Cyclone Kenneth wipped up over Mayotte, Comoros, and then hit Tanzania and Mozambique. Lucky for us, we dodged all the cyclones, but not the remnants of these storms at sea!

Thaipusam Celebration – Very Painful, Very gruesome. True Religious Devotion for Hindus

Leave a comment

Patrick Childress makes another great video. He explains the meaning behind the Thaipusam Celebration, what they are doing as they make a public spectacle out of kavadi and piercings and the long long walk up to the temple. His photography and his wife’s videography (this video only) as they watch Thaipusam shows everything in detail, and shows the emotion of this true expression of religious devotion for a Hindu, in Penang, Malaysia.

If you want to know more, here are 2 books specific to Thaipusam and it’s meaning. As foreigners and Christians, we can only skim the surface of these Hindu rituals

Book 1

Book 2
