Sanity Will Never Be in the Way of the Daredevil Me
The next morning once I opened my eyes my first thought was “Where is my map? Where could I go today?” And this started another conversation in my mind between the spontaneous me and the wisdom “Oh no, today you aren’t going anywhere, but straight to Sydney! You have to make it pass Sydney if you want to catch the ferry in couple of days!” “Yes, I know, but I just have a look where I could stop on the way” “No, you know everything takes you at least twice as long as you think and you are always late!” “No, it’s not so bad… Just a little bit…” As usually sanity and rationality had no chances to convince the enthusiastic and daredevil me. I started looking at the map and decided to ride along the coast on the Ocean Drive and follow the Tourist Drive 10 to Kew. “It will take you at least double as long to get there as it would on the highway…” – whispered the sanity, but… nope, no chances, nothing could put me off my idea.

On the Prowl at Kangaroo Island. Top Story - March 2022.
Kangaroo Island, a 96 mile sliver of land 70 miles south of Adelaide, Australia, is a bit of a misnomer. Sure, there are lots of kangaroos around but the island is a nature preserve, often called Australia’s Galapagos, with hundreds of other animals as well - echidnas, possums, penguins and koalas - sharing the area with 4,500 permanent islanders who farm or service the tourist trade. Connected to the mainland by air and ferry, the Island is a favorite vacation spot for Aussies and foreigners. Animals may have the run of the place but people live here too.

Unsolved mystery of the Mary Celeste
A ship called the Mary Celeste departed the New York harbor on November 7,1872.Along sailed was a crew of eight men including the ships captain Benjamin S Briggs, his wife, Sarah, and their 2-year-old daughter, Sophia. Nothing was found of the crew members instead of the ship found on December 4th 1872 adrift about 400 miles east of the Azores with no signs of life. There are a lot of speculations as what happened to them from flying saucers to the Bermuda triangle even as far as a sea creatures. Which I might consider the fact of, to keep the fact from fiction, the ship was carrying a large amounts of alcohol that is very probable to the demise of the ship sense later evidence can prove the theory. What happened to the crew? I would like to express my thoughts of the sea creature theory. Now less than 80%of the oceans have been explored and with that back in the 1800s people thought the world was flat. This planet has seemed it all through the dinosaurs and more so is it possible that not all sea creatures from the dinosaur age completely disappeared. For example, whales and sharks have survived for over a million of years through a changing and chaotic earth why not a creature like Tusoteuthis was a giant squid nearly equal in size to those that ply the oceans today—with their tentacles stretched out, the ancient cephalopods may have measured 25 to 35 feet (8 to 11 meters) long or just a giant squid that we see today deep in the Atlantic oceans. Which may or may not have attacked the ship at that time but the kraken is one of those creatures where may or may not have been the culprit. All I know is something happened to these people and with all mysteries they can be solved with time. The Mary Celeste was heading to Genoa, Italy on that route the ship had to have crossed across the Atlantic ocean. In the late 1800s the stories of the kraken was mostly found around Norway ,but also around the coast the North Atlantic. Giant squids or “the Kraken ”can be found in oceans around the world at depths of at least 2,950 feet, but their exact geographic range is unknown. There might be a more scientific explanation, the Gulf Stream is part of a clockwise-rotating system of currents in the North Atlantic known as the North Atlantic Gyre. The waters that feed the Gulf Stream begin flowing off the west coast of Northern Africa. Under the influence of the Trade Winds, the North Equatorial Current drifts towards the Caribbean Sea. During the travels of the Mary Celeste with three different cycles across the sea there is one major site that happens every year from that side of the ocean and that's hurricane season. Back of October 28 1872 the oceans were probably sucked in the storm and the waves were unmistakably massive. For the ship to found intact is completely possible if the ship was kept at a high speed to go through the harsh waves. A few months later a passing British ship called Dei Gratia spotted the Mary Celeste at full sail and adrift about 400 miles east of the Azores. Which is on route to Italy just the crew didn’t make it to there destination. In closing, I will leave you to do your own research as to what happened to the crew of the Mary Celeste and I will leave it up to you for your ideas and more.
