Did you know that Chlorella
was deemed fit for farming to counter the world
food crisis – as it was felt as a perfect substitute to battle
food (nutrition) shortage? German scientists as well as their Japanese
counterparts did extensive research on Chlorella and found that it has
wonderful medicinal properties along with the rich power house of nutrients
that it was. Chlorella is perhaps the only unique algae that has anti-viral
properties, aids in digestion and also is known to have anti-cancer benefits.
It is also a potent anti-scurvy medicine because it is rich in Vitamin C too!
Even if you’re suffering from inflammation, Chlorella is a great medicine to
heal even that! It is wonderful to know how a little living cell could have
such an amalgamation of nature’s most wonderful health-aiding
agents and thankful are we to them who found Chlorella!

Great metaphor Roz, I’m sure I’m going to borrow it in the future so I’ve made a mental note to acknowlegde both you and Anne D!

It’s all about the timing. Fingers crossed for a nutty solution.

Roz,

As a former stroke, I enjoyed reading your post. When you are out on the ocean, you are in the stroke seat rowing hard, but you are also the coxswain. Your “voice” is overheard by all of us from that far from off place. You are the voice that provides us with motivation, and in your special way, your words (and your book!) are inspirational as you urge us to be the best that we can be. Good luck cox, take care of that person in your stroke seat. Best wishes.

While I believe Roz and her followers do their part to protect the delicate oceans on this big blue ball sometimes nature takes control and messes things up.
Have you read about the Antarctic ice berg that has split in half and the havoc it may wreak on the oceans? It doesn’t sound good. You can read about it here, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35600197/ns/us_news-environment/ . I wonder if it will have any effect on the currents that you’ll be dealing with on the next leg of your row.

Love the picture Roz. In rowing, the brains of the boat is the coxswain, in sailing the tactician has that duty of strategic calls,sounds like what we need here is a snacktician! Get those nuts on board! Lots of joy to you today. Amyinaustin

Well, OK, but the USPS website *says* 6-10 days. Has anyone got actual experience?

And Roz – ask about customs clearance now. You may be able to get a pass if the nuts are sequestered until your departure and handed to you at that point, but you’d need to arrange in advance for it to happen when you arrive laden.

Well put, Joan, about the shipping to Tarawa! Am increasingly resigned to necessity of having to carry it there in checked luggage, and just hope that I can get it though customs in Fiji. And that I can manage to carry a 60lb suitcase of nuts, as well as all my rawfood crackers and assorted pieces of kit for my boat….

I’d rather think of the cox as being something like “life purpose” or “intuition” rather than just me.

@John Kay, from what I gathered reading “Sex Lives of Cannibals,” shipping something to Tarawa is entirely do-able, but having something actually arrive in Tarawa that same year is a much more difficult achievement.

Roz, I think you’ve got to apply some sort of Douglas Adams-style space/time juggling and be both stroke and cox in your metaphor.

I like the scenario of Roz being in the stroke seat! When I read John Kay’s comment, I thought at first that he was being rude about the blog, then realised that he is talking about shipping nuts to Tarawa – presumably for Roz to eat whilst in the rowing seat. Rita.

Nuts! The USPS will ship up to 20 pounds to Tarawa for $53.15. Does that help? (usps.com)
