Apacolypso

Apacolypso is a Pacific Islander inspired outrigger sailing canoe, made from aluminum pontoon boat parts, bamboo and various other locally obtainable items in their native American south, all lashed together with spit and vinegar. Her two crew are about to embark on a voyage of discovery, circumnavigating Florida via the “Saltwater Paddling Trail”, from Pensacola to Fort Clinch State Park, a distance of 1,515 miles.
However, Apocolypso is far more than the sum of her parts:
She is a vessel of transformation for civilized men and women who wish to explore and reconnect with the ebb and flow of natural law. It is a laboratory of earthly experience, floating above an estuary of life, the most productive ecosystem on the planet. She is a ship, a transactional embodiment between two natural entities, a partnership, a friendship, a relationship, registered and limitedly liable via a citizenship.
I will be seriously following this voyage of poets, happily discarding and embracing their two citizenships. Henry David Thoreau lives on.
