It is just day 2 and I am already starting to give up. I had to endure 3hours in heavy rain on board the Uto Ni Yalo. I found out today I am the youngest crew on board. This blog my little princess is not about me though. It's about Manasa, a young deaf crew member that has been sailing on board the canoe since 2012. He has sailed as far as Vanuatu, Solomon and Samoa with the Uto. The 28 year old lad doesn't let his condition be a barrier. He learned how to sail just by observing. On days when he is not sailing, he works on Leleuvia Island Resort as a welder. To me this is what a warrior and Champ looks like. Dearest Athaliah, this young man is a testimony that the only limitations in life is yourself. If he can conquer the waves and barriers in life so can we.
