Some friends and I are going to build a gnarly 20 x 30 feet drift wood house on a secluded beach in Northern Ventura. It'll be like those reality make over shows, where we start at 7 am, and finish by sundown with a giant drift wood fire. The only materials we're bringing are a truckload of palm frawns for the roof, some long nails, and lots of rope to tie the logs together, oh, and a few hatchets to square or notch the logs so they fit together snug. It'll have a pitched A frame roof, that should be stong enough to support a little attic, where we can sleep, or store the surf boards. Yes, I love drift wood, its free, its gnarly, and you don't have to tear down any forests to get it, its got a whole history behind it way before you touch it, and did I mention its free! We're gonna painstakingly put bamboo poles for the walls, and maybe more frawns on the inside, so the wind doesn't blow through. I'd like to do a whole series of huts along the coast line, but we'll see. The very beach that we'll be making the drift wood hut, is where the local Native Chumash constructed drift wood canoes and paddled to the Channel Islands and back. Their word for drift wood is the same name for their canoes; Tomol. The name of an island in Tahitian is Motu, my name trunkated is ToMu (tOny mUrphy) my new Tiki farm mug's smile comes from the Tuamotu Islands. Yes, a stretch, but I love fabricating connections like that. TeaKey... yes, I love the beach comber hat... I purchased it at Oceanic Arts for a mere $3 bucks. At the time when I went there, that was all the money I had, and wanted to walk away with the left side of the store. Polynesiac... I was just thinking about you on my way home from school tonight. I've got a new surf friend from school who's into diving, and snorkling. And after seeing Life Aquatic, I can't stop thinking about going. Are you gonna go to the Santa Monica Travel Fest Tiki fest? adrift will have a booth, and I'll squeeze in. I can't wait for Doug Nason's slide show. http://www.travelstoreusa.com/pages/337/VacationFest_2005.html
