So Nova invited all our friends and community for a ritual.

We cover the old name of the boat, Maria Rosa, uh, on the life ring, wheelhouse, the dinghy, and I had this idea based on a old mantra in four directions.

Links are in the show notes

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

I could never have expected that 30 years later, I would marry one.

Hello, I'm Nova.

I was raised by my grandmother and she was from the island of Sulawesi.

Her parents lived in a stilt house by the water and used to jump into the sea every day.

But I grew up in the mountains and afraid of the sea.

With Arka Kinari, my dream is not about the sea as much as the coastal peoples and cultures.

On the contrary, we were working with forms as old as recorded history in this part of the world.

The word wayang means shadow.
