DREAMS
The adventures over the 13 days spent in Morocco were non-stop from the moment we arrived in the middle of the night to Marrakesh Airport and loaded our kit onto the van for the three-hour drive through the darkness to Boujmaa’s home in Moulay. Although we had been travelling 50 hours from Maui, I couldn’t sleep. My imagination was running wild wondering what the daylight would bring in 4 hours time. The house was dimly lit with candlelight glowing on beautiful silver teapots. I imagined sharing a cup of tea with the group in the morning before sharing waves together in the afternoon. I finally fell asleep right as the sun was coming up, then seemingly moments later, was softly awoken by Sarah Hauser saying “Sam, it’s 2 in the afternoon and we are going into town. Would you like to join?” I couldn’t believe I had slept in so much but of course I needed it. That afternoon we checked into our tented campsite on the beach right in front of where the contest was to be held. Beautiful heavy rugs lined the floors of the camp and each guest had his own cocoon of a tent large enough to stand in; warm, quiet and out of the loving wind, which would guide the way for our event to come.
