expedition into the South Pacific. Join us as we follow the trail of the mysterious Moirae to discover and observe first hand The Thread of
Awareness unfolding within This Magic Sea. |

Frederique Lesne (mostly called Freddy) is Captain of
the Research Vessel Moira.
Born in French Morocco (North Africa), Freddy is a
delightful mixture of humanity, mostly French, with Mongolian and Italian genes mixed in
to add spice to her extraordinary skills.
Her ancestors were corsairs (pirates that paid booty to the
King of France). They settled in North Africa just prior to all the beheading of the
French Revolution. Her Grandfather was an adept at dousing and other interesting and
related perceptions. When Freddy was a baby she became very ill. Her Grandfather injected
her with sea water and the illness vanished, leaving behind a child of the sea. |
| I am Richard Chesher, Ph.D., your expedition
facilitator, photographer, author, publisher and marine biologist. I'm fascinated in the process of becoming; evolution of
the grand scheme of life and of each individual life - like yours, mine, or the myriad
beings that share our planet with us.
From the viewpoint
of the creatures in the process of evolving,
the forces controling what happens to them are
totally invisible and, to them, unknowable.
The ancient Greeks thought the forces of fate
were three sisters, the Moirae. It's where
the name of the boat, Moira, originated. Together,
we can stalk the three sisters of fate and develop
special methods
to observe them and find out how they work.
It won't be easy, but it will be interesting.
Here is what you'll find on this expedition:

The
first cruise follows the invisible wake
of the Moirae from Taiwan to Hong Kong, the
Philippines, Palau, Papua New Guinea, the
Solomon Islands and Australia. Along the way
we make a series of discoveries about impossible
cooincidences called synchronicities. Our
detective work unravels (with the help of
a Cachalot whale) an astonishing awareness
of This Magic Sea. |
 |
The
second cruise heads to New Guinea to explore
the wonder of This Magic Sea in the full richness
and diversity of the Louisiades and Trobriand
Island culture and in isolated ocean wildernesses.
Returning to Australia, we are immediately
captured by an ancient sage and set on a quest
to rescue three ancient sea spirits from the
clutches of evil. |
 |
The
third cruise begins in a violent storm
on a submerged atoll called Elizabeth Reef
in the middle of the Tasman Sea. The trail
leads to New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands,
Fiji, Wallis Island, Western Samoa and ends
far out in the middle of the Pacific on the
island of Tutuila. This is the hydrographic
phase of the voyage when we attempt to chart
This Magic Sea - spending quite a lot of time
in New Caledonia and Fiji along the way. |
