Author: Gill Lockhart

Gill is a full-time water lover, writer and creator of Water Wellness. Whilst spending several years in Australia, she found a passion for being by or on the water whilst camping in the great outdoors.

 

After a recent battle of kicking cancer's butt, she found herself realigning her important values and purpose in life. Now back living on the stunning South Coast of the UK, she is inspiring and educating others on the power of Water Wellness - a holistic lifestyle concept including emotional, spiritual, physical, intellectual, social and occupational dimensions, where the impact of being in, on, under or by the water during times of struggle is legendary.

 

When she can’t be found in a daydream near the water or bobbing on a kayak, you’ll catch her planning her next travel adventure or journaling to appreciate how great life really can be.

Going self-catering in this beautiful island is definable something worth considering. All inclusive resorts have their place, but here, it’s worth saving some money and creating your own adventure. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and entertainment, with the locals loving to give their generous Cape Verdean hospitality - Morabeza 🇨🇻

    Did you know you can learn about the protection of Did you know you can learn about the protection of Sea Turtles at the Project Biodiversity's Turtle Hatchery on the island of Sal, Cape Verde? 
Sea turtles have been protected by law in Cape Verde since 1987. The islands are the third largest population of nesting loggerhead turtles in the world, making it perfect for turtle watching. Most nest on the island between July and October, with August being the primary month for observations.
Visit the Turtle Hatchery on the beach by the Hotel RUI Palace Santa Maria to observe the excavation of Loggerhead sea turtle nests, learn about the conservation of the species and have the chance to see baby Loggerhead turtles.
Visit during the day and chat with volunteers or arrange a night Turtle Watching Tour when they are most active. 
Perfect for some mindful Water Wellness 💙

    "Surfer João De Macedo waits on his board, a hund "Surfer João De Macedo waits on his board, a hundred feet or so from the beach. He’s relaxed yet alert, scanning the water for indications of the next wave. As he spots a smooth swell pattern that indicates a potentially rideable wave, anticipation releases another wave — of neurochemicals cascading throughout his brain and body. 
The water rises up in front of him, and he’s instinctively standing on his board, using the brain that has been shaped by all the experiences of thousands of waves he’s ridden before to look for the perfect entry point. Dopamine explodes in his brain as he drops into the pocket. He’s enclosed in a watery tunnel of cool, blue-green light, surrounded by the smell and the sound of the wave, feeling the air rushing past him as he makes minute physical adjustments to keep the ride going for as long as possible. Feel-good neurotransmitters — adrenaline, dopamine, endorphins — rise in waves inside his brain and body. He shoots out of the pocket just as the wave crest crashes behind him. He smiles, maybe even laughs. Then he drops back onto his board and starts to paddle out as he looks for the next wave—and the next dopamine rush." - Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, Blue Mind: How water makes you happier, more connected and better at what you do.
Surfing is one of the greatest examples of Blue Mind, where will you find yours?
