Whirlaway: The Rule of the Sea

Whirlaway is mind and body adventure of the double-edge 80s, a time of growth, beyond idealism and self-absorption of the 60s and 70s. Bolder reaching for the gold ring made success seem attainable.

Many young folk enjoyed cocaine as a cultural stimulant, for encouragement, confidence and assurance, while it lasted. It cost a bit and a bit more but beat depression. The 80s also marked the beginning of the end for nature on Earth. Human population, doubling since the 50s, generated trash. The piles doubled, too, along with traffic and indiscriminate destruction. Free love or sex was still in, as pesky new diseases arrived.

On the bright and risky side, the 80s held potential for those in need. A bold player could float a loan at a bank, of all places, with an application form. Most banks had loan apps on hand, easily submitted with personal tax returns. The P.O. had racks of blank tax returns. Natcherly, the numbers had to make sense. No problema, with alignment available at friendly accounting services.

Freebooting and fun-loving, 80s life was for the spirited, high lifers to down and outers, whoever could reach to grasp and bring the prize home!
