Book of Love Chapter/ Twenty One/ Arrival too the Sea of Galilee

      As I was on the Arab Palistinien bus heading towards the Sea of Galilee on one of my four times total that I have been in Israel and stopping along the way too Narareth on my way back and coming close to the Sea of Galilee a relatively short bus ride from Nazareth I was expecting to see some great resort hotel as coming towards a mountain hill bluff excepting to see the Sea and some big hotel along the way too the entrance of the view and instead I saw nothing but the Sea and when arriving in Tiberious there were no fancy tourist hotels to be seen, in my memory but did find a Youth Hostel on the Sea of Galilee and remembering feeding the fish on the Sea that came in swarms like that I have never seen in my life and it started by finding a quite place on a sea wall with calm and gentle and wave free water, where I could see the bottom and started throwing bread in the water and remember the verse in the Scriptures about casting ones bread upon the waters and after many days, it will return too you and when I did small fish started appearing and then bigger fish and then even bigger fish and a sight that I have never witnessed before as a fisher from my youth and they swarmed until I ran out of bread and then crossing the Sea of Galilee on a small ferry boat too the other side and seeing an amazing looking mountain that spoke volumes of mystery and was told something like this side of the Sea is where Jesus cast the demons out of the demonic and where the Sermon on the Mount was spoken, the greatest sermon every told or was that on the other side of the sea as some may say, but this mountain on the other side of the sea looked like the most dramatic place, that the most dramatic sermon was ever told and after a brief stop at the tiny port upon returning I could image how this Sea could be turbulent in a storm and had an erie feeling of what it must have been like in a storm and learning later or have been told or read that the winds can come down on the Sea in Great turbulence due to the fact that the Sea of Galilee is nearly below sea level and part of the Great African Rift that extended too the Dead Sea in the Jordon Valley or which the sea was part of in the North and surrounded by potential funneling mountains and it was obvious to me later that this was part of the ocean at one time, due to the Sea crabs on shore that looked exactly like the sea crabs on the open ocean on the rocks in shore as I was camping on the shore of the Sea after the  crossing and after checking out of the Hostel and finding a ace to camp,for there was not camp ground noticed, when I was there in the early seventies and after finding a solitary looking place on foot, just North of Tiberious and crossing a small farmers field and climbing over a stone border wall cautious of poisonous snake in the stones of which some of the most poisonous of snakes are in Israel with a Palastinian looking Arsb farmer watching in curiosity or concern, for this was put of the tourist or Pilgrims venue and coming too a small clearing on shore I steeled down and unrolled my light weight  but super earm down mummy bag. I began fishing with a drop line and wondering and praying in my heart, that I might catch a fish, with a coin in its mouth, like Peter did when Jesus told him to do, for tax money. Instead I caught a little fise at first and probably was an immature fish the locals call, Saint Peter's fish and but too sma to swallow a coin, so I fished again and caught a small or moderate size Catfish and I thought that this must have been the type of fish that Peter caught, due to its large mouth and able to swallowa coin and being a bottom feeder and Saint Peter's fish may be a misnomer, like many sites and things in the Holy Land are by traditions that are not always based on the facts and but even then, people are blessed I'm thier bliss for even the beautiful picture of the three wise men at Christ's birth never happened for they came some years later and but still a beautiful picture in spite of right being wrong and so many places in the Holy Land are not always a historical fact place and but close enough to be blessed in the heart and mind and visions and from the Sea of Galilee Iateth  traveled by bus again too Narareth and found na catholic Pilgrims Monestary to stay with a sweet and beautiful Nun greeting me at the door and from Nazareth and from there I traveled back to Jerusalem and from there I traveled further south too Hebron and visited Abraham's Tomb and also Joab"s tomb a cave and Abraham's tomb is a cave also but no one can enter in but one can peer down through a hole in the ceiling and I remember an Hasidic Jew in full garb tried to put a prayer note  down the well and chased off by an armed Israeli soilder guarding the Holy Site Moaerod sqe and venerated site by both Jews and Muslims of which building site over the tomb was built by Harod the Builder and one of the most authentic sites in Israel and the Holy Land and Joab's Tom just s modest cave tomb and I had to take it at the guides word or posts that it was authentic and creepy also when one knows the full history of King David's right hand man who died in disgrace and then I found myself stranded in Hebron and for it was the Sabbath and no busses were running so I visited Beer Shiva the place of the seven weeks that Abraham dug and so I checked onto a cheap and but clean Hostel and only way the next day through the amazing country side ride, back up too Jerusalem and checked into one of a number of Pilgrims Monestaries to stay in like the Lutheran Hostel. Casa Nova a Franciscan Monk Monastary where one can eat and drink wine with the Monks in the same large room and one Monk took a great liking to my son Elijah Muchael as a child and playing a sort of tag and making my son laugh and they both laughed together and but my favorite place to stay was the White Sisters Cathollic Monestaries and built over the Pavement that Jesus stood before Pontus Pilafe call the floor of Antonio's  Fortress the garrison that watched over the Holy Temple site and a carved game was on the floor by  by soldiers who mock Jesus before his crucifixion and the card game on the wall depicted someone being mocked as a king and robed and such and is a stark and real testimony of what happened to Christ at the head of the Roman soldiers under Pontius Pilate and the white sisters monastery was built over the ruins of Antonia's Fortress and the pavement where the famous words or inFAMOUS words were spoken by Pontius Pilate behold the man which in Latin is "Ecce Homo", from the roof of this Monastery one can see a good part of the old city of Jerusalem and the Temple area and the most fascinating is deep down below the in the lowest part of the monastary the  Flagstone of someone being mocked before being crucified is the story....to be continued and edited

The non violent battle to save our Free Port and Anchorage on San Francisco Bay off Sausalito California

   Sausalito historic Anchorage is being destroyed after thousands of years a free anchorage by the local Miwoks who were also called, "The Water People" and the first place that Francis Drake anchored according to the local Miwoks and written in a book by an ancester of Chief Marin called "Drake at Olympii" and now the State of California  ((Goldsbanz head of   BCDC ) Marin Counties RBRA (Richardson Bay Regency Agency) and the City Council of Sausalito want to sterilize, the last refuge and Anchorage on the San Francisco Bay. After during the Gold Rush the City of San Francisco's bay and  Anchorage was filled in, so Sausalito became the defacto Anchorage  of the city of San Francisco and there is no other safe place or free harbor left for working liveaboards, like fishermen, salvagers and rescuers and of course Privateers/Pirates, like Sir Francis Drake and the low income and poor people, that can't afford to buy land or houses. In the richest and most expensive county in Califirnia, and the developers have thier eye on the bay to fill it in like Fort Lauderdale and put paid moorings for yachts eventually destroying one of the last free ports in the world, and at the crossroads of the world at that, and the developers will continue to built houses on the bay and fill in the shorelines, like they did to Strawberry Point where the harbor seal haulout area was located and filled in, and multimillion dollar houses built and bought by local buyers like Pete Wilson the former Governor and number one rascal and Anti Anchorout former Marin County  Supervisor,  who bought a house on bay fill, and his name  is "Big" Al Ambaru who was a Marin County Supervisor the Cities surrounding the Anchorage keep polluting the bay with run off from their multimillion dollar homes (Ferryboat the Charles Van Dam Gate Five Road and early houseboats ) surrounding the Anchorage and blaming the poor and working Mariners for polluting the bay is pure hypocrisy and building no low income housing for the harassed and the displaced who's homes and boats are being destroyed, during the Covid19 pandemic after 72 hour notice, with no right to redeem ones boats or historical floating homes and a refuge for all who have had a tragedy in their lives and have lived in the County for years and decades and are born here and to have to have a refuge,  until one can get their feet back on land if they desire to give up working on the water historically speaking and will not even be allowed to redeem thier confiscated boats and historically floating homes and crush them right away with few exceptions on pain of leaving the safe harbor or be crushed without the thirty day waiting and redeem time that motor homes and cars have and Maritime Law states and to have twenty four hour security so a confiscated boat is not robbed in the night at the Army Corps crushing ground and people are not even allowed to stay on their pirated vessels at night to protect their property as has always been in the past and we are dealing with land thieves and pirate corporations and evil doers and homeless makers who will have no home in Heaven for those that make people homless and see you and rally every Sunday in front of the Sausalito City Hall for free hot mealsand Anchorout/Waterfront Church fellowship and protest against the City Council of Sausalito and County of Marin and political action and removal of the Tyrants in public office and to elect our own compassionate Council Members and County Supervisors and the Governor also who lives historically in the County and has not done a thing to help low income and permenant housing and home ownership and just sold his house for millions and a great judgement is waiting from Heaven on their houses and lands and health and bodies if they the Limosine Liberals in this solidly Democratic County and no excuses for blaming the Republicans here and yours truely Waterfront and Anchotout and homeless advocate and (Picture of Indiana Jones in San Anselmo California that resembles me on bottom  photo where I had turned our estate into a homeless shelter and rewarded by God and  Angels for taking in the homeless !?)  Pastor the Peter "Christian" Romanowsky and resident of the County since 1964 and the longest continues surviving (without a shore break) and resident at anchor on the San Francisco Bay, to the best of my knowledge, except for possibly long time Sausalito resident Gregg Baker !? Since first putting and mooring a boat off Sausalito in 1982 and full time living on a boat since 1984, with three years in a criminal conspiracy corporation and harbor called Galilee Harbor and supposed refuge for Anchorouts and full time Marine service harbor that has sold out to land lover and anti anchotout tenants, too the highest bidder of which no poor anchotout can afford to move in and should and will be under a Grand Jury investigation in the future also with their co conspirators on the Sausalito City and surrounding City Councils like Mill Valley, Tiburon and Belvedere the richest and most influential island in the World as well as the Marin County Board of Supervisors and the Governor of whom by Gods Grace will never be able to attaine a higher office due to their pride and greed and of neglecting the poor and throwing them just a bone like we were dogs and yeas we are dogs, Sea Dogs that will politically and Spiritually bite as sure as my  Great Grandfather/Uncle Matti Tarkkanen who first set foot in Sausalito to reach Mariners and Anchorouts for Christ in 1890 and founded the Finnish Seamens Mission in San Francisco   that eventually developed into Getsemene Lutheran Church and then merged with a Danish Luthern Church and is called Saint Francis Lutheran Church on Church Street in the Castro District of which originally was called Fin Town, with all its Saunas and bath house of which e eventually after the Sixties the quote "Gays" moved in and the first outbreak of Aids and of which my Great Grandfather and Uncle after the early death of his brother took over and adopted my grandmother in Finland and went on from the Bay area and Northern California as a Lutheran Priest to be the Head of the Finnish Missionary Society in Finland and its international missions from Angola to Israel and China and Japan and is written up in the United Nations for helping solve a dispute between missionaries like the Roman Catholics and the British Missionaries and write many books and translated the Finnish New Testament into modern Finnish as was Knighted with a metal from the Czar of Russia for his work as Finland was under the Czar of Russia and when the Russians came to San Francisco to buy grain for their holdings in Alaska they brought the best sailors and Mariners and ship builders and sail and line makers in Russia, who were the Finnish sailors of which many, like the Russians settled in San Francisco and Alta California with their Capital at Fort Ross and the last or next in line hereditary speaking lives still in Marin County named Peter Romanov and not to be confused with my name of which is another story altogether as my father Ardady Romanowsky https://www.amazon.com/diary-Russian-fugitive-adventures-Romanowsky-ebook/dp/B07BZBK7L5 was a Soviet officer who defected to Finland during the Russian and Finnish Wars before the Natzis invaded the Soviet Union and married my Finnish mother where I was conceived and all together escaped too Sweden in a thirty foot lifeboat with thirty refugees in it, in thirty foot seas where I was born and eventually my first waking moment in history was waking up on a ship in heavy seas coming too America and eventually I married a Famous Sea Captians daugter here in Marin County and who also was a County Supervisor and Chairmen of the Board at the Vallejo Maritime Academy and Senior Member of the then State Harbors and Navigation Commission and appointed first by Governor Pat Brown and then reappointed by Ronald Reagan and entertained both Eisenhower and Patton at his Captians table as a Merchant Mariner in World War ll, somewhere in the Mediterranean and named Captain Ernest Niles Kettenhoffen and to be continued unedited and unpuncuated, to get my thoughts and memories out on type, to be corrected and published in a book in the future with the help of my three grown and University graduate Children Michael, Hannah and Sarah Romanowsky and my three grandchildren, in the near future and forever and if don't get you straight about the Anchorage and homeless situation, my children will and if anyone presently like to run this treaties through a word processor then please do and email me the grammatically correct version too peteromanowsky@gmail.com telephone me at
