Dolphin Meditation: Relax with Dolphins and Ocean Waves, Hörbuch, Digital, 34min
Dolphins have always been remarkably friendly and social with humans. They are warm-blooded mammals just like humans. Play is an important part of dolphins' lives, and they often play with seaweed or other dolphins, seabirds and turtles. Dolphins also seem to enjoy riding waves and frequently surf coastal swells. Dolphins are attracted to music and produce unique audible sounds themselves. Many find these dolphin conversations both relaxing and even healing. This audio sequence offers over half an hour of gentle ocean music and intermittent dolphin conversations audible throughout this track. Let these wonderful sea creatures remind you of the beauty and harmony of our natural world and help you with meditation, relaxation or transition into deep sleep. Language: English.

Ford Maddox was running from his past when he came back to Blueberry Cove, Maine, where he'd tasted both heartache and comfort.

Neversink , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min
Along the Arctic Circle lies a small island called Neversink, whose jagged cliffs and ice-gouged rocks are home to a colony of odd-looking seabirds called auks, including one Lockley J. Puffin. With their oceanfront views and plentiful supply of fish, the auks have few concerns - few, save for Lockley's two best friends, Egbert and Ruby, a know-it-all walrus and a sharp-tongued hummingbird. But all of this is about to change. Rozbell, the newly crowned king of the Owl Parliament, is dealing with a famine on the mainland of Tytonia - and he has long had his scheming eyes on the small colony to the north. Now Neversink's independence hangs in the balance. An insurgence of owls will inevitably destroy life as the auks know it - unless Lockley can do something about it. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Alone Together: Sailing Solo to Hawaii and Beyond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 660min
What happens when a man of today's overconnected world sets off alone across the Pacific at the age of 71? Christian Williams, a veteran sailor and writer, planned a 6,000-mile voyage as a test of his own seamanship and endurance, and to fulfill a lifelong goal. But he found his focus quickly turning from the surrounding sea to all of us. Is anyone the same person when no one else is there? Do we dare to find out? In a new world of soaring seabirds, violent storms, and majestic emptiness, Williams discovered answers to questions he had never asked about who we are, why we sail, and the universal fear of being alone. Alone Together is a complete technical course in offshore sailing technique and yacht preparation, and a philosophical inquiry into what it takes to be truly alive in the 21st century. ungekürzt.
