Absolutely effin' brilliant! What an incredible story. What amazing people there are here in this community. It's like discovering a diamond in a haystack. I can't wait to sign up for your newsletter. There are so many inspiring people like you who can teach us how to LIVE! Last year I was feeling very confined, and I took sailing lessons at the urging of a dear friend after we'd corresponded and he'd told me about his 37 foot Fisher and all the adventures he dreamed of taking in it. (He also owns a Pacific Dolphin 24.) What a wonderful experience those sailing classes were! But I wanted to do it all myself, too, without the scheduling a crew requires. So I bought a small dinghy only 10 feet long in which I strapped my camping gear in dry bags and sailed to an island about 5 miles away when I had an excellent weather window. I camped there for 2 days and sailed back. An amazing memory I'll always have, and an amazing time. I had to sell the dinghy when I moved to the US, but I bought a different one (11 foot Minifish) which I have taken out a few times. Can't wait to keep doing it this summer.
Last item. Yes. Keep doing it. Nothing like it. We have sailed over 45,000 miles together and have owned a sailboat since 1982. Part of the reason why trying to determine what to do next is really a challenge!
