If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My only extravagance in life is my sailboat. I'm bonkers about that, but other than that, I don't spend money on myself.
I want to conquer the unknown. I really, really want to live on the water and captain my own boat. I have dreamed of going around the world on a boat.
If you believe in something, you must will it through, because everything gets in the way. Everyone tries to steer the ship off course.
If you don't succeed on your own ground, then there's no reason to succeed. Unless, of course, you really want a boat. If you're a person who feels that with a yacht, everything will be all right, then you should do whatever you have to and get the yacht.
Sailing is a big outlet for me.
Aside from what it teaches you, there is simply the indescribable degree of peace that can be achieved on a sailing vessel at sea. I guess a combination of hard work and the seemingly infinite expanse of the sea - the profound solitude - that does it for me.
Sailing is a big outlet for me. It's one of the key things I've been able to do by commingling science with sailing and my love of the sea. Also, I have several motorcycles, and I like to go on motorcycle trips.
I think my whole life has been one of sort of daring, and sort of sailing against the wind instead of just going with the wind.
The sea is my business.
I have no interest in sailing around the world. Not that there is any lack of requests for me to do so.
