Whats the plan?!

We want to close down every beach bar from Nova Scotia to Panama. IN 1 YEAR. Have you ever had a dream that followed you throughout waking life? What is the point of all this bullshit? Go sailing, live life while your alive and able! Follow our un-frequently updated blog to taste the salt as we search for fun and follow the dream.

No but really, I have always felt a great rush and ease with writing despite typing only two words a minute. Its not a natural flow of expression for myself I admit, but maybe it's something to grow into during the next stage of having more down time for long stretches. Thats how I imagine things might shake out, but it may be hard to find said 'time' amongst the diving + beach bar goals described above. As we hurtle towards Canada the only moments I have to actually peak at what the hell is happening is when I stop to write. Its a short respite from my crowded mind. This is certainly the most grandiose project I have taken on yet! I feel lucky to know that I have said that before. But with a team like this, the moon feels within reach. Not in a fked up Musk kind of way but rather a humbling awe at the progress that can be obtained once the ball gets rolling. Its an amazing duality. The first push took a lot more bravery than smarts, but once that momentum was conjured the smarts have been trying to catch up ever since. I may be overthinking it all, some people have told me you just hop on a boat and go......but nope, not us at least.

Im writing this surrounded by stuff, some things that will be given away and some that will stay with me, both categories have things of varying usefulness. Its all just kinda thrown about, no real order beside ditch and keep piles. For some reason half the stuff I decided to keep has already started to feel like it leans more useless than useful. Ill go through it one more time in the morning. Iv sold my little trailer casita that has been a fantastic home for 4 years and I feel the most untethered I have in a long time. Its a great feeling really, but im eager for the next place. I often dream of dropping the hook off of Athena for the first time, I think it has become an event of significance beyond just the reward of having made it to that point. It feels like the next tether, holding us all to the ground like a literal ball and chain. But this tether is by nature meant to move with us, and I can hardly wait to see where we go! You know, almost on purpose I have not looked at photos of the east coast or Caribbean? I stare at the charts, and I think about what it takes to get the boat afloat. The rest feels like a present I am waiting to unwrap.
