Now that family is attended to, I have made plans to live some of the adventures I have only dreamed about.
Partly because of my meeting and becoming friends with Mike and Royal. I have listened to them both
recount tales up at Mike's cabin and it started me thinking about some of the things I had been putting off.
It is now the time in my life to start thinking a little bit more me and what I would like to do.
The first in a short list (so far) is to learn to sail. Not the local harbour-type-sailing, but where the pirates sailed.
I need the real thing. So I have booked a 44' sailboat in the British Virgin Islands for myself and my wife.
The captain will teach me to sail in our 8 days on-board. We took the whole boat so we can chart our own course.
I can see it clearly....new lands, cold beer, nightly parties with the locals of the port we pull into,
Jimmy Buffet tunes, diving, fishing, my wife's smiling face. April can't come soon enough.
The adventure begins!
