Becoming A Sailor

Episode Summary

The challenge of becoming a sailor is more than a choice or something staged. In the sailing world, a challenge is crossing an ocean or lake, sailing solo for a long-distance, or living with a maniac on a boat at sea.

Episode Notes

I choose some of the topics from discussions I have with other sailors. I find in general sailors to be pretty sophisticated in their self-awareness and thoughtfulness. I strive to open up areas and notions that will make the sailor better informed and more understanding. Sailing is life. A sailor's point of view is as important to culture and country as any philosopher. Challenge is something you have to do that is difficult. It is not really something staged. Or a choice. Too many young people think it is a challenge to be off social media for a week. Or to go hiking with guides and beverages. In the sailing world, a perceived challenge is crossing an ocean or lake. Sailing solo for a long distance. Living with a maniac on a boat at sea. This is the challenge of becoming a sailor.
