How Much Can You Carry?

Episode Summary

One of our most popular stories, an allegory that answers the question, “How much can you carry?” Plus, some tips on how to deal with long distance sailing voyages.

Episode Notes

Here is a simple exercise in relationships between the physical past and the physical present. How much can you physically carry in your arms? 

Where you are going? What is the reason you are carrying your maximum load? How far do you need to go? 

Most of us experience this “personal load” carrying groceries or running through the airport dragging suitcases. No matter what it is we are carrying it’s not fun. It wasn’t fun three thousand years ago either. Remarkably the physical struggle has been creative and enterprising. Ships play an important part in the evolution of how much you can carry. They still carry more than any other transportation vehicle invented.
