We answer, 'Why aren't you sailing?'

How have you dealt wtih big wild dreams that you feel like you did NOT attain? I would love to get your feedback below on how you dealt with that? What was the vision or goal that you didn't reach, and how did you not let it get you down? I think we all face these things at times, and how we handle them may be the difference between happiness and not.

This week we answer the questions we have received about why we are not sailing. Over the last few weeks now, there has been a thread of questions about the fact that the sailboat has not been in the videos, we are not out on the water or doing work on the boat. What's up with that is the common question.

There are a lot of reasons, call them excuses if you will, but we are happy where we are in life and are looking to adapt our dreams slightly to make them attainable for a more extended period.

I wish we were more like Delos, Uma, The Wynns, Atticus, and the many other channels I turn to for continued fuel for my fire (or dreams), but we are different. We have managed to find a way to make cruising or living aboard or having a boat work for our family and us.

So how have you modified one of your dreams to keep it alive even if it doesn't look exactly like you first visioned without feeling like you lost a bit of your identity with it?

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.

Man, I’ve had the sailing bug for decades. While working towards the dream I lived in a converted Greyhound, got married, got divorced. All the while cruising stayed in my sights. If this falls apart now, I’ll be just devastated. I have *thought* about not cruising ... it just doesn’t feel good not heading there.

Thanks for the update, but you really don't owe an explanation to anyone. Just do you!
