Planting the Seed - The Baltic Sea [Part 1] / Yggdra Sailing

“Let the adventure begin” The mantra echoed through my mind. Before me stood a 53 foot sailboat but I didn’t know how to sail.

/When you suddenly find yourself standing before an opportunity, it is at the same time a challenge. The easy option is normally to walk away. Though once you start thinking of the effects that might come out of the decision you have to make, walking away might no longer be an option. Proportionally to how scary the choice may appear, will the reward be great if you decide to go for it. The Universe will lay out the path for you if you are willing to take in the signs. Just make sure you take that first scary step./

-----------------------

I happened to find the right boat at the wrong time. I thought. If I would have known of the difficulties that lay ahead I would not have dared to risk everything I owned plus some more. I am very glad today that I didn’t know what I was doing. It turned out to be just the right time.

As I mention in the video, the story started 3 years before the first time I walk on the deck of Yggdra. That day, as I stood below her, thinking. “What would life be like..” something changed inside me. From that day, until the day when this video begins, I couldn’t take my mind off the thought. To sail around the World. I only read books about sailing and despite not knowing how to sail, I was sure it was what I wanted to do.

Yggdra happened to be basically the first sailboat I had boarded in by life. She was as well the one that awoke the dream that had been with my since I was a child, of adventures at sea. I needed no convincing to know that she was the right vessel for me.
