About five years ago, a spearfisherman was fishing for lobster near his anchorage in the Bahamas. Diving in the turquoise blue waters that surround the Bahamian Islands, he had a very productive day. After returning to his catamaran, he and his wife knew that they had an extra lobster that they wouldn’t eat that day. Continue reading “One Lobster”

The Universe, Lessons, and Lifelines
Preface from Jon: Sailing Pivo recently posted about some of the hopes and dreams that she had when they moved to the sailing life. In Debunking Myths, Daniella observes that if you don’t some work to change yourself, you aren’t likely to feel any real true life satisfaction with just a change in scenery.

We had opportunities, even though we didn’t sail much, to practice a lot of other skills and really show ourselves that we canContinue reading “Charter successes”
