Chasing The Blue Beyond

Captain, who is driving the ship, Microsoft? I want a boat that drinks 6, eats 4, and sleeps 2. I got a cruise ship instead that drinks,eats and sleeps 3,200. I agree with  Joseph Conrad:  There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea. 

My Attitude Is Still  Getting Me Altitude! In 1971 Schlitz Beer commercial‘s on my B&W  TV depicted adventurous men diving for gold, sailing the 7 seas.   “Go for the gusto! ... you only go around   once in life”   Note to self: The earth school kills all of its students. Life is like r owing out to sea in a boat that has a hole in the bottom. Have as   much joy and fun and fulfillment- because success without fulfillment is     failure.    Yet doing the right thing at the wrong time equals pain- I would recommend that everyone who wanted to travel, do it immediately. Sooner rather than later.   Gather no moss. The  digital convergence and celestial jukeboxes (Cell Phones, TV's, Computer Screens)  are the sound track and sound bytes of our lives- But the content is  somebody elses point of view. What is deeply personal is universal yet what  gives our lives meaning and gravitas is our own Autobiography. ...

Despite  budget cuts, the light at the end of the tunnel is still on  There are three sorts of people; those who are alive, those who are dead, and those who are at sea. Going out on the open water is  the infinity of hope, the preview of life's coming attractions where you have final cut in your own movie.  You can lose yourself in the ocean's food for thought. Its  menu  is  the meal,  and itineraries are full of promises. It gives you a  sense of destination and the energy to get started again. Disney Magic  Call it faith!  A passion for the possible. I am full of it, and shooting from the hip that is to say,   having  an adventure  is something more but nothing less than bad planning.  It's (F)unemployment.  Never heard of funemployment? It's the person who quits his job or takes advantage of being out of a "job" to have the time of their life. Instead of punching a clock, you head for the beac...

Write? Right! I like writing. I just don't like the paper work. Pulp-free fiction-blogging is literature in a hurry. Today we are in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Before I started sailing, I didn't even know what street Canada was on. In fact, Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party. Like: "Keep it down, eh?" Canadians are nothing more than unarmed Americans with great health care, a nation of people who came from somewhere else. There's a lot of History at Pier 21 in the Halifax port, Canada's version of Ellis Island ,where one million immigrants landed between 1928-1971 on steam ships and ocean liners. In April, 1912, Halifax was the hub of rescue operations for the Titanic. (Great movie: Spoiler alert: A lot of people die at the end). Because you can't spell mansLaughter without laughter.. What do you get if you cross the Atlantic Ocean with the Titanic? About halfway! On the Titanic the captain calls a meeting of his officers: 'I have ...

It's like saying, I wanna love you, but I have to go; this is just the way it is ." 🏔️ Welcome to Sweden Welcome to Sweden, with a reputation for extreme winters, the safest cars on Earth (see my SAAB story ) and ABBA.
