0533: Here I am sitting at my computer desk, two hours away from moving into my boat. Although I know nothing about boats or living on a boat I do know that it will bring many new challenges into my life. At this point I can't even tie a knot, tell you anything about a diesel engine, I'm not good with electronics, nor am able to speak or understand the new lingo. I understand that these are only 4 out of a million new things I'll need to learn. Some have called me crazy for getting myself into something like this, but those same people also think I'm crazy for traveling the way I do and living in Miami with only a bicycle for transportation. The only way to find out if I can live on a boat is to do it. Failure is not an option. I might realize that boat life is not for me and sell the boat six months from now. However that would not be a failure in my book. Failing would be not trying in the first place.
I've dreamed of living on a boat and learning how to sail since I was a little boy. This dream comes true today and from this day on I have a whole lot of learning to do! I expect to have many embarrassing moments and make thousands of mistakes, but at the same time meet lots of new friends and learn about myself...and hopefully sailing and fixing boats! For a picture from the ad check out my new page here. Hopefully more pictures soon!
