A Sailors attachment to the sea compels him or her to abandon all the ties that prevent them from knowing the complete freedom of life on the ocean.
A Surfer will cut class, skip work, etc. to go out on a day when the swell is hitting.
Put the two together and you have created a dynamo of energy, whose volition will stop at nothing until the dream has been realized.
For us a life at sea in search of perfect waves, and a life integrated with the movements of mother nature offers the perfect solution.
At this point we are already in the middle of a dream-facing our wildest fears and anticipating the bliss and hard work. When we sleep it's usually visions of wild turbulent storms at sea or the unsurpassed beauty of a South Pacific atoll with a perfect six foot swell peeling around some uncharted point. Preparing for the trip means severing our ties from the land, and as a lifeline, we have chosen to write these logs. Hopefully, we can inpire others to go for their own dream and abandon all the voices that said they couldn't.
