A ha, I don’t miss those days! Granted, I did it on a larger boat than what you’re on and part of the not missing it is the not missing dealing with all the other crew and their BS. My husband is currently in Harbour Island in the Bahamas on the little 70 footer he captains. I miss the destinations, I don’t miss the work. I’m glad to see you’re still loving it! But finding balance is hard especially when you’re bone tired at the end of an 18 hour day. Best of luck! I look forward to staying abreast of your future adventures.

Wonderful photo, Jody, and a great ‘peek behind the curtain’ to see how you and Peter create magical experiences for those who sail with you. I know all too well how much hard work it takes to make something appear effortless, and you guys do it well. You are giving your guests experiences they’ll treasure, and we thank you. Stay safe and be well…. — Lori

from a “failed hippie” this is my perception that I try to inculcate into my children’s lives……”just because you have been modeled a wage slave/entrepreneurial mentality by your parents, does not mean that, there is only one way to live! Had I known then, what I know NOW…you would have been born in the back of a VW bus on a trip from the tip of Argentina to Alaska!” Both daughters get it, however as kittens begin to explore, they are getting sucked into the American dream…. good neighborhood, 3/2 with garage, 2 cars, schools etc….you can lead a horse to water…..however, you CAN salt their oats!

Drink from the firehose of life…. do it ALL!
Everyday is a gift, use it well.
Experiential vs Materialism!!!!!!

What a great post! My husband Ben and I, aboard Wanderlust, are in the same situation. We’ve reached our threshold to start working again, but the truth is we can’t ever go back to the cubicles of our old lives! We’re brainstorming about what the next leg of our careers looks like, but haven’t quite figured it out yet. Glad to hear that folks such as yourself are in the same “boat!” Thanks for sharing, and maybe we’ll see you in the VIs.

I don’ t know about this. Sounds like in exchange for one rat race you have created another in pursuit of your dream. Having fallen for this myself many times I think it is something to be avoided if at all possible. Joy and peace should the goal not exhaustion. Maybe some balance is in order.
