[status]One of the frequently asked questions asked of cruisers is 'How do you spend the time when it's your watch?' Over the years I've heard all sorts of responses: from sitting diligently at the helm keeping an eye on the horizon and the instruments, to reading, to doing puzzles, to snoozing (with the alarm clock set), to baking, to doing a routine of stretches, to practising knot tying...... Can you work out what I do for part of my shift? "Hello There. Life Beyond Work is Offshore, Sailing So Far Away. Changes in Latitude. All I need are Dolphins and Albatross, Aquamarine. Anything is Possible. It's Almost Full Moon and it's a Starry Night, So Beautiful. Feeling Good, a Change is Going to Come, as i Farewell the Darkness with a Little Ray of Sunshine. So Happy Together." Yip, you guessed it, I enjoy listening to music.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
