Get Real, Get Gone: How to Become a Modern Sea Gypsy and Sail Away Forever

by Rick Page

To live on the beautiful blue ocean is a gift to be treasured, not an achievement to be measured.

So when faced with two choices of fairly equal merit, take the one that is actually happening, not the one that you have fixated upon for no other reason than that is what you have fixated upon. This is a good skill to develop because the sea is totally indifferent to your wishes and whether you like it or not, she will often have very different ideas of where she would like you to go.
