Fair winds, following seas, and wonderful adventures of the welcome kind, Heather!!

Reading her "why I did this" makes anyone want to get off their backside and do SOMETHING!

Many dream big dreams. Some wait, becalmed in their own inertia, hoping their favorite phantoms will magically materialize. For others, the tradeoff of comfort and security is too great a sacrifice and youthful imaginings are rationalized away. For most, I suppose, the very real duties of everyday life swallow the years until, one day, it is too late for “some day.”

Reasons for discarded dreams are countless.

But I have fulfilled my duties, and I have learned dreams do not just come true. With joy and the force of our will we make them true!

Good luck, Heather!

God speed and stay safe....

Fair winds and following seas Heather!

God Speed Captain.
I look forward to monitoring her progress

Safe travels to a fellow parrothead.

Fair winds, following seas and a most heartfelt BIG salute, Captain Heather.

Godspeed, stay safe, and let's have a beer together someday.

bon voyage Captain Heather!

Maybe we should adopt her?

April 20, 2007 - I’m in the air over I-have-no-clue-where, en route to Newport Beach, California to fetch Flight of Years. My “casting off of land lines” has had more than its requisite number of snafus; details and aggravations too minute to mention but which are intrinsic to everyday life – let alone the considerable undertaking of concluding one life for the commencement of another.

On the way to the airport this morning I was listening to an old Jimmy Buffett album (use of the word “album” dates me, doesn’t it?). Ballads of sailors and pirates, heroes and children, love and loss, the sea, the passing of years and making sense of it all. And I was contemplating the question everyone keeps asking: “Why?” “Give me something that will make sense,” someone said. “Something I can understand.”

I’m not sure someone who has to ask that question will fully comprehend the answer. Particularly since I can scarce put to words what can only be truly understood with the heart.

I think thats a great idea - how do you suppose we could be of help?

It would be like sailing the world by proxy......

What E said.

Wow...inspiring!!!

According to the website, it looks like she didn't set sail yesterday.

and to think I was just a short distance south of her in FL when she set sail!

I think we should adopt her! I know that RM follows that couple that's been sailing the Caribbean for a while. what about following a solo?

If so inclined, you can donate to her beans and rice fund via paypal.

And if you happen to own a business, you get a link to your business for being a benefactor ($1 a day). You get a personal link if you're an individual.
