Unless, of course, you don't have the time, don't care, are too afraid, or are too busy obeying? Are you? I have been sailing the seven seas for most of my life. I married a girl from New Zealand who I met while she was teaching in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Together we roamed the oceans adventure in every port, romance in every anchorage. Eventually we had a kid. It could have ruined our lives but instead it added to them. Whether it was swimming with whales or petting wild dolphins, whether beach combing after breakfast or diving amidst so many fish the world disappears after lunch and a nap, either way we fall into each others arms after dinner under thousands of stars. Yes, there are storms, yes there are pirates, yes bad things can happen. Storms we keep away from, they have their seasons. Pirates have their sea lanes, we travel others. Yes it is true, bad things can happen. Some times we return to the world, to civilization and are amazed. Bad things are happening every day! How can people live like this? Don't they go crazy? Well, yes they do. That is another bad thing. You don't have to put up with it. There is a better way. There are thousands of us, sailing around the world, living in peace and joy. And the parties we have on the beaches of abandoned atolls when we meet up! They are times of legend! Why don't you come with us? Yes, there is a steep learning curve. Yes, you have to learn. Your survival depends of it. Get a little dinghy and start practicing. It's fun! Bring a picnic! The ants can't eat up your food! Land your dinghy on a beach and take a long lonely walk with you loved one. You get to live with each other all day and all night. Yes, you have to work sometimes, it is true. But think of it this way. You are paying no rent, your electric power is coming from solar panels and wind generators, the rain gives you all the water you want, and if you need extra, use you reverse osmosis water maker. You have no bills! No one is charging you money! You are living a fabulous life for free! After a while you get tired of beans, rice and fish. Time to stop in a port and stock up at the grocery stores. For that you need money, you need a job. Working is fun when you don't have to do it every day. Working is fun when two months a year will allow you to go hog wild in every grocery store you come to. Working is fun when you only have to do it now and then. What more is there to say? Read this book. Read it again, or better, read it to your loved ones. I hate to tell you live does have its challenges. The book is full of shark attacks, pirates and evil officials. But we get through it all one way or the other. So can you. Read the book. Join us. We will be waiting.
