Keeping up my daily habit of writing before bed is one of the things that has kept me sane out at sea. It’s taken years for this to be a consistent form of self-expression in my life but I am grateful for all the days I kept this practice alive, even when I felt like I had nothing to say or write about, because I now have a tool that allows me to process my experiences and hold space to develop my thoughts along the way.
I’ve got an entry for each day I’ve lived on the boat for the sake of documentation and personal sorting, yet writing updates to send out to the masses has left me at a loss for words. I figured I’d simplify the process for myself and start sharing some of the daily entries on this substack. Easier for me while traveling and hopefully very user friendly for you.
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here. Having you cheering me on is what keeps me going on the days that are far too overwhelming so I hope you enjoy what I manage to share over these next seven months of sailing.
