Well, that is how I ended my college "career", and wound up living in Hawaii for a while. :)

Boy ...... sometimes I wish ......

But no, not me, I was always to busy being responsible and doing the "right thing". Trying to achieve the "American dream", which I'm finding is really, mostly just the American trap.

Ahh me ...... live and learn

Doubtless some of you have seen this one before. I love it and embrace it as being almost a gospel.

To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen, who play with their boats at sea -"cruising", it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.
"I've always wanted to sail the South Seas, but I can't afford it." What these men can't afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of "security". And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine—and before we know it, our lives are gone.
What does a man need—really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in—and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That's all—in the material sense. And we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention from the sheer idiocy of the charade.
The years thunder by. The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it the tomb is sealed.
Where then lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?

Hay I just got back from hanging with Jim and Beck. they got a free dock tie up with power and bath room and shower useage, from a guy in washington NC. Jim said the water got rough and wind is blowing like heck, and Beck "just aint ready to sca-dottle". thay will be leaving ...or try too as soon as the wind slacks a bit. thay said the temp.s is great.   they said some gal came over and offered some $$ and  to cook diner for them while they are here, if they wanted to pick up around the yard (lots of tree brenches a poop from the last hurricane..nothing heavy though).
