started from the top and now?
i woke up this morning not knowing where i was but my eyes were heavy so i played a game of "where am i"? before revealing the answer
i had some guesses
a sailboat in sicily was not one of them
(my soul plays this game with me regularly to see if i like where i am. this morning i was rather pleased.
it's a splendid trick, it's like if you can forget your own face and look in the mirror. you will KNOW how attractive you are)
do you ever worry that the best things in life have already happened?
an analogy:
we started sailing in greece
all the old sailors are like "where do you plan to go next?"
this is a trap. they know what we will say. by the looks of us, wide-eyed and wrinkle-free, we will say "across the atlantic to the caribbean and eventually across the pacific to the south pacific"
but as soon as we say "atlantic" they start to smirk and they tell us that the crossing is too harsh on the boat and that the caribbean is overrated. they say greece is the best place to sail in the world, period, in terms of food, price, anchorage, scenery, culture, proximity to italy & infrastructure.
not so in the caribbean, where it is both terrible and EXPENSIVE, thanks to the americans, no offense, they say.
plus this marina in sicily is the best winter marina in the world, everyone knows that.
well WHAT THE FUCK MAN
when you start at the objective top, what can you look forward to next?
i fear that the best thing in LIFE is falling in LOVE and having already done that, there is nothing left for me.
the caribbean can't be that bad though. right?
