Gone Sailing

What’s the most crazy, outrageously impulsive thing I’ve ever done?

Sold my stuff, quit my job, went to sea. LOVING IT!

 Molokai - January 2014 - Whales (6)

Okay, maybe it wasn’t so impulsive as it took me three years to decide to lift anchor and take my first career break. And maybe it wasn’t so crazy as my decision surprisingly opened many more doors than it closed.  But there were certainly times along the way where the thought of following my dream seemed completely impetuous.

What’s the most crazy, outrageously impulsive thing you’ve ever done?

Rob Ross says:

Wait a second, that’s it? I’d totally love some details on the doors that going to sea opened for you, that sounds exciting!

Ahoy there Rob! To name a few:

1) Job offers
2) Pay increases
3) Deepened relationships
4) New relationships
5) Rekindled love affairs
6) Seeing the world

The fifth one is a really great story that I plan to write more about someday soon.

Love your site! http://robssurfreport.com/
