Check out our SWEET Site: http://bit.ly/gwtw-home ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a yin to every yang and never have we felt that more than in boat life. The reality of this lifestyle is far more complex than these weekly postcards we send. From beautiful moments and epic encounters in the underwater world to endless repairs brought on by the salty environment we love so much. It feels like a battle of extremes some days and it can be a challenge to find the balance. Like all older boats, our Curiosity requires a lot of maintenance and a steady stream of replacement parts. Add in our inexperience and a remote location to the mix and the whole experience shifts to from physical to mental. We have to consistently fine tune our attitudes and learn to take it in stride. Some days, a good beer really helps. 😉 Too much work and not enough play or vice versa leads to an imbalance that can cause disaster. We all experience this yin and yang in life. Of all the various lifestyles we’ve had the great fortune to experience, sailing around the world has the most dramatic highs and lows. But, it’s like Brian said in the movie Vanilla Sky, ‘WITHOUT THE BITTER, BABY, THE SWEET AIN’T AS SWEET.’ While swelling batteries, rusted engine parts and broken water pumps may be bitter, nothing is sweeter than swimming with a Manta Ray the lagoons of Bora Bora!
