Something Personal

Something I do not usually talk about...something personal to me, deeply personal. My why. Why a sailboat. Why now. I suppose it was ingrained in me since a child. My parents waited, I wish they hadn't. I would have had an ENTIRELY different childhood. I am not saying the one I had was BAD...rather the opposite. It set me up for where I am today. Chasing dreams that are FAR larger than myself. Sailboats are not just a FAD for me. They are my life. Life style. ALL of it. If you are wanting to pursue your passions, my suggesting is not to wait. GO for it, today! This is a sentimental video for my dad, who passed 18yrs ago today. He was a big game fish in the marine industry where I am from, and is missed by so many. The song? Elmers tune, by Glen Miller. YT may strike it...but heck, I love it. Because, he loved it. The thumbnail? A scan of a very old test sheet of photo paper I printed back on film in College...I believe they were 5 second bursts at the time! The image was of my dad and my first sailboat. A 1964 Pearson Vanguard...we restored it together at his shop. Fond memories. Again, it is my WHY. If you made it this far reading, bless you and thank you! Cheers!
