Keep pushing and soon you’ll be floating ; )

It’d be nice to cross paths with you! It’s amazing, isn’t it? No matter where you come from, what your socioeconomic background is, what age you are, you know that if somebody else is also living on a boat, (and I feel the same way about free-spirits traveling around the world with no attachments to material things) you’ve got something huge in common and it makes you feel close… Like… There’s another alien over there!

I think it’s that we have discovered this amazing key to freedom, health, happiness, adventure and just feel so fortunate it makes us happy to see others who have also left behind of all the hassle and toxicity of the big urban centers. Man, it’s so hard to live there!! I can’t believe people not only put up with it but also defend it. That they need to be in the system to have all this stuff and have access to all this comfort. The price is so high! Your mind rushing constantly and no time to be with your loved ones or do the things you love doing.

I like your idea of the universe aligned for things to happen. You wouldn’t believe the amount of coincidences our encounter had! I’ll make sure I write a blog about it, Alex and I are so pig-headed we really tried our best but reality just made us bump into each other, it really was something special.

So July you’ll be floating out there full time! Super! I’m itching to cross to the Pacific, very interested in Galapagos and all the islands beyond, but also right here in Panama and Costa Rica there’s many more beach breaks for me to learn to surf on that coast. As soon as Alex finishes his film we’ll be crossing the canal I think.

Take care, JR! And thanks for sharing!

Great read, good to see a different point of view on living aboard. We live and cruise every summer for 6 weeks and when we get back home we are always asked how our summer was. The very first thing we talk about is feeling like an alien. In so many ways like the sore knees and back from walking on a hard surface to trying to fit into the so called life on land with all of the hustle and bustle. You articulated it so perfectly and only after 3 months aboard. I have always thought that “Timing” and time itself is just a man made concept, being in touch with your surroundings and becoming one (or two) with the universe. An alignment of everything, the stars, the planets, the tides, the bus, all together with Alex’s world and your world came together at one exact moment. If one little thing was out of allignment you may not have met at all. You have come across your own little “Big Bang Theory” and a new life has just begun. Good for you guys.
We are moving onto the boat full time and cutting the dock lines in July. Heading down the west coast and will be in Mexico by November. If you guys make it through the ditch and everything is in alignment maybe we will meet up in the Pacific.
Looking forward to readingmore of both blogs. All for now. Hi Alex..

JR.
