Sterling's quote below literally changed my life. It reads like it could have been written in the 2020's not the 1960s. That first paragraph is hitting home right now more than ever. We have never had so much uncertainty around our situation as we do right now; but to do hard interesting things it takes a certain level of grit and an untold amount of sacrifices. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life? I will out the quote in thread below; it’s an extract from Wanderer. Sterling Hayden was the ultimate mfer doing what he wanted way back in 1963.

“To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea... "cruising" it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about. "I've always wanted to sail to the south seas, but I can't afford it." What these men can't afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of "security." And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine - and before we know it our lives are gone.
