Life hack

[Toadhall]

A great life hack

Don’t worry, I'm not selling anything-Just want to share something that has changed my life.

I’m way less stressed, I sleep better, and I just fell AWSOME.

I only wish It didn’t take me 66 years to figure this out.

I am on my 35th day of doing this hack, and life just keeps getting better!

Here’s what you do.

You start the day just like you normally do; for me, I wake up about 7:00-get a cup of coffee, sit with my wife and talk about stuff, then we cook breakfast.

Then, when breakfast is done, and this is the important part:

You spend the whole rest of the day on the boat exploring the San Juans and Gulf Islands.

Then you do the same tomorrow, and the next day...........,...

It works, try it, all aspects of your life will be better.

You are very welcome.

Love it! How long do you plan on for this hack? Livaboard?

 

[Toadhall]

I have been planning for about 65 years-Lived aboard for the last 8 years-Semi retired this year

 

[Mac2]

Excellent. Plan on doing the same thing next summer.

 

[Barking Sands]

Outstanding! Ill give it a try.

I speed read so may have missed it. What did you have for breakfast?

First started cruising the Georgia Basin in 1965.

Never lived aboard (life tends to get in the way) but generally spend 120 nights a year out there somewhere.

Glad to see that you have finally figured this out!

I think you are onto something Toad.
We just left Princess Cove on Wallace Island. Slept like a baby.
Heading to Pender Island today.

dream of starting your life-hack every day at the office for last two years --- cannot wait for the day the wife and I wake up and watch the sunrise over the Caribbean instead of rushing to the office

What about this sunset in the gulf islands?

 

[Capt Pappy]

beautiful indeed, Capt --- i lived in the Seattle area around 1980. we had a 24' searay moored in lake Washington(?) but my father and I were very inexperienced boaters, so rarely went father than thru the lock and a few miles into the puget sound.

then moved down here to the Houston area in late '82.

in a perfect world, we make it back up there one day with the forthcoming vessel -- my father, who passed away this June, and I used to talk of trying to pilot the little SeaRay up to Alaska and seem to think feasible with just one 30 mile or stretch of open ocean. so like to think of it as a tribute trip.

 

[Capt Pappy]

in all honesty, likely just see me ranting here and there for the next couple years as it looks like I need hold down the office and increase the future funding.

but did come up with a plan over the weekend to possibly purchase the vessel sooner and live on her in Kemah, Tx while I keep working a year or two more.

a test run -- so to speak -- but maybe not a good idea cause once I get my wife on the boat and out to sea, much harder for her to get off.

Give Princess Bay on Portland Island a try. Very nice spot.
