Sometimes it’s good to let go of things and start with something new. And this is one of those moments. I’m ready to let her go, ready to move into a new chapter of my life.

It’s with a heavy heart but also with joy that I announce that my dear beloved Guppy will move to a new home with a new life. However a very good life. She’s going to move to Los Angeles and sail in a non profit organization called LifeSail. They run various sailing and boat building programs for children with the goal of helping children navigate through life’s challenges 🙂 Their ideas about life are incredibly similar to mine: Helping kids with core life skills, finding their true potential trough some fun sailing and encourage them to live their dreams.
And so I’m super exited for Guppy to go there and support their great cause.
It’s been a wonderful turn of events, although I’m still a bit freaked out about the idea of not owning a boat for a little while to come. Yikes! Will see how long I manage to live on land without driving Daniel crazy 😉 At least I’ve still got my minicats ( and lots of sailor friends) But oh how I will miss being rocked to sleep, fixing things onboard, fiddling around with electrics, plumping, sails etc etc.. I’m starting to realize how much I actually like doing all that. After all, sailing around the world really is just doing boat work in exotic places 😉
