Are you sad because he has a life?


What you lubbers choose to call a *life* is little
more than an illusion. You lubbers end up being slaves
to what your society calls the *norm*. What you really
are is a bunch of automatons who proceed through life
pretty much in lock step with all the other marching
drones. What you call a life, we real sailors call
unnecessary clutter which is the result of conspicuous
consumerism. Your life is a sham, a construct that
benefits those who control you the most and you the
least.

So, don't presume to judge a free man on the basis
of your slavery.

I live aboard year and sail 24/7 (season permitting) with the exception of winters when I still live on my boat but can't sail. It's not fun sailing the North Atlantic in the winters. So don't judge.
