Sailing

Sailing in the gulf of Mexico is one of the most enlightening experiences a person can do. As you look out across that endless horizon of water the first thing that hits your brain is this is total freedom there is no boundaries you can go any where in the world from here just a clear path to anywhere if you are not afraid
and if you are prepared and smart and resourceful .
 You can sail from Houston Tx. to Key West Fl. in about a week with good weather now you can get there
a lot faster by plane or car but its not the same. The man who buys a motor boat wants to get somewhere the man who buys a sailboat is already there. Once you get old enough to realize life is the journey its not where your going its what road did you take to get there that's what is important.Who are the people around you are they the people you love and that love you. There is nothing more important than that. This life we live with all the phones and computers and TVs and radio and all the other noise. We never hear our own heart beat or breath we miss so much and become so desensitized because of all the ambient noise around us. The sound of the ocean and the brightness of the stars in the night skies on the pitch black waters will bring you back to another place and time
when you were young and could feel with all your senses. Walking in a field playing in a park just you and the
sounds of nature.You could hear the birds singing the bees buzzing the small animals barking and squeaking.
That's what going sailing in the ocean will do tune you back in to the real world. Not a course that's just a big ship full of noise no a small 50 ft sailboat so you can feel the ocean no smaller than 50 ft. you don't want to go in open water in anything smaller that is to dangerous. This will change your perspective and put you back
on track as far a who you are and what is your place in this world. Some people go camping in the mountains
some go fishing at lakes any place to get away.But the ocean is the ultimate because of the fear factor yes when you get out on the ocean you are out of your element and you are afraid that heightens your senses your food tastes better the air you breath is fresher everything is better. So if you get a chance go sailing.
By all means go and get back in touch with your self.
