getting sharper

Many months ago I began exercising to build tone. Like an automoton consumer, I scheduled weekends off. 

But then I realised it detracted from my routine and focus. So I adopted a daily frequency and my results and attitude strengthened. Does this impact on our "working for the man" work lives? Creating confusion among workers. 

Then, at times, being single, while taking beneficial rests between reps I hit upon doing brief housework tasks. When my breath has been restored and muscles relaxed, back to my routine.

Just lately, sensing the days were flying by and my list of home repair jobs was only getting longer, I hit upon the idea of doing one repair each morning. So it looks like; 3x10 weights, gather tools, 50 x pushups, start dismantling. And so on. 

So now as I finish my morning routine, I Aldo have an added high thatom knocking another job off your to do list. 

All moving towards a future of sailing and bugger all else. 

My new hero is Webb Chiles. For those that don't know his sailing resume, take a look. He's penned a few good books about sailing smaller boats over long distances. Anyway, Webb has aged and is now in his 70's, but still sails. He sails a small fin keeler, with no headroom and tall rig. The type of boat you'd see rounding the buoys on the lake. The fit out is simple, the entire boat is simple. He eats dehydrated food, drinks wine and listens to classical music and speaks poetically about simple pleasures, like sailing. 

His latest series of videos record a recent trip he took, sailing across the Gulf Stream and 300 nm east of his shoreside home. After a suitable duration, he sails back. Why? He loves the sea.

Webb Chile's on Gannet.
