and then what?

An email to friends and family quickly describes what happened next…
So I’ve gone and done something crazy…3/4 of my jobs were finishing due to seasons changing, and the fourth I quit…I packed my belongings in my green blazer (now a true turtle tortuga) and parked it in storage…a few larger items friends and family are storing (gracias friends and family!). My Douglas fir father took 3 bags and my red headed self to the airport, where i leap frogged planes to Barra de Navidad, Mexico. There I met Brian, a mutual friend of mine and Nick’s (a former college mate), who has a boat and is planning to sail to the south pacific. I shall join him and it shall be amazing.

This wasn’t an easy decision, to go on a trip of the kind I have never been on, to not know when I was returning, to leave faces and places I know and love dearly, to leave again grandparents who i love with my whole heart, who are moving house and moving on, to hop a boat with someone I just met and share trust and lives with this person, to fulfill a dream I have had for years…
