Back again (crossing the Atlantic in a few)

Are you really going to drink both whiskey and two bottles of wine, he asked with a worried look. You sober people do not understand this, she said and took a gulp of the wine. Please leave me to be at least a bit destructive in case the plane would fail and crash.

We're at home now. I never though I could miss a thing of material to this extent, but this boat - our home - most definitely have gotten me addicted. We both feel restless and anxious and worried as soon as we've been away from her for more than a day and it is hard to even imagine what strong bonds of attachment and separation anxiety one must experience when having own kids of flesh and blood to worry about, when only a boat can make you feel this much pain. Anyways, we're at home now and all is good. We'll be finalizing the last preparations tomorrow and then we're meant to be off for a long journey across the Atlantic. Can't wait to get it all started. /T

Anonymous said...: I do enjoy your blog very much and, as a sailor, am excited for you. Having just put our second daughter on a plane for Bilbao, Spain tonight for her semester abroad at Deusto, I can definitely understand the uneasiness of being away from something you love. On the other hand, it is very exciting to see your kids grow up and become adults.; January 9, 2011 at 8:06 PM

TT said...: Anonymous 1: I can only imagine how that must feel, both the positive sides and the uneasiness. Sometimes I even think that I do not dare to get kids as I would be in a constant worry with which I will not be able to deal with. This world is so evil that I'm not sure if I ever will have the guts to put another human being onto it.

Baydog: Oh Gin is too much for me. I haven't learned to drink that bitterness yet. I'll stick to wine and whiskey! (and maybe a shot of Tequila if I have the chance).
