One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I raced in a sailing regatta to Hawaii from San Francisco. It took seven days and those were some of my roughest days on the water. At one point, halfway across, we reached a point called "can't go back, can't go forward." where currents dont quite push you or pull you, and you are the furtherest away from land you can be on sea. It was nighttime, stars scattered across the sky, horizon completely undetectable, sea melting into sky. one of the most surreal moments I have ever experienced. made me appreciate everything we have, and how quickly you can lose it.

Teach, Learn, Share

We all have something to learn from one another and something to give to each other. Would love to share experiences and stories in return for the same. We grow through the experiences we share.
