Enjoyed your self-questioning Tim! You would enjoy my new book "Salt Horse" which came out end-April. It's the memoir of a maverick admiral who lived half or more of his life afloat 1877-1963. Another world, of course. We only fly once a year now but it is London-Cape Town return (to our 5-week timeshare in CT in Feb-March). After moe than 35 years travelling the world for a living, I suppose I will die heavily in debt re my carbon footprint. Can't really be avoided now (I'm 81 next month). Jeff Trimble told me about your freelancing and sub-stacking. Good luck!
Enjoy Ireland! I went to Trinity Dublin 1962-66 - a great university you should visit if you're ever in Dublin. Not too much sailing here on the Thames in Chiswick but we have a lot of rowing to watch! Cape Town is rather a long way away! Good luck!
I don't. I've reached a point in life where I just want to try and live my life doing the least harm possible. Sounds woo-woo, but for me it feels right. Plus, I find a varied plant-based diet pretty tasty.
Another fantastic and inspiring post! I wholeheartedly agree that adapting to a more climate-friendly, sustainable lifestyle offers more gifts than it requires “sacrifices.” I love hearing about your journey because it fuels my own. I’m patching up an ancient Hobie 18 to sail on a High Sierra lake, not crossing oceans… yet… but I love feeling like part of a culture shift 💜

Great to hear from you, Robin. And your book looks fascinating. Maybe one day I will sail into Cape Town!

Hey Tim, do you ever consider partaking of the plentiful fruits of the ocean that you travel upon? Just curious. Nice reasoning and writing! Thanks.

You are proving that anyone can jump into this culture shift in their own way. And find their own particular rewards.
And three cheers for Don Street, a sailor to admire!
