SAILING: 'THE MOST EXPENSIVE WAY TO TRAVEL FOR FREE!!'IS IT WORTH IT? - The experience of beating yourself over the head while you slowly go broke. IS IT WORTH the cost, the tiredness, the constant physical involvement, the constant awareness and concession to weather, the constant attention to detail?YES! YESSS!!! The amazing serendipitous experiences. The freedom to exist twixt wind and water, to float into a world in constant change, to visit peoples in far flung places, to engage your needs in challenging environments both physical and cultural, to witness the world as a fluid world, to contend with tides and currents and breezes and violent storms, often beyond your ability to anticipate, yet find times of peace and serenity and awe. All these things make the sailing life unique, addictive and a swing between euphoria and harsh reality. Sailing Life: The Greatest Adrenaline Rush: Helane.In SE ASIA and EAST I share some of the places, the people, the weather, the scenery, the difficulties, the joys experienced in 2018 as VELELLA sails Bali to Mooloolaba via far eastern Indonesia, PNG, and Solomon Islands.
