Hi DJ: Long-term plans? When Bitcoin hits an all-time high, I am going to upgrade to a bigger boat and sail around the world
(it's always good to dream
) haha
Dreams are always a fabulous thing to pursue!
I've always wanted to hit the lottery and do the same. But a number of years ago, I realized that following my dream was more important. While hitting the lottery would be a very nice to have - it was not within my control so I figured I'd better find a way to do this that is within my control. It also helped me to more clearly define the dream. When I was younger, solo sailing was fine - not that I really wanted to solo sail, but it was just how it was always working out. At my current age, I can say I do not want to solo sail - especially on long trans-oceanic legs. Therefore, how to get around that predicament has been an area of research for me.
I guess what I'm saying in all this is, I'd caution you in relying on aspects of a dream that are outside your control. Build your dream using what is within your control and hey, if a bonus gets thrown in there, even better!
If you're interested in solo sailing around the world, I have a friend doing that right now. She sailed out of Europe, spent time in the Caribbean, passed through the Panama Canal and is now on her Pacific leg. If you would like, I can pass on her information to you. Lovely person and I'm sure she would be open to talking with you about it. But I would leave that to you two. Let me know if you are interested in getting her info.
