What I put into my mind becomes my
roadmap for life.
Every word I speak takes me to a specific destination. Positive words
take me to a positive one, and negative words take me where I don’t want
to go. Positive words push my life in a positive direction.
Every picture I look at takes me to a specific destination. Positive
pictures create positive thoughts that take me to my dreams. Negative
pictures create negative thoughts that take me to my nightmares.
Every sound I hear takes me to a specific destination. I select and
listen to things that take me where I want to go. I fill my ears with
the sounds of my dreams.
I carefully chose what I put into my mind, because it becomes the
roadmap for my life. I chose words, thoughts, pictures, and sounds that
take me where I want to go.

The sea is the final frontier. It's the last place on the
planet that hasn't been divided up, regulated, restricted and
strangulated by over-reaching governments. You simply point
the bow of your yacht offshore, and instantly you are on the final
frontier.
Seventy percent of our planet's surface is water, and you have the
freedom of sailing on it from pole to pole. Water World is
yours for the taking. You have an entire world to explore.
What's your pleasure?
Are you interested in
archeological mysteries? Point your bow toward Easter
Island.
Do you like penguins and frozen climes? No problem.
Sail south for the Antarctic summer.
How about sailing in glacier land? The inside passage to
Alaska works just fine.
Do you like fjords? Which do you prefer? There's lots
to choose from in Scandanavia, New Zealand, and Chile.
Do you like Atolls? The Tuamotus have enough atolls to last
a lifetime.
How about deep sea fishing? That's easy. A day in the
Gulf Stream fulfills those dreams.
Do you want a macho
adventure? Cape Horn beckons.
Do you have an interest in endangered species? Sail up the Kumai
River and check out the orangutans of Borneo.
Would you like to learn to speak Arabic? No problem.
Spend a season cruising the Red Sea.
How about a trip back in time? Visit Nabatean Petra and
Roman Ephesus.
Did you ever wonder what it looks like inside a crusader castle?
Sail the southern Turkish coast.
Would you like to swim in turquoise water? Sail to the
Bahamas, New Caledonia, and French Polynesia.
How about sailing in the wakes of the ancient navigators?
That's easy. The trade winds will take you all the way
around the world.
The final frontier beckons, and when you set sail, the words of
Martin Luther King will echo in your mind, "Free at last, free at
last, thank God Almighty, I'm free at last."
On the final frontier, you are truly free.

The fishing boat in this picture powered across our bow as we sailed in
the southern Red Sea. These fishermen go about their business and
show little interest in passing sailboats. They might wave and
smile as they motor along, but they never stop to talk. Just like us,
they have places to go and things to do.
