Land HO! AHHHHHHHHHHHH

I can't seem to get out of the sight of land. I am stuck in Montana. Not a drop of water in sight . I keep telling myself, no pain no gain. The money is good working the oil spill, but it's not like being on Morgan. Oh. how I miss being on her. I have been watching youtube videos of sailing. I can't stand it. I want so badly to be back on Morgan, but the money is so good I just can't pass it up. For every week I spend here, I can spend another month on Morgan. If only life wasn't dependent upon money, but it is. One day though, I will be free. Free of the constraints of debt, free of the constraints of life on land. Free to do what I really want to do. Free to sail wherever  I want to go. That day will come soon. Not as soon as I would like, but soon enough. I hope by the end of the year to be to that point. And God willing I will be. Life at sea is not for the rich alone, it is for anyone who is willing to give up whatever is necessary to make it happen. Someone once said "He who is content with what he has is already rich". How true that is. You don't have to have a four bedroom, four bath home to feel rich, it can be a 25' forty year old boat, and you can feel like the king of the world. There is no place on earth I could feel more content, more at peace than in the cockpit of Morgan. I think we will be released from here around the 15th. Morgan, we shall see you soon.
