Welcome to the Pacific Ocean 🎉

Agreed! One must get on the ocean regularly if one is to make legit decisions about maritime policies! And it's just plain good for the soul to go sailing on blue water. Especially single-handed!!! Morro Bay is wonderful.

You definitely need an inexperienced deck hand

Been to Morro Bay many times - truly lovely. Enjoy, John!

Living the dream and words of wisdom. Curious, does she heave to in heavy weather when reefed properly? Sail on!

That is absolute pure freedom. Watching this on repeat while eating lunch at my desk in cubicle world. You’re living my dream.

🤩

You don't have to dodge windmills, yet...

That looks so fun, reminds me of sailing with my dad

The delight in your eyes is wonderful. Hope you get to do it again, soon.

Let me get my Hobie 21 out and we can have a race.

How many miles will this race be?

@ginthegin Enjoy Skipper! Semper Fi

Only been on a boat north of Point Conception once and for me that was one time too many.

I hear ya

How many navy admirals can rig and handle that boat?

Not many would be my guess

You look like a sausage in the life jacket.

Morro Bay is beautiful, enjoy it. I visited a few times when I was doing some work in San Luis Obispo.

Looking good Billy Ray

"The sea is selective; slow at recognition of effort and aptitude, but fast in sinking the unfit."

The best start to a day. So happy for you.

Exercising those sea legs... Godspeed.

It's neat that the aviation & marine worlds share so much. Terminology, navigation concepts, weather, & that competence-is-a-life-&-death-matter gravitas. I fly sailplanes in addition to power, & that is really just sailing a boat, but using air moving vertically vs horizontally.

You look so happy! Good decision 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

More pictures of the boat!

Lovely but that teak needs doing! 🤣🤣🤣

At least the maritime police patrols leave the people operating sailboats alone when they have had too many drinks.

This boat is too dangerous to operate drunk so I wouldn’t know 🤷‍♂️

Sailboats are a lot of fun. One minute it is peace and serenity and then something goes very wrong.

My neck of the woods. Beautiful

Hey captain, keep freedom of navigation goin 🫡

Make a run for Marquesas Islands!!!

Looks like fun!

Getting some fresh salt in your beard!

You look so happy!!! 😁 It is beautiful! I love the sea, boats, subs, ships, and the Navy. Even pirate stories of old. There us no freaking way I am getting on a boat, of any kind. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Bad luck for me. 🤷‍♀️😖🫣😑

Your "hooeee" reminded me of Justin Wilson - Cajun chef who had a program on PBS back in the day, lol. Enjoy your sail.

I love your content haha…breathe of fresh air

No conference? Smart choice.

Just don't get too close San Diego. You'll get into that Mexican sewage!

Come to Luzon... :)
