Hindsight is 2020
A, Sailor, Oriental, NC
The number one thing that I learned about myself is resilience. Because we were already sailing: we bought this boat a day before the Pandemic hit in the Bahamas and when we bought this boat, it was de-masted, it was broken, the entire front of it was filled with water. There were frogs living in it. At the time I had a 6 and 3 year old and we decided to dive into it by moving onto the boat and it was so hard. If I had a crystal ball and cold look into the future to see how much work it was going to be---basically thank goodness I don’t have a crystal ball, is what I’m saying. Life is hard and making choices is hard but anyways, it all ended up being so worth it. But knowing that I can do hard things and make dreams come true even if dreams aren’t always pretty! Sometimes they take a lot of work.
