I love your story and I feel and understand all your challenges, passions and questions. I have always dreamed of sailing and living on a boat and traveling the world. Hearing and seeing your slide show reminded me it’s possible. Thank you. Follow the winds and the water. You’ll find your place.

Thanks Tory. I’m a big fan of following your passion, too. Thus Three Sheets Northwest. We appreciate the kind words. Moving from being a writer to doing photography and audio is a great deal of challenging fun. Video is up next, so stay tuned. We’d love to talk more about it.

Marty,

Five years ago, I decided to combine my passion for filmmaking with my passion for sailing. It can be done! You just need to make some adjustments in priorities. Your stills and narrative are great story. Would love to see you shoot some video. We should talk.

Keep sailing gets my vote!

I’m 57 myself and not long ago faced the same situation you’re in. To make matters worse I’m a newly wed.

I’m the luckiest man in the world. My wife shares my passion for sailing and about two years ago we made the decision to become full time cruisers. Since that day all my efforts have been towards that goal.

I’m a freelance writer. One of the jobs I contracted for was as a marina reviewer for an annual publication. I also write articles for several yachting magazines.

This is a kind of Field of Dreams answer or suggestion, but … if you build it, they WILL come. There’s no reason you can’t make career and passion for sailing companions in life instead of having to choose one over the other. It just takes determination.

Go for it!!
