Before I was sailing on my Winded Voyage, I would watch the show “Naked & Afraid”. I loved it. And this episode reminded me of the show. Not That I would spend 20 days in the wild for an episode, two days in The Caldera de Taburiente was enough to see this spectacular National Park. This was the land of the Guanches, the original inhabitants for about 2000 years. It may have been Paradise for indigenous families who once lived there. For a couple of days camping and trekking here was paradise for me. I was naked and not afraid.
Ever feel like getting on your own boat and sailing away. Letting the wind just carry you on a winded voyage to your next destination. Living in the moment day by day in your own vessel that carries you on an infinite journey on a vast oceanic universe? Well, I sure have! I’m in my 50s, alone and a grandpa to three kids. Now it’s time for G-Dad, as my grand kids call me, to live his dream now. As Mark Twain once wrote, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover”.
