Butterflies go South, Chickens Don't

Committed to Go; this is it... I'm mentally and physically prepared for the trip. I've done trips much more difficult than this. My boat is up to the challenge, and I have skills surpassing 95% of what I'll be facing on the trip. As for the other 5%? Well, I did say "surpassing"...

So then, what are these little nagging nervous feelings? I think it is probably that that I am not fortunate enough to be independently wealthy or in retirement... and I like my things! The way mental and physical preparation can make one feel at ease with the challenge of  a trip like this, the same goes for being financially prepared.

In my case this doesn't necessarily mean to have a stockpile of cash lying around, rather I've taken the "4 Hour Work Week" approach ( a book by Tim Ferris ). Mind you; I've read the book and completely admit to being a casual follower of the principles at best... but the book did change the way I look at work and specifically, how I can do the things I want to do now.

That said; I'm off to the boat for more tweaking and day dreaming.
