But I'm NOT a Crazy Adventurer...

I recently had a chance to chat with Emiily COles of Diabetes Hands Foundation to discuss how adventure pulled me out of my diabetes depression and a little bit about the Sea Peptide Adventure Academy.

Someday-I-Will

I see a white sail,

Skipping cross a blue bay,

And I say Someday I Will.

Don't need to know who,

May help you make it come true,

Just say Someday I Will.

Don't have to work it all out,

Don't have to tear it all apart,

All you need's a place to start.

--"Someday I Will" Jimmy Buffett

Some people have a bucket list. I have a Someday-I-Will list, my list of future projects that I am not currently in the process of making happen. And one by one I hope to take them off this list and put them on the Current Goal List, just like I have recently done with the Swim Around Key West and previously with the Long Distance Solo Sail.

I have been reading The Power of Less, which suggests that you become very public with your goals. So I am going to do just that and post my Someday-I-Will list. I may add to it and change it from time to time, but I hope to complete it all, someday.

1. TRANSPAC- a sailing race from Long Beach, CA to Honolulu, HI.

2. Run or bike the coast of an entire state (Probably a small one)

3. Take my family on a one or more month-long cruise on a sailboat

4. Take a long-distance, multi-day SUP/camping trip on the Intercoastal Waterway

5. Write a full-length screenplay

6. Make a short movie

7. Travel- Eastern seaboard of US, Ireland, New Zealand, US Virgin Islands, Southern Pacific Islands, Costa Rica

8. See Jimmy Buffett in a spontaneous show in a small bar, Flogging molly in an Irish Pub ….9. Finish converting Come Monday, my 12’ wooden boat built from scratch, into a sailboat.

So what is on your Someday-I-Will list? Maybe I can steal some ideas to add to my list.

Take a Peak Inside My Writers Studio

TuDiabetes is a terrific site for social networking amongst diabetics. They also run several outreach projects including the Big Blue Test coming up in November. Emily Coles also does live interview with some pretty cool people in the diabetes community.

I had the great opportunity to sit down with her (me in my studio, her in her office) and chat a little about my background in sailing and the beginnings of my book, Islands and Insulin.
