Have you ever felt that life has become too small? I do and am.
I wrote more and have deleted it.
May life again become epic.
I can no longer make changes to the main site, www.inthepresentsea.com, which is now frozen in time, as I will be myself soon enough. Anything more will be added here. The contact at the main site has become unreliable, so I have created a new email address and can be reached at webbchiles@yahoo.com. The Yellowbrick tracking page for GANNET when I am at sea is: https://my.yb.tl/gannet

Living an epic life, and on your own terms. I bet. Only you can really decide that. Godspeed in your decision.

Long may you remain larger than life, Webb ;)
Webb - Perhaps it is time to accelerate the five year plan into a three year plan?
Scott
That is perceptive, Scott, and I have considered doing so, but won’t. I always have stuck to my five year plans and will this one even though I sometimes get restless and impatient.
Remind us Webb…how many years is it into this five year plan?
Cheers and Happy New Year.
Two. The five years will be completed if I am still alive and in good health when I am 85 in November 2026.
Reflecting through the midnight hours on the word 'Epic'. At one time mainstream media were full of epic exploits. Mountains climbed, oceans explored, extraordinary journeys accomplished and so on.
Whole bookracks filled with subsequent accounts by individuals who became household names. Meissner, Haston, Tilman, Moitessier, Knox-Johnston, Wally Herbert, Ranulf Fiennes,David Lewis, Clare Francis, Robyn Davidson... Along the way,no small number who sought a 'feather bed' of publicity, did indeed stir up tabloid fame, but then - in failing - prompted a blaze of further speculation and publicity.
For decades such lists ran on.
Yet it seems Younger people today would be so very hard pressed to create a similar list of oustanding personalities in their own generation. Is it because there are simply too many doing things, or is the world now made to be obsessed by local political failures and international trivia instead?
'Epic' when pushing boundaries was aspirational.
In less epic times ? I send contentment for 2024. Tom
Great artists such as you...your mediums are the wind, and your words...give ordinary dudes like me inspiration. I think you live every day in an epic way by being who you are; an epic dude. Thank you!
