TURQUOISE DREAMS
From the first time I saw photos of sailboats anchored in crystal clear water, I have had turquoise dreams.
When I think about all the favorite places I visited on my trip
around the world, the one thing that all destinations shared in common
was turquoise water.
The salubrious effect of turquoise renews my spirit and mind.
When I put my anchor down in turquoise paradise, it's like
discovering the fountain of youth. No matter what my age or
stage in life, when I jump into the turquoise depths, I feel like
a kid again. My eyes sparkle with the beauty that surrounds
me on all sides.
One of the best things about turquoise dreams is that they are
affordable. They usually cost substantially less than living
ashore, less than a thousand dollars a month. In
turquoise territory, I'm not tied to docks or marinas.
Instead, my anchor is down in paradise, and I live off the stores
on board Exit Only.
The cost of living high in "civilization" sinks more sailing dreams than icebergs,
reefs, and storm-tossed seas combined. Most of us can barely
afford to continue with our land-based existence. The only
sensible thing to do is to cash in our freedom chips and set sail
for turquoise destinations where we can live within our means.
There's no doubt about it. When I live my turquoise dreams,
life is good.

helping keep my turquoise dreams alive.
