How to be the one they leave behind.

Hey virtual voyagers!

First, thanks to all the people who’ve reached out about Randall’s news to check in and see if I’m ok with the decision to basically extend the project by a whole extra year. I’m 100% in support of the plan. And for those of you who know me well, you know that I make the best of the situation when Randall is out at sea. Don’t tell Randall! 🙂

Second, a while back I asked the Figure 8 Facebook community if I should speak at the upcoming West Coast Boat show about what it’s like to be the one left behind. The presentation would be to those leaving about what I go through staying behind, and also to help to those contemplating letting their other half leave how not to lose one’s mind. The response was an overwhelming “do it!”

So if you’re in the Bay Area on April 22nd come see me speak at the West Coast Boat Show (click on the link for ticket information), I’m speaking at 10.30am. I’ll also be joining the awesome folks at Latitude 38 in their booth afterward. I promise to have plenty of wry wisdom and stories to make you laugh.

If my shenanigans aren’t enticing enough, there will be lots of very expensive fancy sailboats you can climb aboard and pretend you want to buy. Its fun!

Hope to see you on the 22nd!
