Health, injury, family in need and so on can pull us away from our preferred course.<br /><br />So, a personal crisis or a return to Germany in some caretaking role is a case-in-point waiting to happen. She, and I with her, may 'choose' a round hole. Seize the day, I'd say, and I won't again let go of Love! <br /><br />Good thing I've got a rich, internal life. 8)<br /><br />Dave Z<br /><br />Dave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-33140468483938666262012-03-05T04:54:36.664-09:002012-03-05T04:54:36.664-09:00Having been somewhat on both sides of a story simi...Having been somewhat on both sides of a story similar to this one, I can observe that it isn't possible to long live happily in a way contrary to one's deepest convictions or natural inclinations. I would say, as much anguish you may have felt in going your separate ways the first time, your choice was a wise one--for the both of you. Much harm is done in the cause of whittling square pegs into round holes--even in the name of love. I would like to believe love conquers all, but it doesn't. It is the reason to do everything that can be done, but everything cannot be done simply because of love alone. How apt is the second part of your story, in that you both have found each other and share a similar vision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-74200580957222514682012-02-27T15:41:18.431-09:002012-02-27T15:41:18.431-09:00Hi Crew of SV SB!

And knowing you both can attest to your devotion to each other and complete (and universal) compatibility. Your love and your relationship with each other are inspirational (and motivational). <br />Thinking of you with admiration-- crew of SV Spirit Bear, Sitka AKSV Spirit Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06769427917458091501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-71572766448777934842012-02-15T16:22:13.723-09:002012-02-15T16:22:13.723-09:00Hi Eric,

I had been interested for about 5 years, at the time we met, but without much success finding my way afloat. <br /><br />A friend needed a caretaker for his US22 just as we got together, and insisted we sail it ("I trust you'll fix what you break and more, so go ON!"). So we took our first, wobbly baby steps together.<br /><br />Not so much belonging TO a different race, as being IN a different one. Hope to meet you out here!<br /><br />DaveDave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-63771744077680861392012-02-15T15:03:03.149-09:002012-02-15T15:03:03.149-09:00Great post, Dave.

But in Alaska? :-)<br /><br />When I was living aboard I found that those who live on boats are almost a different race of people, and one that I enjoyed very much. I found they almost invariably were free thinkers, open and enjoying life.<br /><br />Blessings!elighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03739921945552315757noreply@blogger.com
