First of all, sailing is hard work. When you are sailing you have to focus on it. You have to give your full attention. Saling is not always comfortable. Sometimes I feel like I'm living on a roller coaster. You have to consider how you use water, electricity and food. İf you are sailing in the night you have to do night watch every two hours. You have to get used to wind, sea and engine voices. You have to learn that your plan can always change… As an aspie, this part is not easy for me to handle but I get used to it. So I understood why sailing is not everybody's cup of tea. But I love it… I enjoy it...
My life totally changed when I was diagnosed with Autism at age fifty two. I explore this in the the SUDDENLY AUTISTIC/ASPIE section of my blog.The WANDERINGS section is for sharing about walking, hiking, travelling and sailing with Karisma. Karisma's Captain Andy Parker contributes to this part too. In 2020 I spent 6 months in the Elan Valley. I wrote about my experience in the ELAN VALLEY section of the blog.
