| My father worked his whole life. Came down with ALS. Died an horrible death. My mother raised 10 children, primary caretaker for my father and worked a job. Developed Alzheimer's and died a horrible death. I was a primary care taker for both my mother and father. After watching both of my parents work their entire lives and not enjoy a retirement I decided that if there is something you want to do DO IT! My entire life I have dreamed about traveling around the world. I am a F1 fan. Last year the Monaco Grand Prix was on my birthday and I was there. Assisted a gentleman relocate his 40 foot mono haul from Brighton UK to Las Palma to help him complete one of his life long dreams of participating in the ARC. Stayed on board and participated in the ARC. I am looking for an opportunity to continue my dream to sail around the world. | |
