Just Sitting

[Mister E]

I am on the boat and it is a lovely sunny day with light winds, perfect for sailing.
However I just want to sit here and enjoy the relaxing feeling but part of me thinks I should be doing something.
At the moment drinking tea and relaxing is winning.

" I should be doing something."

You are doing something, relax, enjoy the moment and don't listen to the silent sneaky goading of the Rat Race syndrome.

Over come your Anglo-Saxon work ethic and go latino

 

[MADRIGAL]

Give thanks for the day and enjoy your tea.

Says man whose only experience of sailing is to look at boats, say I might buy this, then find a reason not to.
Do not take advice from this person!

Life is too short to feel guilty for doing what you enjoy

When the sun moves over the yardarm you can move onto something stronger after all it is Friday.

I've heard about people that refuse a drink until a given time of the day or day of the week. Even countries where serving beer before 12:00 is forbidden and in all cases only served with food.

I don't get it.

My desire for coffee, food, water, beer, wine etc. comes from a natural "I'd love a xxx just now" and that is it. 24/7/365

This is my solution to that problem - to fill up the time before the next tea, stretch out in the cockpit and work on the sun-tan.

"Stretch"? Sounds too strenuous to me!

I can only conclude that there are numerous people who have successfully found a way of getting away from their wives. I'm sure that there must have been occasions during my fifty years of cruising when I sat and did nothing but none come to mind.

Since I retired from work, one of the hardest things I've had to learn is how to do nothing without feeling guilty.

But as long as I achieve something every day, whether it be a little gardening, housework or tidying, then I feel the day hasn't been wasted.

I wish I could slow down,if I start something it seems I have an unwritten deadline to finish it

Today was paddle board with the grandchildren now the bbq.

Doctor a long time ago gave me this bit of advice: You should never work in between meals!

 

[Pirx]

Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits ......

Just enjoy it. The majority of boats in our club don't move from one year to the next. But the owners are usually sitting drinking tea in the cockpit... sailing is very strenuous.

 

[Mister E]

Today's relaxing is the tractor clutch the bike ride with the grandchildren.

I think that I need to go to the boat again.

Whatever you do - don't try and start the motor. Something will go wrong and need fixing!
