I'm Shane. For those of you who don't already know me welcome to the Chaos that is my life. Join me as I travel around the world on a sailboat. I walked away from a great career as a professional firefighter, a large luxurious home, everything I owned and even gave away my best friend Drake the dog. Why you ask? To travel the world on a boat. Cruising to foreign places all at 5 mph. From the Caribbean now to South America soon, I hope you will dig reading about all the ridiculous situations I will no doubt get myself into as I continue trying to adjust to this radical life switch.

*Update* So after over a year of not blogging I'm going to start again. I am spending the summer season on Catalina Island of the coast of California living onboard a 65 foot diveboat and teaching diving. I'm sure there will be plenty of chaos to follow.

Drinking in Provo

For the last two days the wind has been blowing like hell, upwards of 20 plus knots. We were wanting to leave tomorrow morning for the Salt Cay but I have talked to a lot of local Captains and they say to wait til the weekend. The Caicos banks are 60 nautical miles across and it's only 8-10 feet deep all the way. Gonna be wild. Right now I'm sitting on the rear of the boat waiting for my new buddy E-Z to come pick me up. He is the bartender at the Tiki Hut, the bar right next to the marina. We are going to some bar called Danny Boys down in Grace Bay. He is closing up shop at the Hut and it looks like it's gonna be a long night for old Shane. I'm already well on my way to being shit-housed fucked in half drunk and I'm sure it's not gonna stop early. At least I get a little break while I'm waiting for him to finish.
