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.

Gone for good

CON LA SABIDURIA QUE DA LA EXPERIENCIA.

That's it. I'm finally gone for good. At the moment I'm sitting on the floor of the LAX airport awaiting my flight that has been delayed more than two hours. Perfect. We don't take off until 3 AM now. I'm sure all of you can appreciate how incredibly busy I have been for the short week I had back at home. For those of you that I didn't get to spend much time with, please know I was just so overwhelmed and those of you who know me well know exactly how much my friends mean to me. I can honestly say it's a small wave of relief to be officially done and out of California, for however long I stay. The hardest parts of the week was my four year old niece telling me how much she was gonna miss me and asking if she could come visit me on the pirate ship. She is however very excited about having an Uncle who is a pirate of the Caribbean. Also dropping off the dog for the last time wasn't easy. Especially when he ran up to the truck as I was trying to pull out. These are all sacrifices that I have chosen to make in order to chase the dream. I will miss you all terribly and I really hope you will all e-mail me when you get time, I truly love hearing from everyone as I go. I will update as I go and post pics when possible. I'm going to try and sleep a little before the flight. Until next time, I will leave you with the words of my man Puss in Boots.

La vida es corta, vivela.
