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.

Take My Money, Leave The IPOD

You may be wondering about the new music on the blog. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page you will find a playlist of songs that I added today. This list will no doubt grow as I remember more songs that I want. The reason for the sudden addition of this playlist is no laughing matter. I broke my fucking IPOD and I'm seriously considering entering myself into a mental health institute as a high risk for suicide. Seriously. Nothing worse could have happened. I was trying to plug the FM tuner into this 3 way splitter I found and while I was trying to get it connected the IPOD flew off the tuner and of course fell from the chart table area all the way to the floor in the rear cabin on the starboard side, about a 7 foot fall. Needless to say it jarred the hard drive loose and the fucker wouldn't play anything. This SUCKS. I have somewhere close to 9000 songs on that thing. So...today as a way to cope with my grief I started messing around and loading this playlist thing and the result is what you hear on the page now. Luckily my friend Sawyer was here and I sent the wounded soldier back with him. With any luck he can have it fixed and sent back to me soon. The IPOD has become my heroin and I simply cannot live without it. On the bright side it's unbelievably beautiful tonight. The moon was full last night and is still lighting up the bay brilliantly tonight. The only thing that would make this better is if I could scroll through and find some of my favorite music to listen to.
