Sailing is the ultimate teacher of life lessons and I am ever aware of how sailing parallels life. Generally in life, we do our best to avoid problems – we steer around the storms whenever possible. Some storms are unavoidable, and a sailor learns that when you are overtaken by a storm, the best option is to face it head on. Running from the inevitability of a storm is futile (and it gets your cockpit all wet.) That doesn’t mean a sailor gives ground to a storm, nor does it mean in life you would back down from your problems. Some storms are not so easy to ride out. When the adrenaline wears off, you have to dig deeper. Persevere and hold your ground, sailor, and know that it will pass. It will pass.
