This my be a curious question: But are there any people that don't intend on retiring? A lot of succesful businessmen, artists and creative people etc, work right up until they die - Not because they necessarily have to, but because what they do is who they are, as opposed to the majority of people who just work their jobs counting the days down until they can stop? Ie. their jobs are simply means to an end (which is pretty unfortunate really).

Personally, I'd be bored out of my mind sailing around, sitting in harbour until I kicked the bucket... I've been on the water now for 7 months, with no money, and the entire time I've been figuring out ways to do it - That has actually made half the journey. If I just set sail with $10,000 in my pocket, while I'd have something nice to eat and probably a bigger boat, I think something would be seriously lacking... This lack of comfort and money has kept me on my toes - My head is constantly in overdrive thinking about how to get to the next port... And that's kind of exciting in a weird way.

This probably sounds a little funny, considering the number of posts I've written saying 'holy cow I've run out of money what do I do now?' However, that being said... Somehow, I write to you from English Harbour in Antigua... nick.
