and some food for thought, albeit not from me but oh so true. In case
you don't want to read further and just want our position it was
04*18'S/028*22'W. We are 600nm from Fortaleza and if conditions prevail
we will arrive there on Tuesday afternoon. We have sailed up to a
position just east of Fortaleza on a run, and have now turned straight
towards Fortaleza on a broad reach. No longer two headsails, mainsail
second reef and genoa first reef and we are doing exceedingly well. The
boat and sails are nicley balanced and we are making the most of the
cards we are dealt with. Nick has just let the lure out again and we can
now turn around much faster should we get a strike, simply just tack.
Sounds simple but there are a few tricks involved in making it fast and
smooth. Hoping for a few reasons that we will have to do this, one to
teach the crew something new about sailing and two to land a fish. The
following was send to me and I would love to share it with you, so here
we go.
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life,
Attitude to me, is more important than facts.
it is more important than the past, than education,than money,than
circumstances.than failures,than success. than what other people think
or
say or do.
it is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a person a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice everydag regarding the attitude
we
will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past.
We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have and that is
our
ATTITUDE.
I AM CONVINCED THAT LIFE IS 10% WHAT happens to me and 90% how I react
to
it.
and so it is with you
Troubles come to all of us, it's a natural part of life. The most
important
thing of all is how we respond to them.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Captain Paul
