Not much going on it this video. We took a bashing in the Irish Sea ..with force 6 and 7 later in the night was a long night.. it was a beat the whole trip up. We also ripped a clew on the head sail... it’s understandable the high winds as we had deep lows everywhere as a storm was soon to follow. But we were safe and sound in Whitehaven by then.
MOTIVATION FROM THE SKIP - POSITIVE MIND !! POSITIVE LIFE
No matter what demons go round in your head no matter how bad circumstances are in your life only you can change it. Trust me I’m doing it. I have seen people make excuses after excuses instead of making that choice “let’s leave a story and a mark in life” so many people resort to that dead end life back to things they do all the time in normal life. We as humans were not designed to live the life we all know today. People are afraid of the unknown and adventure,people are afraid to let go of the normal because they think what society has told them is right. “ wake up” your life is over fast and you “don’t always have time” do not believe that” as that’s the excuses. People think years ahead of themselves. Question::: will you still be alive in x amount of years are you 100% sure you will? Your life can change in the blink of an eye. For me I wish I would of started what I’m doing a long time ago. I was very inspired by a man I met on my last trip his name was Jean he had sailed around the world alone many years back on the very same 8mtr boat he has today. How did he inspire me. He left for America with no money his engine broke even before he got out of English Channel but he carried on and he sailed on. What it taught me you don’t need lots of money are any big fancy boat you just need balls it’s a man I will never forget because he gave me more drive than he knows. I see so many younger people fucking there own lives up, I see people drink like mad and after it all what have you achieved “nothing” only a hangover,what have you seen “nothing”. Wake up people, wake up friends. You have one short life leave your mark become a legend not a bell end. Everything in life I put all into it “no excuses” when I do something I have to keep pushing it’s how my head is wired it keeps me in a good place it keeps that buzz of life it keeps you pushing it keeps you living on the edge. It’s not for everyone it’s for those that life on the edge and love the though of “live everyday like it’s your last”..I will tell my whole story when I reach the 1k subscribers on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXDL... .. you will be surprised what goes on In the skipper James mind. You will wonder how. But it will show you that anything is possible ... but it’s why I have to keep doing what I’m doing.................”not everything is visible to the eye”
