For me it means seeking new ways of doing things, and simply enjoying the aesthetic of the here and now.<\/p>\n<p><i>Learning<\/i>\u00a0\u2026 never stop\u00a0learning. Living off the prescribed path is a great way to foster this.<\/p>\n<p><i>Adventure<\/i>\u00a0comes in all forms, be it the big sail, or the small walk. I will never shatter records, discover new things, or challenge the gods of nature in any way, but I do enjoy poking into that unknown cove, or trying that weird looking vegetable.<\/p>\n<p><i>Freedom<\/i>\u00a0drives much of what we do. To me freedom is the ability to do what I want, when I want. It\u2019s an ideal which is never full reached, but I can do some things to go toward the\u00a0<i>Form of Freedom<\/i>. For me (and not necessarily for anyone else):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I avoid debt (b\/c this is one of the ways our society keeps people chained to the treadmill).<\/li>\n<li>Keep mechanical &amp;\u00a0electrical\u00a0systems simple (b\/c I\u2019m not much of handyman).<\/li>\n<li>And live inexpensively, (b\/c I\u2019m kinda lazy and don\u2019t like wage work).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>Cessation<\/i>\u00a0is my active way of ceasing to be part of the problem. From over-consumption to financial greed, my society does great harm to the planet we all call home. I don\u2019t have the energy to try and save the world, but I can stop being part of the problem (at least to some degree).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our cruising plans quite intentionally have a certain philosophical approach;\u00a0CLAFC:\u00a0Creativity,\u00a0Learning,\u00a0Adventure,\u00a0Freedom &amp;\u00a0Cessation.
