The Happy Pod: Getting engaged in the ashes of our home
I want to try and change people's perception on what people with disability are capable of achieving. And when people look at me, they might not think that I could sail across an ocean, never mind on my own. So I'm hoping to dispel some of their thoughts.

Yeah, sailing was a really logical choice for me because I actually live on the boat that I'm sailing across the ocean. So I've been sailing around the world for the past eight years now. It just made so much sense. For example, we just did a 600 nautical mile passage from Costa Rica to Mexico. As the sun was setting, my son and daughter would sit next to me. We'd watch the sunset.

There's dolphins in the background. It really is so magical. We got to the marina and the guys in the marina were asking what planet it was amongst themselves. And my son... Es war 3. Oh, es ist Venus. Weil wir die Sterne in den letzten 6 Tagen angeschaut haben und jeden bemerkt haben. Er lernt es. Wie ein Pirat.

Für mich ist es eine Leveling-Plattform. Mein Skillset ist das Skillset einer able-bodieden Person. Das nivelliert das Spielfeld für mich. It means I don't have to walk very far to do any of that sort of stuff. I'm a water baby anyway. So it all really suits my lifestyle. I like minimalist things and I don't feel like I need a 10-bedroom house to feel like I'm winning. I've got a

Wenn jemand gesagt hätte, ich wusste nicht, ob ich aufstehen könnte, oder ich wusste nicht, ob ich etwas tun könnte, bis ich dich gesehen habe und dir wirklich geholfen habe. Ich denke, da wäre ich so, wow, ich habe wirklich das, was ich wollte.

Ich bin es noch nicht, weil ich glaube, dass ich es nicht wirklich kann. Die einzige Möglichkeit, sich dafür zu vorbereiten, ist, ein bisschen länger zu machen, je länger du weg bist. Aber ich denke mir, ich muss es einfach rausnehmen und den Versuch machen. Und dann nehme ich es, wie es kommt.

Ich bin sehr glücklich, dass ich, wenn ich meine Eltern vermisse, zum Beispiel, sie auf dem Video anrufen kann. Und das verhindert all das Gefühl. Aber wenn es mit meinen Kindern geht, Daddy, where are you? I want to hug you. When they're sad, it really pulls on the heartstrings. I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to them off of the dock one bit. I'll probably be a blubbering mess.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing them when I arrive 70 days later. It's going to be difficult.

Meine größte Angst ist wirklich die Unwissenheit. Ich denke, Gesundheit und Sicherheit sind wahrscheinlich die größten Dinge. Und dann ist es wahrscheinlich das Wetter.

If someone said, I didn't know if I could sail until I saw you and then I tried sailing or I didn't know I could do something until I saw you and you really helped. I think that's where I'd be like, oh wow, I really did what I wanted to. I mean, hopefully I am inspiring and yeah, it's really important.

If I can inspire people, then I want to be able to do that effectively and inspire as many as possible. Yeah, for sure. It's quite important, I think.
