As a lot of you know my son is quite a sailor in his own right. Using almost
exclusively his own savings, he bought a 22 foot (not a Rhodes) sailboat in
Greece when he was only 17, he is 25 now,.  He proceeded to sail all around
the Med for parts of the next 5 years and has just arrived in Croatia to
pick up the boat and sail that beautiful coast.  He has no family to take
care of and spends his time perfecting and studying his ceramic techniques
by working with noted artist here and most recently in Japan.  After a
couple of months in Croatia he goes to Denmark to a ceramic center as artist
in residence there for a month and then to Hungary for a similar gig (as
Slim would say).  He drives a scooter, and when in the states for short
periods of time as he describes it he "tucks tail and stays with his folks".
(in exchange we get to use his boat in Greece)  He has spent many months
each year cruising all over the Med.  He isn't a formal teacher (though he
is going to the university next year to get his degree to eventually do so,
I think).  He supports himself selling his work and has just put up a
website  www.continuouslyclay.com    So, there are ways to take those 3 or
more months off each year to go sailing, not necessarily in a conventional
manner, nor with what most of use would consider necessities.

We can't change the angle of the wind....but we can adjust our sails.
