Sea Overload


So it has been a while since I updated this blog but I have still been incredibly active in my pursuit of exploring my passion for the sea. Thursday I was up in London at a Cruise Ship jobs fair and Greenwich Maritime Museum and yesterday I was over at Warsash to see the Maritime College. I have so much to write about. Too much to write about. 

At Greenwich, I went into a photo frenzy. I just loved everything about the place. Everything. 

Careers wise I have a lot to process and think about. I have made good progress to even get to this point. I have come a long way in a few months, though I have yet to make a proper application anywhere. 

I spent some time... I mean a long time in Warsash simulator and navigated a tug boat and a speed boat through Portsmouth Harbour. This was my favourite part of the Open Day. It is my favourite part of anything to do with boats if I am honest. 

I am contemplating joining the yacht club because everything seems to lead me back to wanting to be on the water and wondering why I haven't joined before now. There are so many unanswered questions. Sadly, I seemed to spend most of my life unconscious of my passion for the maritime world, but this is life. 

What can you do? You heal and self-discover at the rate at which you are ready and able to. I wonder why I heard the call of the sea as a child, drifted away, and then seemed to have heard it again at 36/37. Who knows...I can't answer the question fully. I guess it is kind of an old-fashioned
thing to say that you feel the pull of the ocean. But I certainly seem to, and I am not alone.
