Navigarea m-a învățat multe despre mine. M-a învățat cum să învăț. M-a învățat cum să greșesc. M-a învățat că sunt capabil de mai mult decât mi-am imaginat vreodată. Dar săptămâna aceasta m-a învățat că ar putea fi ceva în neregulă cu mine. Aici, în Insulele Ionice ale Greciei, am fost într-unul dintre cele mai frumoase locuri pe care le-am văzut vreodată, dar este și unul dintre cele mai aglomerate și mă trezesc constant în pragul unei crize de nervi. Și sunt forțat să mă confrunt cu un aspect foarte brut și sensibil al meu, unul care pare să mă facă incapabil să mă bucur de un loc atât de uimitor.

I also sail in the Med and feel your pain.
Beach-combing replaced wine tasting as his new obsession.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
I know you are not there anymore… but south Pelopenesos is rather empty (and rugged/ruff). Dodecanses not so full but not empty, ruff or calm. Kreate is less bizzy….
A$$holes are everywhere unfortunately, Igea(apologies if misspelt) looks idyllic good choice for anchorage.
It wouldn't surprise me if you had a touch of post-partum going on mate. I understand it is very natural in men, and shows how responsibly you're addressing your amazing new life. You are both absolutely wonderful people, and the best imaginable mum and dad for your tiny tot, so please be comforted that you are human, very much so, and as a new daddy you want to be where it's easiest to protect your dear wife and your perfect little baby. That is the most natural thing in the world.
A heat-seeking trash bag. Looks like there'll be more trips up those steps!!
Can you tell me Jordan and Des'ree, do people walk past you, do a 'double-take', go to say hello because they thing they know you but can't place it, then speak quietly to their friend or partner who does likewise? I would be like that, seeing you out of context, so to speak, and in what is usually a British/Dutch/German holiday place. They must be kicking themselves all round the town afterwards that they didn't realise how they knew you and so want to say hello to you! Ah well, maybe better that you keep your privacy intact.
I wonder if you've played Groove Armada's 'At The River' recently? I think it's a chill-out tune, but still lovely for so many dreamy places in The Med.
Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger.
Don't leave……..
Keep breathing through it…. you're getting in touch with a much deeper and ultimately more peaceful, stronger, and connected self. Indeed you're reaching into your true authentic self. Your connection with the "all that is". Your pain is an invitation love yourself more completely – even and especially all the wounded parts. Be loving and kind to these hurt aspects of self, personalities that are showing up. In doing so they will be healed. Treat them lovingly as you would your newborn child..With compassion and kindness.
When you step out of society as you have both done, creating space and time, the mind will show up with incessant self-talk. You need to observe it, not buy into what it is saying….. it is basically a liar. You are a much greater being than you know now. peace brother
Tomatoes make great weapons when water balloons aren’t available.
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
Jordan, I have been living with major depressive disorder and PTSD for years. The VA has done its best to help, but it is still a struggle. I have a wonderful family with great kids. I have been married to a Colombian woman for 30 + years and she is my rock. Crowds and traffic are my triggers. Don't take this too lightly, I take meds and they do help. Maybe a chemical imbalance in the brain. I know how you feel and it is so frustrating. You have a beautiful new little girl and a hot wife so please enjoy what God has given you.
Regards from Arizona.
When I think of the Ionian, I think of hundreds of charter boats and crowded anchorages! Not ideal cruising grounds!
Dude. I’ve just spent my inheritance and then some on our home
No going back no back up plan
And I really get what your saying
TBH daily I’m scared witless
Why did I do this ?
Because I was inspired to step outside my comfort zone because watching you guys from your first episode inspired me to push myself
And I want to say thank you because it is worth the stress
You have come full circle it was easy at last ! And now you are surrounded by guys like me
I’m trying my best to be Like you
Take it to another level my friend
And relax and enjoy the ride
We will follow
We believe in you x
The reason I did not buy a boat and sailed the world is exactly because it is already full of people doing that, specially americans, sorry to say thar, that don t fit much usually with the rest of the world. Although as with everything there are exceptions.
There can never be too many cherries on an ice cream sundae.
As you discovered, you are surrounded by people with their own motives and agendas..and personalities. A good captain spends much of their time running the list of "what-ifs" through their mind..as they should. With experience, your anxiety lessens about these things, but your determination to be prepared won't, and shouldn't. Glad to see you are practicing getting underway alone. Both of you should be doing that. Complain less, and grow more!!! Learning should be enjoyed!!!
Jordan, know this…having children will do this to you. Also know this….it will pass. The fact that you are open with these feelings not only with Desiree but also us, that’s a great thing and will only help in you facing and working through this part of your life. Hang in there!
Did you feel out of control in childhood at all? If you did, I just published a book on how to heal from childhood trauma or challenges, called Mind surgery consciously healing through self-enlightenment. Hope you overcome your anxiety, I had to write a book to figure it out and it was for me it was from childhood trauma that I had not healed. Love your videos, and sometime in the next two to five years I hope to see you out there.
So funny. When we cruised Croatia in Late August, were American. All the local Croatians were like why the heck did you come in August “all the Italians are here right now 😆😆”
It wasn’t bad didn’t have any issues. But that was 06.
As soon as I became a parent, I had all kinds of anxiety problems. This new responsibility can be overwhelming.. but you get through it.
The only real medical solution is SSRI antidepressents. Saved my life. People who have not suffered with anxiety and have not experienced the severity of the symptoms, won't understand.
Best of luck to you
You guys are a great solid system. Don’t beat yourself up Jordon. You guys will figure it out together. Live on peeps. You guys are doin great!
I know where you are coming from. You havent found God yet
I get it I used to have a truck that had a couple major breakdowns. I had the money to make the repairs, but it cleaned me out. After that I would get so anxious when I would drive that truck it almost made me ill. So I started riding my motorcycle to commute and that was a whole other level of anxiety. I was nearly run off the interstate by people merging into my lane. Wind turbulence from semi's passing, especially car haulers. I would be so jacked up from nerves…..anyway….
Your boat is your transportation and your family's home. So not being able to control other people and the potential for extreme damages to happen to your boat because of other people is definitely whats causing your anxiety.
You can expect the eastside of Greece north of the island of Euboea and the Sporades to be way less frequented by charter boats as well as boats in general the more north you cruise.
Your boat isn’t just a boat it’s your livelihood, only mode of transport, your home and a safe space for your daughter so don’t be so hard on yourself when you’re more anxious than most! Ignorance is bliss and because you’re so knowledgeable you notice danger and risks many won’t consider.
I loved your line “ Uncontrolled variables”.
Having done a few years in the Med you realise a few things.
Charterers can just be very inexperienced with mooring, but try to get it right or just don’t care if the yacht gets bashed around. Obviously as a liveaboards who have put your heart and soul into your boat you do care.
I always prefer to anchor off and usually am the furthest out, but that’s ok.. I slept better.
In regards to your anchor chain…..that's exactly how not to handle the situation. You approached your new neighbors with an accusatory attitude. Have you ever been accused of something you haven't done? The way I would have done it is by checking the chain on my own to ensure that it was in place, and it was. Your attitude was snooty and touching on narcissistic. Show some empathy and consider how others may feel before blabbing away. Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
Jordan you make me smile, in my mid fifties I’m much like you I have come to accept it as part of being a bloke, obviously having a great partner who supports and goes with you makes the world of difference we are both so blessed. Fair winds.
It’s ignorance vs intelligence, I have spent 2 months in the same area and had the same feeling many times while I had charter boats around me..
