Happy New Year 2024! I have survived the Leg 3 of Clipper Race and here to report back - part 2/2 (in case part 1/2 was TLDR): How did you do in the race? We were second to last in the early part of the race but with tactical choices by the Skipper and consistent performance by the crew, we came 4th - incredible achievement of team work and having a little bit of faith. Would you recommend it?  Yes, learning sailing and meeting so many good people makes it 100% worth it. Also arriving to Australia for the first time on a boat - priceless. Did you discover anything about yourself?  It may not change you fundamentally but it will change your perspective of what you are capable of: You can learn anything. Also I knew I am quite resilient but I didn't realise I can motivate others as well - read about a mishap that almost cost us the race: https://lnkd.in/e3KHxt3u Did you discover anything about others? There are so many talented and smart people out there. I would gladly work with the people I have met during my 2,5 year Clipper Race journey. That is it for now for sailing updates, my journey will continue offline with doing a Day Skipper certification. The next real adventure awaits: My return to the active workforce in maritime tech - sabbaticals are nice and all but I am itching to be useful (as the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger says).

Last week I learned Heli-skiing is more than just a sport, it's a journey of self-discovery. I started the new year by stepping out of my comfort zone and into the breathtaking world of untouched backcountry slopes at 13,000 ft. This all started 5 years ago when I promised my son we would go before his 18th, and this season it was all or nothing. After all, I had to be a man of my word and I'm not getting any younger. It was a bit of a stretch for me (I wasn't looking to replace my 5th ACL mid-mountain and I've spent the years improving my skiing for this moment), but like many things in life, it's not worth doing if it doesn't scare you. The ride washed away all my stresses, and I was able to hyperfocus on being present which gave me renewed life lessons, clarity, and most importantly- a memorable experience with my son before he leaves home on his own adventures. So as a New Year's resolution- Be bold, Be brave, and Be present is my new commitment. If you have teenagers, I highly recommend doing something with them that takes you out of your comfort zone. Time accelerates as they get older, and they'll be gone before you realize it. It's a precious small window, and I promise you won't regret it. #heliskiing #outdoors #adventure #challenge #selfdiscovery #bucketlist #mountains #snow #travel #lifestooshort Telluride Helitrax
