Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency.- Daniel Burnham, architect of Chicago

Praying for your safe journey Cyril. I’m following your progress, cheering for you and sending positive energy out to you over the beautiful ocean!

Been following you getting ready to go. Cheers to an amazing journey!!!

Hello/Salut/Que tal?/Ciao/Oi/Ahlan/Hey/Hei/etc. Cyril: There are three things that have come to mind as I follow your path via the app… three “points of light” that I want to share and/or remind you of through our previous conversations. ---- The Rule of Three Sunsets and Three Sunrises: As with many significant expeditions Night 3 is likely to be very challenging, for a variety of reasons. You are in some ‘tweener zones: far enough in to your adventure that you are wanting rhythm, but not quite finding a rhythm; Feeling the early body discomforts after several days of fatigue and nights of waking up intermittently cold; Feeling a sense of loneliness and missing-ness; Far enough from the start, but close enough to a U-turn; Some 2nd guessings about your readiness and commitment and considering easy excuses for aborting; etc. All are natural. I share this, hoping you will find intellectual comfort in knowing it is likely to happen, and in knowing that it is a common occurrence amongst adventurers truly casting off. I share it to provide you sustenance to stay the course, knowing it too will pass. Make it through Night 3 and into the sunrise, and whole horizons will literally and figuratively open up to you. ---- Decades ago I wrote the Adventure Racing Manifesto as a way for me to rationalize some of my own thoughts: “If you’re not hungry, you’re carrying too much food. If you’re not thirsty, you’re carrying too much water. If you are comfortably warm, you have too many clothes. If you’re not wet, scratched, chafed and bruised, you took the long way. If you are not frightened, you have too much gear. If you are not tired, you’re going too slowly. If you are not drop-down sleepy, you’re getting too much rest. And if you finish the race on schedule, it was too easy anyway.” As it really applies to adventuring in general, you may find some resonance with it. --- And the third thing, of which you and I shared on our last call, the 5 Axioms of Adventuring: 1.    Anything worth doing is worth having fun in doing. 2.    You do not have to know how to do something in order to begin it. 3.    Nothing works without lubrication. 4.    If in doubt, refer back to Axiom 1. And, because none of the above work without Axiom 0: In order to have an adventure, one must first show up. Show up, each and every day. Carry forward with your ever-contagious, remarkable bridge-building, love for living and passion for sharing. Know that 4000 hugs, from friends and strangers united, are embracing you across 4000 miles of wild open seas.
