The day after the owner of SV Sugarcane agrees to let me crew on board his yacht, I'm still in Sydney, I've met with my coach, I've packed up the car and I'm heading back to Canberra. I'm so excited, apprehensive, totally enlivened and my head is starting to fill up with all the things I have to do in the next week: all the phone calls, the bills to prepay, the people to help me move, the gear I need to get, the conversations I'm going to have and so on. I've started a list and at 2 pages I'm starting to feel like I've got most of it covered!
Wednesday morning, I have a conversation about a new job, I resign from my pharmacy job, I tell my parents what I'm about to do and my adrenalin is pumping. I've been sleeping ok but waking up early and not getting back to sleep. I buy a ton of stuff at the pharmacy in preparation for my adventure: travelcalm, antinausea wrist bands, tampons, tiger balm, lip balm, sunscreen, leg wax...important things!
Wednesday night I start calling people to let them know. Everyone is excited. Everyone would love to be coming with me. Everyone is supportive. I love them. And it calms my nerves.
