I quit my job yesterday, walked out at lunchtime, called the office & told them to get someone else. Drove to my current harbour- Port Franklin, Victoria Australia, about 100 miles south east of Melbourne. For the first time in about 10+ years I've nowhere i have to be.
During the last year I've not been on here much, grounding some ideas, which has taken a mammoth dose of work. Since hitting the big smoke at the start of 2015, I qualified at the top university for disabilty support work (my previous career), went through three jobs & three stages of truck driver license to "MC"- multiple combination/ road train. Bought a livable little yacht, bought a diesel C220 Mercedes, paid off all my debts. Stacked a few K in the bank. Got well ahead on child support. Oh & somewhere in there, last summer i requalified as a surf lifesaver, team leader, this summer will qualify as rescue boat captain.
Next challenge- what to say to the wife & kids about my pending SE Asia/ Pacific voyage??
