The Crew
We are Christy and Jason, two technology professionals from Seattle, WA who decided to find out what life was like outside the Matrix. In May 2009, we hopped aboard s/v Hello World and steered her out of the breakwater at Shilshole Marina northbound. After exploring the nooks and crannies of the Inside Passage and west coast of Vancouver Island, we headed south for the margarita latitudes. We are currently soaking up Mexican sunshine while we explore anchorages throughout the Sea of Cortez.

"I've always wanted to sail to the south seas, but I can't afford it." What these men can't afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of security. And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine - and before we know it our lives are gone. What does a man need - really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in - and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That's all - in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade. The years thunder by, The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed. Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life? Sterling Hayden
