As a few of you know, I am on vacation with my family. We’re sailing on our new yacht in the British Virgin Islands [www.legendyachtcharter.com], a favourite spot in the world for us.
Time Stands Still On A Sailing Charter
A funny thing happened near the beginning of the vacation – both my sports watch and my wife’s sports watch died pretty close to the same time. A sign… perhaps we shouldn’t be as focussed on time while we’re down here. So far, it hasn’t really changed things a lot except that I am realizing how much I use time to regulate my day and to plan out what I need to be doing. So, who knows what I’ll learn from this… but, I guarantee that I will learn something.
Okay, It’s the end of the vacation and I’m going to finish off this post by saying that not having some structure has good. But, having 3 kids requires you to have at least a little bit of structure. Having said that we’ve not missed a flight yet. But, I’ve also not been convinced that I knew what day it was everyday.
So, the learning point? There are many but truly nothing sticks out for me. Maybe just having been forced into a change was the best thing. Who knows?
Why don’t you share with me your thoughts? Many people don’t wear watches, although now younger people just use their phones or other electronic devices. What do you use to tell time? Sun dial? Calendar? Atomic clock? What’s happened when it’s died?
