Work/life balance is not an easy one
option (1)
A 8 am to 4,30 pm day will see you at Dorans or the pond by 5pm ,Goats and Clifton by 5,30pm with plenty of daylight left in summer .Work gives us money for petrol , car and weekends.
Weekends can now be spent sailing at lowhead ,Marion bay ,Bruny Is,even Marrawah .Once or twice a year some work provides for holidays .
Holidays allow us to travel to really good waves ,wind or both eg. Maui,Wa ,Pozo,BOL even Mexico .this amount of sailing should have you worn out by retirement age.
Option2
Move to Maui ,WA ,Pozo, work in a restaurant at night sail every day, all day and become semi pro and be totally sailed out ,body wrecked by 35 you now have 30 plus years to work and save money before you die
Option 3
Relax , go with the flow ,work if its there ,sail when it's windy outside your front door and you have the spare time (life is just a game)
