Description
Dear sailors and those of you who dream of sailing,
I hope that within this book you will find many answers to questions that connect sailing and health– a guide to a simple lifestyle that can be a restorative or cure for the difficulties that life on land brings to us and those we love.
I do not see myself as a writer but rather a diligent collector of what others have written and published.
In front of you is not a medical manual, a deep-thinking literary work or a philosophical discussion, but a collection of topics about sailing, oceans, islands, new acquaintances and social interactions– a way of discovering new things about ourselves and others. I took the liberty to cover diverse topics such as music, painting, family, nutrition, sun protection, mindfulness, interpersonal relationships and family, as well as more serious topics such as stress, PTSD, fatigue, multitasking, burnout syndrome, working addiction,, allergies, insomnia, epilepsy, rehabilitation, heart attack, arthritis, diabetes, BPH, cancer, MS, epilepsy, ADHD…..
You certainly don’t have to read everything– feel free to skip the chapters that don’t interest you. I didn’t have time to verify everything others recommended (especially in the Sexy Sailing Holidays chapter!) The material covered in this book is ideally just a starting point for further search on the Internet– a list of links may be found at the end of the book. At the very least, I hope that it acts as an inspiration to set sail.
Let this book be just an outline of one point of view. I invite you to draw your own conclusions with the help of other experts in this field. Although this book was prepared primarily for me, to convince me that I need to sail more and work less, it would have been selfish not to share with others. I hope you are reading this while floating in an exotic bay of a distant island or because you have already read your entire library several times.
Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences over the web and allowed me to compile them under one headline: Retreat Sailing. You are the real authors of this book.
