The few select people I've told of my plans have been very supportive. I'm not exactly sure why I find this so surprising, but I love it. They believe that I can do it.
My boss at my one-day-a-week job--an experienced sailor with a captain's license--offered to help me find job openings and lodging during training. My lifelong friend simply said it would be an awesome thing for me to do, and understood that I would love it, but that was enough.
I haven't told anyone else yet (well, excepting you, who stumbled across this blog). For some reason, my family interfering would ruin it, make it not mine anymore.
By the way, I'm currently looking at working aboard the two 74' schooners--Woodwind and Woodwind II--in Annapolis, and hoping to find a house-sitting position in exchange for a place to stay during the summer. Woodwind takes crew with some experience, pays minimum wage during training and, I suppose, slightly more once the job actually begins. Plus tips. I don't care; I'd gain experience and get to sail and race!
Wow, these posts are getting randomer and randomer.
