I am an upper 40 something individual who became disillusioned with modern life in my early 40's. After some soul searching I realized that I had turned my back on the dreams of my youth trying to clutch at the false dreams of the current rat race most of the world lives by. When I was younger I wanted to accomplish 4 things in life; achieve becoming a scuba diving instructor, go to university and obtain an engineering degree, sail around the world, and go to university to become a marine biologist. After achieving my first two goals I became seduced by the easy life of swimming with the current. When I turned 45 I gave it all up to complete the dreams of my youth. I sold everything and bought a 40yr old sailboat. I've spent the last few years upgrading it to a completely electric boat (aside from the diesel engine.) This is a chronicle of the travels of my crew and I and the upgrades/modifications we've made to our new home and protector, El Jaleo.
