If you\u2019re not enjoying your time in self-isolation, you\u2019re probably not cut out for sailing around the world. Based on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maslow\u2019s hierarchy of needs<\/a>, here is our take on some of the top parallels between trimming the sails and flattening the curve:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Physiological Needs: <\/strong>Feeding yourself at sea is challenging. Underway, exercise drops off almost completely. So does our calorie demand. Groceries that would last three days on land, easily last a week at sea. Yet, you can\u2019t simply walk round to the store for a bag of chips and six-pack of Mountain Dew like you used to. Provisioning a sailboat involves serious logistics. Getting on and off, dinghying to shore, tying up, walking to the shops, and buying only as much as you have capacity to carry, is simultaneously limiting and focusing. We\u2019ve gotten used to it. For example, rather than buying cakes these days, we make them. A kilogram of flour is enough for several cakes, or at least three loaves of bread. With raw materials, you\u2019re not committed at the point of sale and the results are always fresher.If shopping has become a pain in the butt since isolation started, things aren\u2019t better from a boat in good weather. But if you like the challenge of planning meals days in advance, then you\u2019re likely to enjoy provisioning.<br \/>\nMaslow\u2019s physiological needs include shelter. Room is limited on a sailboat. On Aleta, our entire living space, all three cabins, galley, office, dining room, garage, family room and toilet fit in a space smaller than our bedroom was on dry land. If you\u2019re in a tiny studio apartment, you know the feeling. Especially if your apartment doesn\u2019t have a balcony. If you\u2019re lucky enough to live in something bigger and are still going bonkers, your dreams of circumnavigation need adjusting. Try taping off a space roughly 12\u2019 by 16\u2019 and living within those boundaries. After a couple of years, it will seem much larger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safety Needs:<\/strong> Under sail, our daily dance with mortality is, perhaps, the thing that\u2019s prepared us best for the pandemic. When you\u2019re on the water you\u2019re in a hostile environment. Nature is unforgiving. If you fall off your boat in anything but a flat calm, experts estimate that you have about 300 meters before you\u2019re lost. Forever. That\u2019s three football fields before your crew, if they were watching, lose sight of you. Rescue is pure luck after that. That\u2019s why rule number one is <a href=\"https:\/\/aleta.life\/index.php\/2019\/07\/11\/misneach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Misneach<\/a>! Stay with the boat.With practice and care, the risks of falling overboard can be minimized. There are rules that must be respected. Like wearing a harness at night in the cockpit. Like holding on with one hand at all times. Or going outside with a mask and gloves on if you\u2019re in a pandemic. It\u2019s not hard. You just need to form a habit. Habits take time. Take the time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Social Needs:<\/strong> Confinement with your (loved) one(s) defines this category. One of the best pieces of advice I read about cruising was, buy the boat and move onto it six months before you leave. If you don\u2019t like living aboard at the dock, you\u2019ll hate it at sea. We didn\u2019t follow that advice. But we had lived and worked at home for years before we set sail, so we were less daunted. That said, we have adjusted our \u2018space\u2019 rules a bit since being on board. If I\u2019m wearing headphones and my nose is face down in the computer, the rule is DO NOT DISTURB ME! If you break that rule for anything other than a true emergency, like dog overboard, then you should enjoy the captain\u2019s broadside that follows.Aleta\u2019s cockpit is a wonderful thing. It is a separate space where either of us can get away if we need. Or where, as a couple, we relax, play cribbage, and watch the world go by. It is especially nice in the middle of a calm ocean on autopilot, with a fading sunset and 15 knots of breeze.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Esteem Needs:<\/strong> According to Maslow there are two parts to Esteem. The first involves self-confidence and feeling good about yourself. The second involves feeling valued by others. Perhaps that\u2019s why we write about our adventures. Blogging allows us to look back and relive key moments and realize that, hey, we\u2019ve done some crazy-ass things and survived. That makes us feel good about ourselves. Comments on the blog help our esteem, too. Thanks for reading! And commenting!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Self-Actualization:<\/strong> Self-Actualization is about trying to be the best person you can be. That\u2019s the underlying motif in my tattoo. Carol was unsure about the skull in the background until I pointed out it\u2019s a traditional <em>memento mori<\/em>. A reminder to live your best life, because judgement awaits us all. <em>(Woah, dude! \u2013 ed.)<\/em> Besides, taking care of a dog is, by definition, self-actualizing. Right?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While you\u2019re under lockdown, consider what a great character-building opportunity this is. If you\u2019re loving it, you may want to consider hopping on a sailboat and heading towards points uncharted. After all, there\u2019s no better means of physical distancing. Provided you can, of course, land at the other end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Position: 37\u00b0 35\u2032 49\u201dN 0\u00b0 58\u2032 48\u201dW Pandemic lockdown is the perfect dress rehearsal for cruising.
