i too would love to sail someday. this has got to be one of jimmy's finest songs. i guess there aren't too many words or things that could describe such a song.
Hey - Retired from the So. Calif. rat-race at age 50 and bought a home in Kentucky. Now I spend my extended summers playing with my trawler on the gulf coast of Texas. Lord what a life! Any old-soles care to join me for a margaritta and Jimmy Buffet on the stereo?
Tis why jimmy buffet is so popular in the midwest. His songs speak to the sailor in all of us, but really hits home with those far far away from the sea. :)
Then leave from where you are and follow your dream brother. I have been traveling almost a year from california by land through mexico, central america, sailed from panama to colombia, went through ecuador and now im in Peru. Im 24 and i still got a lot left to go. You can do whatever you want. suerte
Just this week(last week of Jan.'08)I heard a story on the news that said that people in their 40's have more depression and that people that live in colder states are happier...BULL!!! I'd love to be 40 something and living (on the water)somewhere warm.
Such a wonderful song... to be able to look back and appreciate your successes, regret your follies, and be comfortable with who you are, how you got here, and where you're going, even if only for today - may everyone share such a gift!
thanks for posting! we sail our Oday 27 on the Great Lakes (Green Bay and Lake Michigan) Can't wait to go cruising full time in warmer climates! enjoy and thanks for sharing!

I wish I could do what you do. Where I am, your only options is to go to college, or go into the beef industry.
That or become someone's baby's mama and rot away at the Wal-Mart...
May the winds fill your sails, friend, and may Aegir smile on you.
