From my youth on an island in Alaska, I learned that solitude was vulnerability. I have lived off the land in the forests, and learned from that I am properly part of the human community, and should undertake my role to contribute to it's development and partake of my fellows' contributions.
That doesn't mean everyone must eschew a life at sea. I wish you all the best in your journeys.
Very interesting perspective. I don't intend living at sea to be a life of solitude. Family and friends are important and I am a big boat.
There is also a lovely community of fellow cruisers living at sea.
My father lived for many years on a sailboat in the Caribbean, and spoke fondly of that community.
