Comment on Are You a Nomad? by Ben Blech

Hi Dennison, how are you? I really loved this post. Found it fascinating and truly inspiring! Hate all the nonsense about nomads on the internet- I think Richard Grant’s definition is a great one and by it I am most definitely a nomad. I also think being a nomad is about an unmovable state of mind that becomes part of who you are. I have always accepted moving as a normal and expected part of my time here on earth. Many don’t. I think that makes one a nomad. As you rightly say, a nomad isn’t about travel, about jumping on aircraft every time you are temporarily freed from the constraints of consumerism and routine. Great stuff anyway…let’s catch up soon. Perhaps in Chiang Mai? Ben

Very interesting, very clever how to find ways to examine the vast variety of humans.

But how sad. When the Nomad arrives to the end of his earthly travel what will he find when he looks back? What does he see ahead?

How few people know such basic laws. How good is the education system?!

Good to learn that the reporter sails at full speed on the fast flow of information, while prevented to be on his boat. Real joy to follow him.

I bought Echo today. She is currently located at Torresen Marine in Muskegon, MI. She is on her way back to full Tahitiana status. I already owe great thanks to all the wonderful employees at Torresen.
The mast and rigging that was on the boat has been removed. I have purchased an excellent used mast and rigging that will go on the boat in cutter configuration (this was her original configuration). The extra pipe fittings on the stern have been removed and the pilot house is next to go. Once she is fit to sail I will begin returning the interior to a more traditional Tahitiana design.
The really good news is that the hull inside and out is in excellent condition. No rust at all inside the boat!
I am going to start a blog of her progress and will keep you posted.
Fair winds, George

Hey Dennison!

I didn’t know you were this far west. If you end up making it out near Vancouver, BC, drop me a line. I’d love to show you my boat, buy you a beer, and hear about your adventures in person.

Cheers!
