You too can sail into the sunset! "Salt in the Blood" new book. Recent events have made tens of millions of people question what they are doing, and consider making radical changes to their lives. Futurist Patrick Dixon and Company Director / Magistrate Sheila Dixon went on a sailing mini-sabbatical on a yacht together that rapidly morphed into something far deeper and longer, taking them across the Med and then sailing across the Atlantic. The journey changed their entire lives, transformed their business, generated new books, re-energising them at a critical time personally, while prompting profound questions about the very nature of human existence. Salt in the Blood is a sailing book with many practical lessons for life, leadership and Future trends insights - published by Adlard Coles / Bloomsbury Publishing Ltd.
When they first set out, they hoped to learn how to sail across oceans, but along the way also encountered important lessons for us all in sailing through life. During this time, Sheila was diagnosed with two different cancers, which made them both even more determined to "Carpe Deum" - Seize the Day. Their journey aboard shows how it is possible, practically for many people to combine adventures of different kinds with current responsibilities - whether work, family, community involvement or other things, and how such adventures can quite often be financed in creative ways. On the water for example by renting out homes, earning while living aboard or sailing, home schooling aboard, and even by being paid to move other people's boats / yachts.
