Palm Tree Therapy

A sunny disposition will get you so far, then you need palm trees.  Wherever palm trees grow, time slows down and worries fade away.  It is just not the same here in the Midwest around an oak tree or pine.  Palm trees provide for free what your therapist charges huge sums for a similar feeling without the scenery.

Today, here in the Midwest, it is a mild January day.  High of 42 degrees and no snow or rain.  Really, not a bad day at all.  But, I can't stop thinking about "Being somewhere between the Islands and the Artic".   Rod Call, owner of Snoloha, knows this feeling all to well.  Rod's company helps to stimulate "Palm Tree Therapy" with his line of lifestyle gear from Snoloha that puts you in an island adventure state of mind. 

This week is Strictly Sail Chicago.  As we cross off the days on the calendar,  Strictly Sail Chicago is the Midwest sailors call for the start of spring.  Our sailboats have been in storage for a couple of months now and we are starting to think about our boat todo list.  Strictly Sail is the wake up call to start planning upgrades, charters and gear.  This year I will be talking to boat brokers to help me find my next boat to fit the needs of our growing cruising needs. 

Not all islands are in the Caribbean.  Stop by the Unsalted Sailing Booth 160 at Strictly Sail and ask Rod about Salt-free Island Sailing and check out some gear to keep you in the sailing mood.  In the meantime, I might not be in a "Palm Tree Therapy" location, but I am in the "Palm Tree Therapy" state of mind.
