Here a Minnow, there a minnow, everywhere a minnow! We all started as minnows and it takes hard work and a little help from others who curated our works to help us grow.
I know this to be an undeniable truth . You see my 1st week here on Steemit I got lucky and engaged with two people who to this day give me guidance , support and advice . Without them I would have never been able to touch so many others . I was encouraged by the Pay it Forward attitude of @tarazkp and @erodedthoughts, so I chose to do the same and in the process, more and more people are positively affected by it. It's like throwing a stone in a pool of water; the ripple effects are endless.

This week contest I did a little different . I picked a the topic Sailing⛵ and proceeded to find Sailors on steemit . Sailing is Hugh with an enormous following on another platform . Here on Steemit it is the minnow of minnows . I am doing this subject not only for minnows but in an effort to assist in expanding our platform .
@hayles is a live aboard Sailor🛳 on a 1986 Nauticat 33’ sailboat in BC

Sailors always help others when in need . @justinvagabond had a bad day and let some frustration out . I've been there and a thank you as a minimum would have been nice . Someone please give him a beer.🍺 The reason for his selection was not based solely on this post but his blog 👍

Get her out on a calm water lake if you have any close by, then ease her into more wavy situations. Try to spend a night with her on the water, see if she sleeps like a baby on the water, or if she is up all night barfing.LoL.

Listen to you two, @wolfhart and @bashadow trying to get a poor woman afraid of the water to go live on a boat haha
When Brian first got sick, we got rid of everything and bought a big 5th wheel and traveled around and lived in it full time. We absolutely loved it, but I could walk out my door at any time and have my feet on land. Living on a boat is an entirely different matter...and I love the water! :)
Thank you for entering this contest @wolfhart. I liked hearing what set you on the pay-it-forward-path here on steemit !

poor woman :)
we have discussed the travel trailer option . I do have to, and did admit, that it has its advantages . It is an option ,one that I am not ruling out . I have spent time in the past on a sailboat . A travel is a better fit for her and affords a chance to see places . The national parks and of course spending a couple of weeks at Disney land would be an interesting event . with both of those options its a good Idea to have a place to go home to . 90% of the people on sailboats always return to a home or take breaks between seasons .

Great job @wolfhart. All 3 are very unique people. I cannot imagine squeezing down to 33ft of living space. Just the idea of being able to do that and the freeness of it is very appealing.

It's the freedom of it . and when you come right down to it we really don't need that much stuff . To be honest most still have a place to go home to . They spend a season or so then return home to go back out again . I could do the full time with no problem . One day , maybe
