Seven Boats

Seven Boats is a memoir that help explain how the author became who he is now. Or maybe it helps explain why he is who he is. For sure, it is more than a story about the boats he has owned up to this point in his life. 

Three quotes, more or less, summarise Rieley's reason for the life he has had...

“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live.”
Rumi

“Being someplace is great. Going there is even better.”
The Author, a long time ago

“Like Columbus, Sinclair Lewis had no idea where he had gone, but the trip was fun.”
Gore Vidal, in “Virgin Islands”

As the title of Seven Boats says, "A memoir of a life well lived."
