What Actually Happens to Your Friendships When You Sail Away | Cockpit Sessions Ep.08

<p>Everyone warns that the hardest part of sailing away is losing your people. Friends, family, the whole sense of belonging. Eight years and a full circumnavigation later, it went the other way. The friends that mattered got closer, and we found a second family at sea on top.</p><p><br></p><p>Before you even leave, some people start pulling away, which feels a lot like grief. Irenka&#39;s mum kept our spirits up with a steady supply of newspaper clippings about boats sinking. Then you get out there and find a community that forms so fast you can knock on a stranger&#39;s hull and be best mates by sundown.</p><p><br></p><p>Irenka will talk to anyone. I get peopled out the moment a crowd forms. We never did settle which of us is right.</p><p><br></p><p>Cockpit Sessions is the podcast where we work through the book behind our eight-year family circumnavigation, one conversation at a time.</p><p>📖 Book (working title) and free sample: https://www.mothershipadrift.com/mothershipadriftbook</p><p>🎬 More from us: https://www.mothershipadrift.com</p>
