VOLUME 1 IS ALMOST COMPLETE

The end of this year coincides with the completion of our first Serenity NOW sailing log. We literally ran out of pages in the book. Since 2003, our log revealed 421 day sails, 107 times at anchor, 57 passages to Santa Catalina Island and one 10 day voyage to Catalina, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz Islands. All totaled, approximately 11,500 nautical miles. Wow, what'a ride! We hope you were part of our eight year adventure and enjoyed it as much as we did.

When the capt was a youngster, he dreamed about flying around on a magic carpet. How cool would it be to fly anywhere you wanted to go. Serenity Now is the capt's magic carpet. She has taken us to places that most only dream about. What's better than an afternoon sail with friends or finding a secluded cove and dropping the anchor for a quiet evening or two?

VOLUME II is just beginning. What will fill it's pages? More day sails, more passages and voyages, more adventure? Only time will tell. We hope you'll be part of VOLUME II and share our journey .

"Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame, and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on in the end. It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

 So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?


What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got but what you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage, or sacrifice that enriched, empowered, or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom, and for what. Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters." -Michael Josephson, Character Counts
