Sometimes Sailing is Awful | Whinge Warning 😑 | Episode 367
"Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I could jump out of bed, stroll down the street, go to the park and walk on some grass.
There is no pleasure in it at all. It's like a bad trip. Once you've started a bad trip that's it, you're on a downward spiral. There's nowhere to get off, you know? There's nowhere we can anchor here, there's nowhere we can duck in, so we're kinda committed. I'll be honest, it can get to you. And today's been one of those really, really, sh1tty days."
—Jamie Furlong
