Is This the End of Sailing Doodles As I Know It?
About this episode
Bobby White discusses his health challenges and their impact on the future of Sailing Doodles and his new yacht.
After a big health scare, I’ve had to ask myself some hard questions about the future of Sailing Doodles. I just bought my dream yacht, but now I’m dealing with blood clots and thrombosis in major abdominal veins, and I still don’t have all the answers about what caused it or what the long-term prognosis looks like. For a while, there was even concern it could be cancer, which thankfully seems to have been ruled out. In this episode, I talk honestly about what this could mean for my future: whether I can keep sailing long term, what happens to the new yacht if my health changes, whether I’d sell the boat, hire crew, slow down, or pivot the channel completely. I also talk about what retirement might actually look like, whether I regret buying the boat right before this happened, and what happens to the dogs, the crew, the travel plans, and Sailing Doodles as a whole. This one is personal. I don’t have all the answers yet, but this scare has definitely changed how I think about life, health, travel, and the future of the channel.
