Metaphorically there may not be a better way to justify the ebbs and flows of good and bad that everyone undoubtedly experiences. What sets certain people apart though, is their ability to ride the waves in their own, unique way. Erkki Punttila knows that the best way to reset is to embrace the tides and sail away into a different mindset.<\/p>\n<p>The setting is the far north of Finland in the Lapland area. It\u2019s north of the arctic circle. It\u2019s dark and cold; exactly what you think northern Finland would be like in the depths of autumn, except it\u2019s also stunningly beautiful. Erkki\u2019s path has led him to sell most of his possessions and move his life onto a sailboat. The S\/y Sanibonani was built in South Africa in 1978. She has a luxurious history of cruising the Caribbean and Mediterranean, but now she\u2019s finding her home in the cold waters of Finland. \u201cLiving aboard a sailboat has been a great experience,\u201d Erkki said. \u201cExtremely limited storage space makes you focus on the stuff you really need. Enjoying a sunset with good coffee really beats having eight pairs of shoes you never wear and a metric ton of random stuff around you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/konaworld\">Kona Bikes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a common saying that life is like a wave and our existence is essentially surfing whatever kind of water comes our way.
