FILL YOUR MENTAL FUEL TANKS WITH THE RIGHT STUFF

When my Land Rover is in expeditonary mode, I carry eight jerry cans of fuel on my roof rack.

I never put water in those cans because water won't make my truck go. It is critical that I fill those jerry cans only with fuel.

What you put into your mind is also critical.

You cannot fill your mind with toxic waste and expect that you will somehow magically become a positive person.

Putting water in a gas tank will not turn the water into gasoline.

Putting toxic waste into your mind will not turn the toxic waste into positive thoughts.

If you put garbage in, you get garbage out.

If you put good stuff in, you get good stuff out.

ELIMINATING THE NEGATIVE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE YOU POSITIVE

Eliminating the negative doesn't automatically make you positive.

To become a positive person, you must put positive things into your mind.

The wheel of change always turns in the direction of what you put into your mind.

The price of a positive mind is eternal vigilance. You must continually stand watch on the door of your mind to keep it from filling up with toxic waste. You must be proactive and adopt a program in which you spend time each day filling your mind with positive things.

When I went into deep desert in the Empty Quarter of Arabia, I carried thirteen jerry cans of fuel. I had enough fuel to run one-thousand kilometers offroad in the desert sands.

In a similar manner, I carry mental jerry cans full of positive thoughts that I need to have in my mind. My mental jerry cans contain positive self-talk, positive podcasts, positivegraphics, positive photographs, positive memes, positive affirmations, positive eBooks, positive scriptures, and positive wallpaper. I carry positive material on my smartphone and tablets so that wherever I am, I have the right stuff to push my mind in a positive direction.

It's not enough to stop thinking negative thoughts. You must become a positive person by putting positive things into your mind.

Exit Only


See what it's like for a family to sail around the world on a small catamaran

Captain Save Our Souls

Awesome music video that captures the essence of what it's like to sail offshore in a catamaran around the world when conditions are less than perfect. David Abbott from Too Many Drummers sings the vocals, and he also edited the footage from our Red Sea adventures. This is the theme song from the Red Sea Chronicles.


Red Sea Blues

Sailing up the Red Sea is not for the faint of heart. From the Bab al Mandeb to the Suez Canal, adventures and adversity are in abundance. If you take things too seriously, you just might get the Red Sea Blues.



Red Sea Chronicles Trailer

If you like drum beats, and you like adventure, then have a listen to the Red Sea Chronicles Trailer.


Red Sea Chronicles Episode 1 - When Flying Fish Attack

Flying fish assault Exit Only in the middle of the night as we sail through the Arabian Gulf from the Maldives to Oman. And so begins our Red Sea adventures.



Red Sea Chronicles Episode 2 - Pirate Alley

Sailing through Pirate Alley between Yemen and Somalia involves calculated risk. It may not be Russian Roulette, but it is a bit of a worry. Follow Team Maxing Out as they navigate through Pirate Alley.


Red Sea Chronicles Episode 3 - Aden, Yemen

Stopping in Yemen was just what the doctor ordered. We refueled, repaired our alternator, and we made friends with our gracious Yemeni hosts. We also went to Baskins Robbins as a reward for surviving Pirate Alley.



Red Sea Chronicles Episode 4- Gate of Sorrows and Sandstorms

After you survive Pirate Alley, you must sail through the Gate of Sorrows (Bab Al Mandab) at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. The Gate of Sorrows lived up to its name with fifty knots of wind and a sandstorm that pummeled Exit Only for two days. Life is good.

Patreon - Maxing Out

Captain Dave and his family spent eleven years sailing around the world on their Privilege 39 catamaran, Exit Only. During the trip, the crew shot 200 hours of video with professional cameras to show people what it's like to sail on a small boat around the world.

The Red Sea Chronicles is a one hour and twenty-two minute feature film showing their adventures as Exit Only sails through Pirate Alley in the Gulf of Aden and up the Red Sea. The professional footage documents their experiences in Oman, Yemen, Eritrea, Sudan, Egypt, and the Suez Canal. It chronicles the rigors of traveling in a remote section of the world rarely visited by cruisers. Exit Only dodges Yemeni pirates, fights a gale and sand storms in the Bab al Mandeb at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. The crew explores deserted islands on the western shores of the Red Sea, and learns to check the cruising guides for land mines before venturing ashore.

The Red Sea Chronicles also has outstanding Special Features including an Instructional Video on Storm Management that tells sailors how to deal with storms at sea.

And don't forget the two Music Videos: "The Red Sea Blues", and "Captain - Save Our Souls".

The Red Sea Chronicles is a first class adventure that stokes the sailing dreams of both experienced and wannabe sailors alike.

Save A Tree Bookstore

Although I like the feel of a paper book in my hand, I love trees even more. When people purchase an eBook, they actually save trees and save money as well. Ebooks are less expensive and have no negative impact on the environment. All of Dr. Dave's books are available at Save A Tree Bookstore. Visit the bookstore today and start putting good things into your mind. It's easy to fill your mind with positive things using eBooks. No matter where you are or what you are doing, you can pull out your smart phone or tablet and start reading. You can even use electronic highlighters and make annotations in your eBooks just like paper books.
