Lauren Landers Sailing embraces a intentional 'season of slowness'

After a couple of years of sailing with a clear, driving goal, specifically crossing the Pacific, Lauren describes this new season as fundamentally different. For the first time in a long time, there is no heavy schedule and no looming major objective. She has one thing planned in about two months, and then nothing else until later in the year. That open calendar feels, in her words, 'amazing.' The slowness is intentional: long beach walks, shell collecting, soaking up the moment. She sees this unhurried pace as the space she needs to figure out what she actually wants next, something she says she will probably talk about more as the season unfolds.
