       | Personally, I am a fan of exploring local waterways in the
       | smallest, simplest boat you can find. The smaller the boat, the
       | bigger the adventure. I recently built a folding 6 foot sailboat
       | that I can sail with my young kid to a "distant shore" and pack
       | up and carry home via public transport or Uber when we get there.
       | Learning to build a boat- and traveling all around to find the
       | right wood and materials was itself a great adventure.

       | Ultimately, being the first to do something only matters for
       | recognition, something people are too obsessed with nowadays. It
       | is just as fun to do something you've never done before as
       | something never at all done before- either way it's new to you!
       | Don't tell anyone about it, don't make it a social media
       | spectacle, just do it for yourself.
