Mojo

[belizesailor]

Sometimes the "Mojo" is just not workin'. This week, my Mojo has been off. Seems to happen about once every 5-10 years. So, we've decided to postpone our planned run to Cartegena. Sometimes, when it just don't feel right, its best to take a step back.

Anyone else experience this sometimes?

Wow..!

I did exactly the same yesterday and cancelled a seminar because things were not falling into place like they should. Just didnt feel right at all.

My 'Mojo' definitely collapsed recently when I changed course for the Azores after doing so well on my Southern track for Madeira... should have held my nerve and sailed on..

Please delete this thread. The first rule about Mojo is you do not talk about Mojo.

Wait! I'm not talking about Mojo! NOOOOooooo……..AIYYYYYY.

Had this happen once or twice during my motorcycle phase. Each time I sold the bike and gave it up for a year or two until it felt right again. I have never had that feeling with sailing, though. More often than not I'll go down to the boat to fix something and when I get there I just relax and put off the work until another day. I wonder if that is a mojo thing?

Cheers.

My ole daddy told me " son a man who's Mojo is messed up should never sail in rocky waters!!" I believe him as that's what I've found over the years!

What the hell's a mojo?
Some sort of touchy-feely new age thing??

If we have to explain the Mojo, then you wouldn't understand. I always listen to the Mojo, when I haven't in the past and it cost me dearly.

Usually a cup of Joe gets my mojo working

OK, I think I get the picture.....you need this 'mojo' thing to function properly.
I think I'll just continue to rely on what expertise I have, learning and experience.
