If it wasn't on the map, you wanted to go even more
Steering your longship into the North Sea fog, "dangerous" just meant "sounds fun." For the thrill of spotting a coastline no map had ever shown, a storm or two was a fair price. Settling down? Never — you were always more curious about the next voyage. Your crew got nervous, but they followed you anyway. After all, you always made it back alive.
Advice for this life — Sometimes it's fine to drop anchor and actually enjoy where you are.
