Do I have to paint eyeballs on my glasses?

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -Mark Twain

Hi Bill -

Details @ the Scoot website . Please read what's there (you, and every potential Scooter or anyone considering a Scoot of their own...).

Basically, it's your own choice to Scoot and no one else's, so do what you want, nobody is telling you 'how' or 'what' anything. ALL of the responsibility is completely and totally yours, and yours alone. From now, when you are first considering it, until your boat leaves the support and comfort of civilization behind and goes out into a place where *nothing* is guaranteed, not even survival. You cannot rely on the help of anyone else, for anything.

So, it's up to *you*, as a self-responsible individual, to decide to Scoot, to make sure that you and your boat are ready for whatever could happen - and all that involves. Best and absolute Worst Case scenarios.

I am just kidding, I might make it at the start but head north and do Maine for the summer and then head to the finnish line around Dec.
