Here's a link that was posted on TSBB. Seems to me he's doing the "thing". Pretty good read

That is a good one, CJ.  Thanks.

I like this quote (from the writer about himself, not about Bill)

Fear is expensive. While I'm insisting on more and more equipment, other people just go and do it.

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

Oh, that´s  sweet. I just love that story. It reminds me of the commercial slogan of a quite large sport-shoe manufacturer.  ¨Just do it¨  ;D
- Yeah, fear sure is expensive. A few days ago, I read about I guy here in Sweden, owner of a very seaworthy 33´ design. He has set out a plan to spend 4 years(!) ¨outfitting¨  his vessel for a circumnavigation. Others actually perform their´s in that time span.  ...bet he will never leave the dock... the boat will eventually end up for sale, and a bargain to someone who is prepared to go.

Much like maxiSwede's sig line, which appears RIGHT ABOVE your post.   ;D ;D

There's often a big difference between people who are living aboard a boat...essentially using it as a floating home... and people who are cruising, which is travelling while living on a boat...and bringing your home with you.
