Nice!, gives me inspiration! It took a while to figure out which way they were going and where was the start of it all. Looked like a real adventure! over 40 days at sea, impressive on a small boat. I should be able to handle 3 wks at a time easy  ;)

Faith...if you look at the pics of Deb and Jim's travels.....ya can't help but just 'want to go'. They ended their tour in Hawai where they stored their boat until just a few months back when it was 'cargo' on a ship to return home.They have some BEAUTIFUL shots....well worth looking at all the destinations.

I may have posted this link back a while..but here goes...Charles Stock has to be one of the true greats in small craft cruising.He has put over 70,000knm on his lil 16ft gaff-cutter since he finished it from a bare hull 40+yrs ago.He is thee greatest example of inexpensive adventure and simplicity that I am aware of....a site well worth poking around in....ya have to poke around to find the good stuff..but lots there       http://shoal-waters.moonfruit.com/
