beej67 is on a distinguished road
I met an elderly couple in their 80s that were 75% done with a circumnavigation, on a 45 foot ketch they built themselves. They were farmers in Oregon, built the entire boat from scratch, including the fiberglass hull and casting their own lead ballast ingots, and headed west. We ran into them in Florida. They were getting ready to head south towards the Panama Canal.

Don't remember their names, but their boat was called "Witchcraft."
