Some people pay for that experience - and when you consider the fact you can't on the cheap live / travel abroad for nearly that not a bad way to go if you are so inclined. Not everyone wants to just sail and make a vacation out of it and from reading the blog and etc - it does suite alot of philosophical types that have to feel like they are part of a bigger adventure etc... Kinda think of it as paying to go a "mountain climbing event" or any of those events hosted by social networking companies that make money off of bringing people together. Some find value others and pay to play...They do promote themselves as a research vessel...
others find friends to go with....
