Remember to play "back in the USSR" while sailing. It will help you remember.

I'm sure the Sweden decision was based on purely academic grounds.

I would try academia in Sweden anytime. (too bad its not a developing country...I could get a job there)

OK, while Cam did convince me on Sweden, I decided to add three more destinations to the list: Singapore, Hong Kong, Capetown SA. Any input on these?

I'm still going with Sweden. I don't wanna be anywhere I can't read the street signs, get caned or have to hire armed security guards to protect me!

sailingdog is just really nicesailingdog is just really nicesailingdog is just really nicesailingdog is just really nice
Singapore is way too restrictive... Hong Kong too polluted... Capetown too dangerous. I'd say that Sweden is still the top of the list...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
