Ahhh...refreshing. That's why I sail: to get away from everything on my own little, private island.

I was impressed by his predicted travel time: 28,000 nm in just 90 days. That averages out to 311 nm/day.

He must be a wicked good sailor!!!

When your mind is not distracted by all the trivial things happening you can focus on performance.

We could start an "Occupy the Boat" protest and camp out on his deck.
