He must have wealthy parents.
That was my first thought.
Wow! What an amazing young man. I can’t imagine doing what he’s doing at any age. My limited sailing is Pensacola Sound
in Fla. and Lake Martin in Ala. and I still stunk at it.
God bless him and his parents and family.
From what I have read, he and his family sunk their life savings and all resources into this venture and are now in debt, were not that wealthy to start with.
Ping.
COOL! Hey, thanks for the ping, thanks for remembering!
Good for them, I guess.
Ms Watson is a
What COULD these peoples folks be thinking?!?!?!?!
They are not thinking in terms of personal limitations, as I do, that’s for sure!!:)
I think I heard of Jessica... it’s all Zac’s fault she has this idea, of course.
He is in Panama right now waiting to go through the Panama Canal. That should cost him (his parents) a lot of money.
He will then sail up the west coast up to his parents home in California.
I think think he’s nuts. It is a wonder he is alive.
Thank you, SonnyBubba, I’ll tell him if I get a chance.
His adjusted ETA is now 16th July, next Thursday.
Did you stink enough at sailing that you stopped, or do you still go out?
Oh no, honey, it’s been a while since he sailed through the Panama Canal... that was our last thread.... He’s been sailing alongside Baja California (Mexico) for a week now and will be re-entering U.S. waters (woo hoo) at any moment:)
It is truly a wonder he is alive.... absolutely.
Oh...okay...We got the news late here. Very late!!! I didn’t realize it was that old.
The person who printed it sometimes has trouble knowing what day it is.
Thank you for the correction.
I want to know how much it cost his family to go through the Panama Canal. We are talking thousands and thousands of dollars.
Thanks again.
They aren’t poor that’s for sure if they reside in Thousand Oaks , Californy . Median home prices around 750,000 bucks . Supposed to be one of the best places to live in the USA .
You know, I didn’t think of cost re the Panama Canal. Um, what would the expenses specific to that be? May I ask: Are you a sailor also?
You are from Panama, aren’t you?!! (I just came across the name Lake Gatun) Maybe even the Canal Zone?
Here is the passage from Zac’s blog re passage through the canal, quite a complicated affair to say the least!!
