bravery, having a goal, and thinking outside the box were never your strong suit.

That's pretty silly, seeing as how you don't know me.
And if you and I are at odds THAT'S A GOOD THING. It would be horrible if we agreed. Shudder!

You really ought to be called chickenPOOP...

I remember reading his book about his journey, back when I was in school. Great story!

Nice to hear more about his life.

Thanks for posting.

We studied his book in school. Somehow, I thought he died in an auto accident.

I’ve had 24 and 26 foot sloops, which I’ve happily sailed single handed on day sails. Wouldn’t want to undertake a blue water passage in one, though. This solo circumnavigation was a tremendous achievement. He was a terrific sailor, and I daresay a lucky one too.

I may not know you but I do know your posts.

You are meanspirited and rather ignorant.

I was eleven when he started and NEVER missed reading his latest every month from National Geo at a local library.
