1000 Days at Sea

There was a guy from my home state who came around to all the high schools and did inspirational speeches as he prepared to sail solo around the world. Later that year, we all read in the papers that he hadn't come into one particular port in the South Pacific as expected. Some searches were done, but he and his boat were never found.

Sounds like these guys have a little more experience than he did.

I never understood the appeal of sailing journeys. A couple hours, sure, but not longer than that. I like to stretch my legs.
