Being bluewater capable and circunavigating are not synonymous.

Isn't it? :-)
Or, put it another way: you CANNOT circumnavigate, without sailing
appreciable horizons of blue water - and realistically, some of that
blue water will be raging, from time to time during the voyage, unless
one were very lucky, wouldn't you say?

You're right. I was thinking the reverse of the statement... bluewater
capable doesn't necessarily mean cirmnavigation is reasonable. My
error. I was thinking of my last boat...Cal 20. I could and did take
it offshore, but not too far and not for long. I've heard of them
crossing the Pacific, but I don't think that would be a reasonable
thing to do on a Cal 20.
