David, with all due respect anything is possible but having spent
considerable time at sea in the Navy it's my opinion that sailing
around the world on anything less than a cruise ship is idiotic. You
can't imagine what wind and sea conditions can get like when it's
bad. I have never seen a film or video that accurately portrays what
big seas really look like. Move closer to the water, buy a boat and
enjoy costal cruising.



Well, I think there's a huge difference between having to go (what the
Navy does) and wanting to go and being smart about when you go.

Thinking about someone sailing with no experience to deep waters is crazy.
with nobody else? All I invasion is someone falling overboard in rough
waters hooked to a tether dragging behind the boat as shark bait lol. It
would be better for him to charter a world trip with a experienced Capt.
and other sail boats. Then also with no sailing at all he may get sick Some
people just can not hack it. For someone new to the whole idea try a
charter first. There is a big difference between a Navy cruiser and a small
sailing craft.
