I wouldn't want to do a non-stop. Wouldn't be doing it for any record or
bragging rites, but rather to see the sites and enjoy the trip and people
encountered along the way like you or someone else wrote earlier.
Just can't imagine sailing past all those beautiful South Pacific islands
and not wanting to visit.

For a sobering look and a good read about those beautiful South
Pacific islands, read "The Sex Lives of Cannibals" by J Marten Troost.

And speaking of beautiful South Pacific islands. You've all heard how
some of them are sinking into the ocean and villages are disappearing
underwater all due to global warming and rising seas.
I often wondered why it was only some of them and now I see the light!
