He might be referring to some young woman who is attempting a
circumnavigation.

Can't recall her last name.


I think I'll pass on that. Maybe in a plane. :-)


Or a luxurious cruise ship where you had all the comforts of home and then
some . . .


Nope, I think world voyaging on a small sailboat is for masochists. Coastal
cruising, on the other hand, is really a nice challenge and physically
enjoyable. You'd love some of the deserted beaches in the Bahamas - miles of
sand with nary a soul to be seen. There was this one long stretch of beach I
really liked on the north end of Great Guana. I'd anchor on the bay side and
dinghy to shore. Then I'd walk across the island (about a quarter mile wide)
to the beach on the ocean side. Then I'd run barefoot around the north end
of the island and then on to the bayside where the beach petered out. Then I
would swim along the shore back to the boat. All told about a three mile
round trip. Sometimes I didn't see anyone the whole time. Nice!
