It would be rough, but I could handle being "stuck" sailing with
her for half a year.

You know Bart... the same thought ran through my alleged mind
as well. (smile)

Apparently she previously skippered this same vessel with an all
male crew (18) around the world as well. Obviously... she is now
trying it on her own.

Admittedly I don't know that much about boats... but it certainly
looks like the "Aviva" has all the "whistles and bells". Like I men-
tioned earlier... she has some fantastic financial and logistical
backing. Must be nice...
