Looking at a boat book.. wondering about the boats that go from
S Calif all the way to the Panama Canal . and through.

How far is that? And does it cost lots of money to go through the
canal?

Any of you world cruisers ever do this?

Tell all,, interested in learning.


It's a waste of time and money and puts one at the mercy of forces beyond
one's control. I prefer to sail around the Horn. I've done it several
times and in both directions although it's much easier going from west to
east.

Around the Horn, several times and in both directions? One would think
that this accomplishment would be lauded in the annals of sailing. Do you
feel slighted to have been so widely and universally ignored?



You're new around here, Karin, so you can be forgiven for not being aware of
my sailing philosophy. I sail strictly for the sake of my own personal
sailing satisfaction. I do it right and I never fail at it. My voyages have
always been and remain quite trouble-free and routine. However, I feel it is
an uttermost waste of time and space to attempt to share my accomplishments
and acquired expertise with those who will never be able to understand any
of it, let alone emulate it. Therefore, my accomplishments remain
undocumented for the general public which continues to display little or no
ability to appreciate them in the first place.
