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?


Actually he has made several circumnavigations. Several times he has
gotten turned around in the bath and had to navigate himself back. a
proper sailor he is.
