Got to talking with the guy and discovered that he has sailed to boat
from the Adriatic across the Atlantic, through the canal, out through
the islands and all the way to Thailand. about a 2.5 year trip so far
and when he leaves here he is headed for either Sirilanka or India and
on to Oman and then the Red Sea.


Is he a fairly big guy from South Africa? I met a guy in So Fl who had a
boat which looked quite a bit like that. His intention was to either
sail around South America or through the Canal and back to South Africa
by way of the Pacific.

Nope. He is, I'd guess, in his 20's and about 5'10", say. From
Hungary.

Cheers,
