DISMASTED - told you so . . .
I wouldn't want to do a non-stop. Wouldn't be doing it for any record or bragging rites, but rather to see the sites and enjoy the trip and people encountered along the way like you or someone else wrote earlier. Just can't imagine sailing past all those beautiful South Pacific islands and not wanting to visit. For a sobering look and a good read about those beautiful South Pacific islands, read "The Sex Lives of Cannibals" by J Marten Troost. It's a bit of a wake up. G |

And speaking of beautiful South Pacific islands. You've all heard how some of them are sinking into the ocean and villages are disappearing underwater all due to global warming and rising seas. I kind of thought our boat was floating a little higher this morning. How long until we reach the moon? |

And, if the ice caps melt, then the water will be less saline which is also less dense so your boat will float lower still. Wilbur Hubbard |

Well, as we get closer to the moon it's gravitational pull will have a greater effect on the water on Earth, so probably sooner than you think. Thinking of sailing the sea of tranquility?
