I'm not even close to experienced enough to sail around the world
nor do I have the money to buy my own boat. And to be more detailed
in my goals, well that's just the thing, I don't have any specific
goals, I have time and money, and I'm open. I'd like to see as much
as I can of places, cultures, water, learn as much as I can about
sailing and anything else, meet some people, be safe and have a
blast. I'm planning on leaving my job/life for 6-12 months and see
what I see.
Thanks
Jordan
