Hello everyone,
I work (from Connecticut) with Alex Dorsey as he is sailing solo around the
world. He definently has the important items he needs but at the same time
not all the amenities he would like.
He enjoys answering any questions people may have regarding cruising. Take
some time to read his log which is update frequently.
Also you can email him at -Or text message him
from the website. Text messages are received on his satelite phone.
Hope some of you can use him as a resource in order to fufill your dream to
drop the dock lines and sail away.

I am sorry gang, It looks like all I see is reasons to not to go cruising.
If we would of done half of the things suggested it would of taken 10 years
off our cruising time.
The hardest thing to do is, take to dock lines off the boat. Bottom
line.
We didnot have our 6 EPIRBS, 2 VHF radios, 2 SSB Radios, 4 GPS's, our
trip to Colorado to see if we could stand each other, and the list goes on
ad nausium.
If you like take baby steps. Go for a week, then perhaps two weeks then
a month.
accept the fact that the boat will never be 100 percent. It's like a
boat with tons of brightwork. By the time you get it all varnished, it's
time to start all over again.
Cut the lines and get out there before it all goes away.
