Good on you Susan doing your thing. My dream has been to sail around
the world over a 4-5 year period. So far I have allowed "family
expectations" to stop me from doing this dream. I am 56 years old and
just divorced from the "family expectations". In 2 years time I am
off on my trip most likely single handed. Stick to your guns and
fullfill your dream. SV Tayben

alone one feels when single handing a small boat on a trans pac(I
have done two now). SSB Radio helps to reduce the "alone-ness.
