    Sam to passing sailboats -"how far ya going?"
    Sailboat replies -"couple miles up this river. How about you?"
    Sam -"Portugal."

      Like when Dodge Morgan set out to smash the word record for solo circumnavigation.
      When leaving RI port capt ask for his destination, Dodge replied RI.
      Well, it took a little explanation that he was sailing non stop around the world.

      Sam. Have you seen any UAPs? Or had any paranormal, spiritual or similar experiences? While on passage? It's a big open world out there. Livr it when you drop sails and go for a swim when you the only person within miles if not hundreds.

    Oh just watching the bow of the vessel going up and down, the sound of the diesel engine running brings back so many memories of going out to sea.I am looking to have some more of those memories sometime in the near future with my next vessel. My longest voyage was from fort Lauderdale Florida to North shore Oahu haleiwa. I look forward to many more miles under the keel of my next vessel. Looking forward to all the videos to come and of course hoping the best for your voyage good luck Fair winds and following seas to you Sam. Okay set up for tracking you I'm going to be paying attention to your voyage across the Atlantic.

WOW.. you have really restored and upgraded. I have worked on Cuddy cabins since I was a kid and I must say I'm really impressed with all you have done. Its beautiful man.
