Anyone read the great article about the two brothers that bought a 33 ft Valiant sailboat for $30,000 and set sail from California to circumnavigate the worlds oceans..They didnt have any sailing experiance and no prospects to earn money(bad economy)so they acted on their desire to have fun rather than vegatate in the bad enviroment that is reality for a majority of folks..They ceased the moment and bought a used sailboat and "went for it" and are now somewhere out in the pacific ocean (?)..Good story about sailing aboard the S/V Saltbreaker with Alex Kleeman , Nick Kleeman and Dave Green, check it out ,great story about 20 something year olds and "Blue Water Cruising"...

Yea I was wondering about that wife swapping thing !! The homemade pump they made was a good example of what a competent sailor can do in times of desperation....

Somehow my wife knows, or knows of, the article's author. Again, 95% of it was terrific but the remaining 5% is the standard stuff that gets sprinkled in to make it sound more sexy-dangerous-thrilling.
