Re: What is Your DREAM Sailing Destination?
I would take the longest possible tropical route home.
For, as a destination there is, as they say, no place like home.
Incidentally, home for me is Darwin, Northern Australia.

Wow, can't believe I am the first to say the Caribbean. Just returned from chartering in the BVIs and all I can think about is getting back out there. This time I want to take my own boat and stay for at least a couple of years. The house goes up for sail this spring (in fairness this was the plan before the charter but that sealed the deal).

You know, I am not sure. Was just off the dirt runway. Perhaps this view is identifiable

I'm mostly interested in the isolation.

Re: What is Your DREAM Sailing Destination?
My UBS account manager tells me there are UBS offices in Melbourn and Sidney. My money can make the trip in two minutes. I will take longer in following it.
