a chance to cross an ocean...

Something worth watching, on the current cost of higher education, and Donkey Mountain does make a good point...

It's not always easy to get some bluewater experience and in fact it can be damned hard. So, when the crew of Emily Morgan (a boat we charter here in the Caribbean) let us know they were heading to England and had room for a couple of people who want or need the experience of a serious transoceanic passage under their belt, I thought it was worth sharing...


Emily Morgan will be departing Antigua on 7th May 2015 bound for the UK via the Azores. The complete passage of about 3850 miles is expected to take between 23-27 days. Guests will be expected to be involved fully with sailing the boat including watch keeping, steering, sail changes, cooking and some general maintenance.

Sounds like just what the doctor ordered...
