Amazing stories of life on the water!

As a person who loves to travel, loves adventure and is always curious about different avenues to fulfill those desires, sailing has always intrigued me.

Anytime I see someone out on a sailboat, whether in person or in a move, the thoughts are always "how difficult is it to learn that?" and "do you have to be born into that lifestyle?"

The stories Jim lays out really entertain all thoughts and ideas I've ever had about sailing. The stories are all fun and entertaining, mixed with some subtle education, but I really enjoyed the story about his experience going through the Caledonian Canal.

Thank you for sharing your life experiences with us!
