I don’t know anybody who has crossed an ocean. Well, not by sailboat anyway…nearly everyone has crossed an ocean at 40,000 feet, that’s easy. But imagine, an ocean! The very word - Ocean - seems to have a certain gravity, underscored by the fact that there are only five of them on Earth. Who among us would dare (or be foolish enough) to cast off in a relatively tiny vessel and attempt to cross one, purely by being blown? Yet, surely it can’t be that hard…people have been doing it for thousands of years. Have we all gone soft?
I want to share with you how I became entranced by the idea of crossing an ocean, and how it’s becoming a reality. Firstly, some background.
