It is hard to grasp the concept of sailing around the world, but as Chuck and Lynn say...."IT IS EASY, JUST KEEP HEADING WEST!"
Chuck and Lynn are amazing people, and they are very FUN to be around. I thank them immensely for their years of sharing their accomplishment of this incredible dream. They are looking forward to moving back to land and returning to gardening, woodworking and painting.Their new home will be decorated with beautiful pieces of native artwork from their circumnavigation. Well done, Lynn and Chuck!

I think it takes a special type to set off - and continue - such a long journey.
I used to dream of it... no longer. I never get tired of reading about it though.
What a great gift.... The fishing gear and book.
You've now raised the bar. I expect to see many many photos of dorado hauled up onto those nice clean woody-waxed decks and consumed at many more cruising dinners along the way.
Just save a fillet for us!
Amazing is all I can think! Such a wonderful tale. We've followed them since we got our IP 380 - now we really know it can go anywhere - not that we didn't know before ;-)
Also looking forward to hear all about your fishing adventure. I immediately went to find the book on Amazon.
