Just ordered the book : The Final Frontiersman
from Amazon!
It sounds like just the kind of adventure I enjoy ;D
Beaver,  I know what you mean by "sometimes I wonder" :-/

In the late sixties I was living in Florida with a buddy, right out of high school and before he got drafted and I enlisted.
We met a British guy who had served in the Royal Navy, American Navy and finally the Australian Navy.
He had bought and was refurbishing a 50 ft sail boat and planned to sail it to Australia and homestead.
He was a certified diver and expert seaman. He wanted my buddy and I to be his crew but WE kind of thought he was a little to effeminate as he dressed like a 60's version of Rod Stewart ;D
We passed on the trip, using being "homesick" as are excuse :-?
He decided to go in a "different" direction and placed a ad in Miami Herald for an all WOMEN crew to sail with him!!!
He got 3 GORGEOUS women to be his crew!!
A marine biologist, a writer and MD ;D
He had a going away party and when we saw his crew, we could of died :-[
We lost touch with him after he sailed and always wondered IF he made it to Australia??
But like my buddy said, " With that crew, who cares" ;D
He probably ended up on a island somewhere with his crew of Mary Ann's and/or Ginger's ;)
