Matt and Jessica Johnson, both 32, decided to give up their 'American Dream,' quit their jobs, sell their possessions and raised enough money to buy their dream boat in 2008 and have never looked back.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain
That's a great story. It's amazing they only took 3 years to learn. I was under the impression you needed far more experience to circumnavigate the globe. Skimming their blog, it's not clear how they learned to sail that quickly.
I have dreams to do it as well. My books... my guitar... the open water... ahhhh... Now I just need to learn to sail :)
