In 4 maybe 5 years I’ll pack it in and get a good classic sea worthy vessel like maybe a Pacific Seacraft or a Nauticat load her up and head well wherever she’ll take me maybe Maine and Nova Scotia for the summer and south for the winter down the ditch and into the Caribbean and after that who knows maybe South America or maybe the northern route to take me to France where I can float the canals for a summer head down to the coast of Spain to the Med – wherever the boat will go maybe through the Panama Canal and over to the south pacific – I hear they grow really nice bread fruit plants there – and I may never move back to solid land…   Dave – boat gypsy C27 #5212 Windabout Cape Cod, MA                                                                                                                                                                      http://dpbcc.home.comcast.net From: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com [mailto:catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com] On Behalf Of Larry Robertie Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 9:10 PM To: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com Subject: RE: catalina27-talk: The Long Way Home   John,   I can only dream of having that much vacation time!   And, yes, sailing is how I would use it.  But probably, coming from Boston, I’d start with a trip to Nova Scotia, then over to Greenland, then to Ireland.  Maybe to the old trade triangle south, then West back to the Caribbean.   Ah, dreams!  How would we get through Winter without them?   So… where, if any of you folks could, would you sail? And for how long?  Brings to mind maybe the best name I’ve ever seen on a boat – Never Land.   Larry Robertie Cheeky Monkey Boston, MA     From: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com [mailto:catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com] On Behalf Of The Emmerichs Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 8:32 PM To: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com Subject: catalina27-talk: The Long Way Home   A friend sent me this web link.  www.berrilla.com   Its about 2 Aussie's who after the 2004-2005 Sidney Hobart Race, took the long way home.  They left Hobart, sailed east around Cape Horn, to England and sailed the Fastnet race, thence south around Cape Hope and currently are nearing Australia hopefully arriving in time to sail this years Sidney Hobart.   The name of the boat is Berrilla, a 33 footer that I have never heard of, probably built in Australia.   This is absolutely festinating.  If I would do this, I would like to take more time.  But, to each his own.     John Emmerich 5874 Fortitude
