Thank you Bill for the post on those voyages, I'll soak it up when I get home from work tonight. I think there is also a guy local to my area that sailed trans-atlantic or tanspac on a Pearson of smaller size, Triton or Ariel not sure. I already have people trying to talk me out of it. I've been dreaming about it since I was 16, hope I'm not too old at 53. Joshua Slocum left when he was 50+, of course he is(was) twenty times the sailor I am.
P.S. a couple of those came up blank
