Video Intermission

Carrying on the thought of traveling one day soon, and the prospect of sailing, I sought out some videos on TheYouTube.  This couple is cute, and I love looking around their scenery on the boat to see how it's laid out. It's surprisingly roomy for a 43' sailboat.

And this is another perspective of what a boat looks like inside. Wish I knew more specs - year, dimensions, etc.  The terminology is amusing. This guy really looks like a bachelor - so cluttered LOL!

This fella. When I first saw him I thought "geriatrics". Shame on me. Wholly capable. Wholly inspirational!  Earlier this morning, I was driving home from getting bloodwork done at the VA, and I wondered to myself, "What am I gonna do when I'm 70? 80? Where am I gonna land if I'm still alone?"  This man and his fortitude and ability was a good shot in the mental arm today.
And it also sobered me to the reality of traveling solo. You better know your stuff.

Of course, there are dozens, if not hundreds of good videos about sailing.  Some better than others.  And every aspect is represented; from trans-solo to coastal cruising to party barging. From small, inexpensive boats to very large, equivalent of a Class-A motorhome yacht.  
I hope you enjoy the brain fodder like I did!
