Bucket List stuff: Now that I am retired I am going on a little adventure. I'll leave today to fly to Fjii and then meet a freind who is sailing around the world on a 35? sailboat. I am going to help him sail it to Australia, about 1700 miles of open ocean. It should be an adventure. Wish me luck.

You will learn Fast, the saying in the old JAWS Movie = "WE NEED A BIGGER BOAT"

I have 1 close friend who has sailed around the Globe. All I can say is "HE" would never let a rookie even start a Month long Sail, if he had not already had him upon the Boat, MANY TIMES....

It's almost like we try to tell City Folks, don't go Hunting here, there or in that map area. Etc ... on other advice's of well meaning folks who know X,Y,Z ...

The comment "WILSON" = Great :) Love it.

If you get an opportunity, Buy Internet Access from under an Ocean. Or a Coast Guard Beacon on your BODY. Remember MM'Ey'zzzz

Jagerdad ... ?
 
...if I remember correctly....this won't be beanman's first try at a sailboat...


Have a great time Beanman.....

Homer ... Remember ... I am also from Californis's Valley = U & I are neighbors.

I was trying to support you, and everyone. I do not wish to learn of a "Has Bean". The real Ocean is attractive but in a tiny 35 foot Boat, well, I leave your knowledge of Beanman to yourself. Since all you do Homer is wish to HUG Me.... I don't Hug.... Or do I ?

Homer ... we are ... 2 identical eggs under the Hen.

Jagerdad :)

Repent Beanman, repent.... Seek greater help than one's ability to simply, Do Something. Eel, why are YOU not Invited ... ?
 
Yea what eel says.
I'm a full on land lover.
I'm about to blow chunks just thinking your little adventure.
Good luck.
 
Jag, I owned a 32? sloop 30+ years ago and sailed the Bahamas with it. I will be a much longer voyage but I ain?t green as grass.

Good Luck Bean Man stay high and dry, hope your sails are full and have a great trip. A trip of a lifetime.

For sure if you can post some pictures it would be great to see what you are seeing besides a lot of open water!!!!

Eel, it should take about 12 days unless we decide to stop in Vauatu or New Caledonia. Weather and wind will make the decision for us. im sitting in the airport in Nadi now, waiting for a bus to Suva. Hasbean.
 
Not THAT bad but having a big black Dude feel me up and down after the X-ray was uncomfortable.

I bought an EPIRB that will hang on my safety harness and will wear a inflatable flotation device when it's my turn on deck at night.

I am limited to just my phone with slow service in Fiji so no pictures until I get back. I am going to a church service with a Fijian I met and the to his village for a Sunday dinner afterwards. I am not religous but am here to have new experiences. Tomorrow I get on the boat. After that you won't hear from me until Australia.

Bean ... If you stop into New Caledonia see if PT-Boat 73 is in dock. But watch out for Capt. Binghamton.


Ensign Charles Parker (Tim Conway), newly assigned to the PT 73 crew as Executive Officer, is Captain Binghamton's (Joe Flynn) last hope to tame McHale (Ernest Borgnine) and his "pirates." Though Parker is unwelcome at first, McHale sees potential in the young officer, and orders his crew to shape up so that Parker won't be shipped out.

I hope you have lots fun and share some pics. It must be quite the adventure.
