Around the world Quote by Rick Page
““when you first embark on your new life as a watery wanderer, it makes more sense to pick an area you like and learn your seamanship and how your boat handles in local waters, rather than buy a boat at the boat show and push off around the world, fixing all the nasty surprises on the way. This approach has the added advantage of allowing you to buy the things you need over a longer time period.””
