One that didn't sit at some dock for any lengthy period of time was manned by some teenager who set out to be the youngest person to sail around the world. He spent over a year overseas.

This kid was interviewed on FOX Sports Radio a couple weeks ago. He said the only danger he faced was a pirate ship near Austrailia & that was about it. Not sure what he had for antennas or radios (Except for a marine band radio) as he didn't say & they didn't go into that (Typical of those who don't know a thing about Ham Radio).

Either way, he somehow managed to avoid the Somali pirates that later went on to commandeer that barge & take hostages for awhile.

Now the kid's sister wants to try the same feat. Typical of kids, isn't it?

Jst my $.02 worth.....

Cheers & 73
