Few are those who have ever attempted such a feat and fewer still are those who have actually succeeded. Since time immemorial, we as a people have been driven by the call of the seas. The sirens' call drove explorers to discovery, navigators to now charted routes and adventurers to a treasure trove of experience. Sailing is one of our greatest opportunities not only to challenge but also to prevail against the trials of nature. None can dispute the driving force of this fantasy. However, even this fantasy must be grounded in reality. Sailing around the world requires not only imagination but also practicality.
