Thank you, Dave, for perfectly explaining the essence of
passagemaking. Preparation is vital in order to experience the pleasure.

So again I simply state that any passagemaker heading offshore needs
a full
compliment of spares, the tools to fit them, the knowledge to do so
and the
ability to work around issues that can't be solved with the kit at
hand.

Accomplishing this allows you to enjoy what few folks on the planet
do. Be
self sufficient and roam about the planet engaging people and
cultures in a
manner that you could never do as a "land tourist". It's a fascinating
experience :-)
