Intrepid Journeys

Post by Neo »

Hi Gents,

Just wondering if anyone has done any long intrepid journeys on their Mac? .... Around the US, over to Europe that kinda thing?
Yes I know it's not made for those kinda trips but just curious :)

All the best.

There are many small sailboats that have made long trips. It is not the boat it is the Captan that makes a boat safe!!!!

In some cases, I think some luck is involved. I really don't see sailing across the Atlantic in a dinghy as a smart choice. Or a 16 year-old sailing around the world. Where are the parents? :|
