Life on the Ocean

Hi all,
In late march 2008, I am hoping to travel from Spain to Central america but the only catch is, that I want to do it by sea. Am travelling on a strict budget and would prefer to avoid travelling by air (my mission) as its too easy and air travel is not exactly the most envirnmental method. And besides, someone told me that the only way to arrive at a distant land is by sea!! I was hoping to crew a boat in Gibraltar or somewhere across and am just wondering if this is a feasible idea or…

Accurately, I have a minor share in a Swede 55. Sorry Larch, its plastic. Now need to do is sail it from Long Island to Southampton UK.
Anyone interested in a Transat, in late April, early May, no pay, but no expenses, PM

Hello to all. I am a writer who is currently involved in a project that involves a bit of sailing. In trying to be historically accurate, I am attempting to find out approximately how long it would take to sail from North America to the Caribbean--from the Caribbean to the UK--and from North America to the UK. ANY information that anyone might post here in an attempt to help me out with these questions would be more than greatly appreciated!! :o)

Thanks so much,
Tracy

Hi, I am getting ready to join 3 friends who has been sailing in a small boat from Australia to Indonesia, they are going to do an around the world trip. I will meet them for 3-4 months in Malaysia in January and then we will sail to Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Red Sea.

I have never sailed before for more than a week. I am pretty excited, but not have much experience. I can't talk to my friends neither since they are in a boat with poor communication. So, any advice, book, web, information…

Hello,

I spent three weeks exploring Thailand last winter and will return on Nov 14 th for a minimum of a month. I plan to explore the islands.
