It did, and I did spent quite a bit doing almost two years traveling by boat. Let just say I was checking things off my bucket list.

Two years travelling by boat?! I bet you've got some interesting stories to tell

There are three basic kinds of sailing stories.
First is antidotes about places you went or the on the boat travel stories, nice ones like visiting such and such place and something interesting or odd that happened there. Or stories like being on a calm ocean at night, when it is phosphorescent, with a light fog all around you, while the dolphins ply the water around your boat lighting up the ocean in streaks and swirls. I got to tell you being a couple hundred Kms out in the ocean, while this is happening is an amazingly peaceful and moving experience.
Then there are the kind of stories where the wave are 5 to 7 meters high and the wind is blowing 100 km/h and your just trying to keep your shit together and make all the right decisions so you don't break the boat and can get through the day.
Third are the mechanical problems at sea, which for me at least were never life threatening so they are stories with some drama, but always have a happy ending.
In between all of these stories are the days or weeks of relatively calm and boring days when you sail along at 5 to 8 kts, hour after hour. For me this was one of the best parts of sailing, me and the boat working the wind just going with nothing at all in sight but blue.

Note: When you get rich and famous and are deciding who to invite to the party I am going to plant the seed right here that you should invite FrankZ.

Those all sound like fantastic story types to me!

@phucvandinh said: He definitely have a lot of stories. We wish to hear more from you @FrankZ

After 13 hours of sleep you probably will.
I am back at it as soon as I let the dog out.
48 pages while I was gone has put me in quite a hole a expect.

@FrankZ testing his new toy

I would have added tie rods, but that is just me.

Originally I saw toy and the below, and got excited, now I feel a bit of a let down.

Oh, you misunderstood. I'm not blaming F5 for this. I was just saying that I'm sad I missed the giveaway because I had been sitting here, staring at the page, refreshing for an hour
