Many folks love sailing and have dreamed about sailing around the world. Indeed, it is a chance of a lifetime, something that is worth doing, even if the risk could kill you. Why is sailing around the world such a common dream or wish for people? Well, it might have something to do with our ancestry, consider if you will that our ancestors did not have powered boats, and anytime they sailed across the sea, they did so by sailing.
With the stock market down, real estate in the tank and the economy sour, this could be the best time to sail around the world. Simply take all your money and buy Dow Stocks and then leave, and don't you worry about a thing. When you get back everything will be up again. You, well, you will have sailed around the world and none of that financial stress will have taken its toll on you like the rest of the folks here.
There is a sense of tranquility at sea, it's a fun place to be, and sailing around the world is a lot of fun and the challenge of a life time. Best of all this is as great time to buy a high quality sail boat for a song and even if you put all your money into the boat, there is a good chance it will be worth much more when you complete your journey, as the economy will have returned along with you.
Can you personally think of a more exhilarating thing to do in your life, something that will help make your life complete? Sail away, sail away, sail away. Think on this.

But it was at that event, held around the Isle of Wight, that Queen Victoria had to hand over the prize of 100 Guineas to the American team, who had sailed in their 90 foot
