The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form..."

LOL this guy is no Einstein, and definitely no Columbus... How so many people can support this idea is beyond me. Do the math- 1,000 miles, 30 days, that's 33 miles per day, every day for 30 days. With no land support. And no water maker. Right. A real inspiration...

I thought this was a dumb idea from the start and I guarantee a lot of other people did too. I'm glad you didn't kill yourself wavster.

A lot of people also said we would never go to the moon either.

People once thought that if we broke the sound barrier that they would explode.

It was said that the world was flat and if you went to the end you would fall off.

Wavster,

Dont let the naysayers stop you from posting more about your adventure.

Glad you made it back safely. Memories are worth alot more than pocessions. I am sure that it was a trip that you will never forget.

Never wait for the Would'of, Could'of, Should'of's in Life...
We only pass this way once, and take in all life experiance that you should offer yourself.
You only had to explain it to yourself and not others, and we tend to believe in our own dreams, more than the dreams of others.
I hope you enjoyed a beer or two at sunset on an empty beach, which is one of lifes great pleasures.
Glad your back, hope to see some pics soon.

One of the things I love about this site is reliving other peoples adventures through their tales. I for one am looking forward to some more 'fishing prose' about your adventures. Being two hours from La Jolla, I don't get out very often so it's my way of 'living the dream', even if it is through reading somebody else's tale.

I agree with others that we're really happy to hear you made it back safely....what an amazing trip you must have had!!

Welcome back.

You did the right thing, you adapted as the conditions dictated.

You shouldn't worry about the opinion of those whose view of the world is from the inside of a box.

I think the real question is what fish did you catch?
