Circumnavigating the Sun

By Tom Hankins

What really happens when ordinary people depart from their 'normal' lives and seek adventure at sea?Perhaps you've had that sex on the beach fantasy. Full moon. Clear sky. Shooting stars. Warm tropical air. Palm trees gently swaying in the background. Waves gently lapping the beach. Brown bodies mashing together with chests heaving like the sea.Perhaps you've had that fantasy of running away from your particular reality, and living on a boat. You're anchored in a serene bay. You're surrounded by a coral reef bursting with sea life. You sip rum drinks with umbrellas as the sun slowly sets on the horizon.Having experienced both of these fantasies, I am here to tell you that neither are what I expected in reality. Did you ever frolic in the surf line? Then later when you take a shower you find sand sticking to you in places you didn't even know you had. Running away from reality and living on a boat is a similar departure from imagination. In the following pages, you will learn what we found it to really be like.Though some parts have been omitted, and some forgotten, the following pages contain the true story of pursing our dream.Follow us through hurricanes, pirates, mechanical failures and more as we press on in search of our dream.
