Dispatches From the High Seas.

TheOceans.net as I've remarked in the past, is a great site for news and info on all the big nautical adventures that are going on around the globe. They get a number of dispatches weekly from all kinds of expeditions, including solo circumnavigators, Amazonian explorers, and even trans-oceanic rowers!

Today, this post caught my eye. It's from a father and son team that have set off on a 16 month, 60,000 mile journey to sail all over the planet. They have arrived in Indonesia, and this dispatch gives a little insight into what goes on, even to this day, on the high seas, including run-ins with pirates, ghost ships in the night, as well as friendly locals. Reading this will make you want to buy a big, expensive boat, and head out on your own adventure of a lifetime.
