surf'The World is Beautiful at 5 Knots' will be a journal of the our experiences. Whether good or bad, I will be as candid as possible for the sake of others who are interested in or are doing the very same thing. By researching, reading, and personally talking with other sailors of their experiences, I have been able to prepare myself for the many 'unkowns' that will and already have been encountered thus far. It is my wish that this journal will be of some value to all who read this form.--BSMcK
