THIS IS YOUR LIFE
Duetto sits peacefully at anchor as the evening sun sets at the end of another perfect day of sailing in southern
Turkey. The cameras on board Exit Only click away
recording what it's like to sail on the ocean of your dreams.
Just how good does it get when you sail around the world on your
own small yacht?
I'll be the first to admit that ocean cruising has it's ups and
downs, but the downs are few and far between, and the ups are so
good that you would need a chart with an exponential scale to plot
a graph of all the good times.
When someone asks me about my favorite cruising destination, he
receives a long list of awesome places rather than one or
two spots that are head and shoulders above the rest.
Where would I like to cruise to once again?
Here's a list of my favorite
destinations.
Galapagos, Marquesas,
Tuamotus, Tahiti, Raiatea, Bora Bora, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand,
New Caledonia, Australia, Bali, Borneo, Singapore, Malaysia,
Thailand, Maldives, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Israel. Cyprus, Turkey,
Greece, Spain, Canary Islands, Caribbean, Bahamas
These are the best of the best, and each of them is special for
different reasons. As you arrive at each destination, it's
as if you are landing on a new planet with different customs, cultures and
languages. Each is a new world,
and you get to start a new life at each new destination.
That's what it means to be a cruising sailor. You visit new
worlds as you sail on the ocean of your dreams.
That is your life, and there is no limit to how good your life can
become.
