Basketball and more precisely Davidson basketball has taught me one thing: What is not given is lost... I want to visit the world so it doesn't get lost and I want to share it with children as I go along so they can dream of its greatness.

OUR GOAL

Some have everything and some have the rest... My girlfriend and I are extremely fortunate because our wholes lives we were encouraged to dream, to chase after what we wanted and to realize our potential. There were bumps along the way, but we now realize how lucky we have been and still are. We want to take advantage of our freedom to go ahead and visit the world, but we want to really see it so we're going to visit it at a 5 mph cruising speed. And along the way we want to share with children the beauty of chasing a dream. We want to serve as exmaples and as motivators for children to strive to reach their goals. We will use great examples and simple ones since a dream does not have to be big it only has to be dreamed.

WHERE THE STORY BEGAN

Last summer (2008), my parents, my to-be girlfriend, and myself went to Lac Saint Jean to visit my sister. Once there we opted for an afternoon cruise on the lake. Marc Gagnon then took us on his boat to see what this lake was all about. The truth is we shared a lot and greatly enjoyed swimming in the cold water, but there was no wind.
Final results: we motored around for a couple of hours and never hoisted sails, And I fell madly in love with sailing.

Since then I have read a few books or let's say I have read every sailing book I could put my hands on, and I have been planning with my girlfriend to sail around the world.
