It seems to me that if you want to see the world, a sailboat is the ultimate way to go. Especially if you want to go to out of the way places like islands in the south pacific. Owning a boat would obviously be ideal, but even just acting as crew on different people's boats from place to place would be great. I know here in the US just by going down to the marina you can find people looking to take on crew to go to different places. There is always a need for extra hands to help out with keeping watch and the other mechanics of running a boat. I'd love to learn to sail on the open ocean and this something I've thought about doing. Mabye the opporunity will arise while in Europe this summer as a way to extend my trip when the money runs low. Has anyone ever done this or heard of people doing it?
