1000 Days, Non-Stop at Sea, Departure

[mdougan1000]

Actually, he was at sea for more than 1150 days, so, more than 3 years. His boat is an 80 foot cargo schooner, able to hold a lot of non-perishables. One of the main goals of the voyage was to exist without resuppying or getting assistance. So, he caught and dried fish, sprouted beans for greens and captured rain water!

2&1/2 yrs at sea, how did they supply the ship for that long?

Thanks, two versions of the same song *Into-the-Mystic*, can't remember who performs the blugrass fiddle version, but I bought it off of iTunes, so, you could search by the title and probably find it. The second version is by *Joe-Cocker*. and yes, I thought that song was appropriate too!

Great Video, great segment of the project. Thank you so much for posting.

I am curious what the songs are, so matching to the scene.

Bon Voyage!

I'm gonna do tt someday.

Just want to find out.. how much funds did these guys raise to embark on this journey? Did they buy the vessel?

It is actually "Anguilla BWI" presumably where Mr. Stowe has the vessel registered.

The location painted on a boat is called its "hailing port" and doesn't necessarily reflect where the boat might be from. In this case, it is likely the place of registration, though, I don't that for sure, for the schooner Anne.

Congrats!!!! Have fun on the trip, and best of luck!

Why does it say Antigua on the back when you left from New York?
