When I was young, I dreamed of sailing on a Windjammer Barefoot Cruise, those tall sailing ships that cruised around the Caribbean in the 1980’s. My parents were not the sailing or even boating type, so it wasn’t an inherited gene. I’m not sure whether it was because I always wanted to be a pirate and it was at the time, the modern equivalent to a pirate ship, or because the idea of hanging out on ropes, not wearing shoes and letting the wind carry me to places exotic and unknown sounded like the ultimate dream adventure.
