Who knew that something as simple as fish hooks would be such an item that people all over the world are looking for. In the next year before we leave, Shelley and I are ammassing as many "trade goods" as possible. Trade goods are things that cruisers carry on board to either give away of trade with indigenous people on the different islands Today we were at Walmart and found packages of 100 fish hooks for $3. we bough 2 of them and brought them home and re-packaged them so we can now give them away 10 at at time. Next we will be looking for a way to package 100' lengths of fishing line....
After 9 years of planning, and 4 years of preparation, we are finally on the adventure of a lifetime... On July 1st 2014 we left Ontario Canada setting out on an adventure that might just take us around the world.... This blog is a chronical of not only our trip but the work that went into getting us and our Dufour 12000ct Ketch rigged sailboat ready.... Enjoy... We are happy to share our adventures...
