i am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth. a nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present. in this limitless nation, this nation of wind, light, and peace, there is no other ruler besides the sea...
leaving from Plymouth to return to Plymouth feels like leaving from nowhere to return to nowhere...
therefore...
my intention is to continue the voyage, still nonstop toward the Pacific Islands where there is plenty of sun and more peace than in Europe. please do not think that i am trying to break a record. “record” is a very stupid word at sea. i am continuing non-stop because i am happy at sea, and perhaps because i want to save my soul.
