April 10th, 2008 — Travel, inspiration, lifestyle design
Editor’s note: This is a FANTASTIC guest post from Doug Mayle. He and his wife recently quit their jobs and relocated their lives to a sailboat so that they could pursue their dream of a global sailing adventure. Currently, they can be found in the Caribbean.
