Adventure Boy

His name is Zac Sunderland. He's 16. He's home schooled. He gets his driver's license next month. And he has a dream. On May 31, he is scheduled to leave to sail around the world - by himself.

Here is his website - Zac's World Adventure. Check it out.

At the very least... join me in sending thoughts, prayer, and energy to this awesome kid that he succeeds in his goal to be the first person under 18 to sail around the world.

UPDATE... According to Zac's website (link above)... the departure has been re-scheduled to June 14 due to a major snag apparently to do with the boat's engine. Yup... that would be a snag.



I wonder... what "Jeffrey's World Adventure" would look like?

Go you must
No guest
Shall stay long
In one place forever
Love will be lost
If you sit too long
At a friend’s fire.
