Reddit mentions of The Bombard Story

Don't listen to these people saying it can't or shouldn't be done. These are the same kind of people who will never try riding a motorcycle because it's too dangerous. Plenty of people have circumnavigated with much less preparation and ancient technology LINK. Some people don't make it. Your chances improve the more competent you are. About 20 years ago the statistic I read was that about 15% of people don't make ocean crossings, but that included people that were racing. You have to determine your own risk vs reward threshold. You are likely to get much better advice from great books than from landlubbers on Reddit.
