A WILL AND A WAY
Everywhere you sail, you can see a will and a way.
This Indonesian sailing vessel may look different than western
yachts, but it's still the product of a will and a way. The
strong hull and bow are made of fiber-w, another name for wood,
Robust planks guarantee that this vessel will ply Indonesian
waters for decades to come. A home-made low aspect claw sail
propels the boat through the Java Sea.
Sailing dreams come in many sizes and shapes. Some people
build them and others buy them. It doesn't matter if your
boat is made of wood, fiberglass, aluminum, steel, or reeds, they
all do the same thing. They make it possible to sail on the ocean
of your dreams.
Water World is the greatest democracy on planet earth. It
doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, a will and a way will take
you anywhere you want to go.
This Balinese vessel cruised
by under sail as we headed out into the Java Sea. Little did
we know that we were saying good-bye to the wind for the next few
weeks until we arrived in Singapore.
