    Default US Sailor returns from 3 year voyage

    Apparently this guy didn't touch dry land for 3 years.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/us_...a/10347315.stm

    A sailor has returned to shore after spending more than three years at sea without touching dry land.
    Reid Stowe, 58, docked in Manhattan after his 1,152 day voyage, and was greeted by his girlfriend and 23-month toddler who he had never seen.
    Mr Stowe left in the 70-foot (21m) two-masted sailing boat in April 2007.

    I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

    Imagine how long his body is going to feel like he is still at sea

    if he was a Navy sailor I'd be impressed....................... right now he just sounds like a douchebag that was not there for his kid's birth and first 23 months of life. .
