Why
Ok it’s not my favorite question. The whole why thing is more a question of why do it in eight months, why aren’t you stopping anywhere.
By the way, we’re going round the world in our little boat in eight months and not really planning on stopping more than, maybe, six times. More like four. We’re going round the bottom.
Sometimes the question ‘Why?’ comes off more like ‘What are you trying to prove?’
Nothing. Everything.
The simple answer goes something like: Because we can. The complicated answer goes along the lines of : Because we can and then is followed by strings of words that stretch out into infinity.
Why do you think we’re doing it?
