Loved it, thank you... The US stilll want a B1/B2 visa if you're arriving by sailboat and they still ask if you are or ever have been a communist... they enquire if you're a terrorist too nowadays, though the key to getting smoothly and easily through the interview process appeared to be having someone (my wife) with you who's au fait with the Downton Abbey TV show.
I began watching the vid as we did similar but in reverse: through 1987-89 we rode a motorbike eastabout from the UK to Australia, leaving the bike there and then backpacking around NZ. 35 years later we set off on a sail boat going westabout, once again getting as far as NZ before Covid put an end to that trip.
Thanks again for the vid; it's invariably the difficult moments that linger longest (and somehow improve) in the memory.
