Birth of a REAL legend

Betonov · 10-13-09, 02:38 PM

I got accepted to the maritime faculty

(college for our american friends) in Portoroz-Portorose Slovenia. I am beggining my studies for a future legendary sailor and great traveler, joining the ranks of Ibn Battuta, James Cook and Balz

I will post some of my adventures and mishaps on the forum as I make my travels with my traveling. But in the mean time I will remain a humble boatbuilder and a quiet visitor to the forum

One cannot be a great traveler until one has travelled greatly

WOOHOO!!

That is great news! Here's hoping all your dreams come true.

Best of luck...you'll probably need it if your going to be associated with Balz

Great news, Betonov!

You have chosen great examples to mold yourself after, especially Balz, the glorious traveler.

Indeed, great travelers are formed by great travel, which is a great travel incentive to greatnes in travel.

Congradulations.
Fair winds, and following seas, to you.

thanks everyone, I'll keep you informed of my more interesting adventures

planned for 2010: euro trip with a 12 year old clio fidji
balkan trip (Ljubljana-Istanbul) with a 22 year old VW golf II
one sailing trip on the adriatic

planned for 2011: world trip, round the world by all means except airplanes

but still, the most interesting will be those unplanned travels which have a tendency to spring to my mind quite often
