Many people are trying to get on doing this, yes, but they are focusing on local people. So not sure of the situation with those you know, but I have plenty of family out on water as I type this.

After seeing so many in my family go, I have decided that this is something I shoulnt pass up. Spending weeks out on water sounds so refreshing right now!
