| 8th December 2009 Mark | nice - From: Epilogue 2: A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Oceans Good work Clive! Glad the speech went well. By clicking on the link I just remembered you've got some pretty awesome pictures here too... gotta go through the entries again. What a trip! Mark |
| 5th November 2009 BuscoGusto | Stinky Feet - From: Epilogue 1: Life after Circumnavigation Ah! That brings up an interesting point... The next announcement was going to be that in about 1 week, my latest creation, Stinky Feet Beer, is going to be available! I can't promise it'll taste good, but it contains....beer! More on that shortly... (but if you're in Amsterdam, how are you going to get your hards on it??) |
| 5th November 2009 Armistice | Where is my Wine!?! - From: Epilogue 1: Life after Circumnavigation I ordered a bottle of Stinky Feet Wine about two years ago from the Stinky Feet Project. It was billed as "rosy and oakie on the nose, with intimations of parmesan" and it has yet to arrive. Where is it?! While you've been out gallavanting around the globe with your "yachtie" friends, holding fundraisers and dessert tastings, my liver is twitching now more than ever. I think your "next big project" should be filling your Stinky Feet Wine orders. Please respond soonest. An almost former client, Armistice |
| 9th July 2009 tess | wow - From: 1000 Miles to Go! might i ask how you got hooked up with sailing the world??? i make good rail meat, conversation, beverages and food....how do u suggest i get in line for a sailing/travel/athletic extaveganza such as you did? |
| 25th June 2009 Charli | Wow - From: The Long Haul: Sailing 6000 km from the Galapagos to French Polynesia This was perfect for me to read at this time. My 11 year old daughter is just starting this trip with her Dad and another couple and seeing your photos and reading your comments has somewhat put my mind at ease. What an amazing adventure for anyone but for a young child, it would be a life altering experience. Actually, it sounds like it would be a mind altering experience for anyone! Congratulations and best wishes for your continued journey! |
| 7th May 2009 josworld | Congratulations ! - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat A truly inspiring journey you had ! .... cheers ! Jo |
| 6th May 2009 BuscoGusto | Buying Molas - From: Mola Madness! Hi. Step one, get to the San Blas. Step two, let the molas come to you! Seriously. You'll see. If you cant get to the San Blas, no worries, you can find decent molas anywhere in Panama City or Colon. The quality is okay but the best ones are in the San Blas of course! |
| 4th May 2009 L.P. Gardner | Molas - From: Mola Madness! How do I buy Molas? |
| 3rd May 2009 Nick | Welcome back - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat Well I must say, job well done. I'll probably see you around christmas. I'll take some pics too, I'm sure they won't be as appealing though. From the afghan desert, so long. |
| 30th April 2009 Louise | Congratulations - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat Thanks for sharing your trip with everyone -- you have made our lives richer vicariously. Glad to see you have completed the journey successfully. |

| 28th April 2009 alex | way to go hobo! - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat perhaps you should change the title of your article to: "How to be a Circumnavigational Sailboat Hobo." well done, busco! -armistice |
| 28th April 2009 TinNiE | adventure - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat Great adventure you had. Congratulations! |
| 27th April 2009 Shanon | Excellent - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat I have numerous questions that I'll send your way - for now - congrats - enjoy the accomplishment and thanks again for sharing! It has been so fun following you along this trip S |
| 27th April 2009 Erica | - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat I cannot believe you have yet to purchase a hammock... ha ha! And what a story those gloves could tell! I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed reading your blogs and following you on your journey. Thanks for sharing it with us all along the way. Congrats on a dream come true! |
| 27th April 2009 Bree | Dude, you have big feet!!!!!! - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat Congrats on a journey complete - as a reader and observer of your adventure, I have learned about the world, our friends within it, and what it takes to sail around it. You have probably heard it a billion times, but there are so many people out there who would love to do what you did, but feel they are unable to, or feel they can't. You allow people to rethink the word "can't" or "unable" , and push us to all live and aspire to our wildest dreams....whether it be reading a classic that you've always wanted to, travelling, meditating more, or just being a better person - your drive and motivation is admirable and courgeous. So, cheers to your journey and success, we will have a drink to celebrate when you arrive next week. Now, get your ass home! |
| 27th April 2009 Jon | Well done!! - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat See title.... |
| 27th April 2009 Christine | Hoorah! - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat Congratulations , Clive, This goes to show that we can do what we íntend to do, and should always trust......

| 27th April 2009 Cynthia Cruickshank | Congrats! - From: A Circumnavigation of the World by Sailboat Congratulations!! Thank you for sharing your exciting adventures with all of us!

Love your photos and stories, keep in touch always!! :) Take care and safe travels back to Canada!! |
| 22nd April 2009 Shanon | sea eyes - From: 1000 Miles to Go! Clive - congrats! I can conclude that such a venture (and adventure) is not in the cards for me - the videos alone had me feeling a little unsettled - I don't think I have sea eyes much less sea legs - so with that said an extra thanks for sharing this journey! |

| 2nd April 2009 Matt | I agree - From: The Atlantic Ocean Beard-Growing Competition I agree with Bree. I'm Surprised you didn't win either. Next time you will just have to offer them a bigger bribe. Looking good with the facial hair though. I think you should keep it for us poor guys who can't grow anything more than a neck beard. We all know how bad that looks. |
| 27th March 2009 Bree | You didn't win??????? - From: The Atlantic Ocean Beard-Growing Competition I'm surprised that you didn't win!!!!!!! It's too bad there no female participants..I'm sure you would have happily judged. Not much longer now......see you soon! |
| 6th March 2009 larry | temple - From: Bali: Life in full Splendor the shot of the women in movement entering the temple is exciting...you could do a whole series in that style...you have really captured some great details of this place....thank you. |
| 5th March 2009 lawrence | popeyed - From: Rounding the Cape of Storms hey fish boy lets see thoose abs....... |

| 26th February 2009 Andy Horsman | Wow - From: A Race Across the Pond What an adventure - and what an achievement to have got so close to getting all the way round the world. A great blog - and all the best for crossing the finishing line! |
| 26th February 2009 maggie | El Salvador - From: What Happened to the 700th? Its sweet stay safe... |
| 26th February 2009 Shanon | Wow oh and the Pet shop boys - From: A Race Across the Pond Clive, that’s amazing - almost home! Enjoy the remainder of your voyage (wow using that word in other contexts won’t sound as true) And your quote made me think of the Pet Shop Boys song “being boring” that says something very similar. |
| 26th February 2009 Margot Van Sluytman | Nice Philosophical Musing - From: A Race Across the Pond "There are no boring places. Just easily-bored people." Margot www.Sawbonna.com www.margotvansluytman.com |
| 6th February 2009 Christine | Ahoy! - From: What Happened to the 700th? Hey Glad to see you posting! Carry on!I'm watchin'! Christine |
| 3rd February 2009 BuscoGusto | Coffee Critique - From: What Happened to the 700th? Ah, the distinction of St. Helena coffee is that it is the "most expensive" in the world, but an important lesson to be learnt here is that a price does not always reflect quality. St. Helena coffee is good, and has won awards, but it isn't the world's best. I am sure that on a sunny slope somewhere in Central America, the world's finest bean waits patiently to be plucked. The main reason for St. Helena beans to be so expensive is due to the transportation costs associated from exporting them - and an editorial article in the St. Helena newspaper, the Independent from during our stay stated simply that it's yet another quirky claim to fame. That's what I like about St. Helena. They never claim to be the best; just different. |
| 3rd February 2009 liliram | Viewed your pix, coffee lover! - From: What Happened to the 700th? I got to view your photos alright. No problem. Must have been a temporary glitch in the system. Happens to me all the time. Btw, was the coffee really good? I am a coffee lover myself, and on the lookout for the best! |
| 2nd February 2009 BuscoGusto | Rail Slide - From: What Happened to the 700th? Sadly, I only learned the proper technique of rail sliding AFTER leaving the island. However, it has been performed successfully by various adventure-seekers. The Ladder is still used daily by St Helena residents as a method of communting. YES WAY. :) |
| 2nd February 2009 armistice | - From: What Happened to the 700th? it might make sense to drink the coffee to get up the stairs, and drink the Tungi to get the courage to slide down the rail. where are the rail slide photos?! -armistice |
| 30th December 2008 Mark | sweet... - From: A Dinner Date with Man-Eaters Clive... first off gotta say I was fooled by the rock climbing in the last post... that was a classic! reminded me of the crazy photography we did with the Inca... Next I gotta say, pretty cool with the shark cages... then I gotta brag that I was swimming with the suckers in thailand, I guess they were different sharks though (mine were juvenile bull sharks, which are supposedly safe while the adults are dangerous, but who tells the sharks they're just juveniles? Drop me an email dude. Merry christmas! |
| 29th December 2008 Megan | What an adventure! - From: A Dinner Date with Man-Eaters Hello my fellow Canadian, I spent my whole day reading up your adventure - fantastic! I am so jealous... and at the same time totally inspired. I want to learn how to sail now. Heading to Africa in 8 months so we will have to exchange travel notes when you get time.

| 7th December 2008 Christopher Burk | I am watching you! - From: The Hidden Cirques of La Reunion Hi Clive! I have finally taken a look at some photos and I am suitably impressed! Thought of you the other night while driving along the Trans Canada Hwy. Five or so tumbleweeds rolled across the road. In the light of the truck headlights looked like ghosts. The part where you come in is that it reminded me of that show we did in Leithbridge where we went to see the petrogliths in southern Alberta and videotaped tumbleweeds chasing us. If you have ready access tothe internet then check out a new product I represent in Western Canada called flatscreen arms at www.tvmonitorarms.com Nice to see the pics and happy trails |

You still have a long trip ahead, so it will robably change a few more times. A pleasure to check in on ya! Keep well! Christine |
| 17th October 2008 Jon | Well Done - From: The Indico Project: A New Challenge Sailed half way around the world, or as I contest, all the way around the world. As your now on your way home? Keep the updates coming... -Jon |
| 26th August 2008 jess and Jason | Hola Clive! - From: Pacifico Project is Complete! The videos were great Clive! We had a good view / idea of what the trip is like, and what living on the boat is like. I can't imagine trying to cook on the moving stove (yes - it is everything else that is moving, actually, but still...) - especially after a wobbly pop or two! Anyway - Jason and I are busy here - less than 5 weeks to the wedding, and still there is so much to do. Keep posting! Jess |
| 23rd August 2008 Christine | Friends and Travellers - From: Pacifico Project is Complete! Oh, how touching, and how fleeting Life can be. Atleast your fellow travellers knew the value of going for the Gusto, and that is what I always sat, but not with one word..but it's appropo... Enjoy Life, and do live your wish, don't worry , just go. Thanks for your Inspiration, Clive, I hope it gets to more people, and that one day they'll understand that we live for them as well! |
| 20th August 2008 Shanon | thanks - From: Pacifico Project is Complete! Clive, until I can set out on my own adventure, thanks for sharing yours - it is awesome to hear. Enjoy! ~S~ |
| 20th August 2008 Cynthia C. (from Bagatelle!) | Hey! - From: Pacifico Project is Complete! Love the videos and photos! Keep them coming!! Safe and happy travels, always, take care and keep smiling! :) Cynthia |
| 7th August 2008 Melanie Gibson | Beautiful people and Island - From: Tanna: We Came for the BBQ! Hayley forwarded your pics to myself. I'm glad she did. This Island is a place I have never heard of either. Also, I saw the gifts they gave you in the pics posted. I'm curious as to if you left anything with them (besides the grass noises I mean, although it's a preferrable pass time to parents to grass smoking). I ask this because I don't know much about your travelling and what your motivations are for doing so. Is it fun, philanthropy, for information gathering or a combination thereof? What fuels your passion for travel? Adventure on... |
| 4th August 2008 BuscoGusto | Thanks Norm! - From: Tanna: We Came for the BBQ! Wow! Thanks for the great comment Norm! You're the greatest... :) |
| 2nd August 2008 Norm Thompson | Wow - From: Tanna: We Came for the BBQ! Clive you are an inspiration to all of us money earning, selfish minded individuals who spend their lives focused on the consumption instead of contribution phylosophies in our world. Through your blog I have not only learned about your travels, but I have also learned about you and I dare say all of us a little. As I said at the beginning you are an inspiration and indeed you help many of us see the world just a little bit differently and I am grateful for that. Sincerely Norm |
| 2nd August 2008 PeterandMaire | I want to go here! - From: Tanna: We Came for the BBQ! Thanks for finding such an interesting place...i had never heard of it. I would love if you could recount a few stories. |
| 1st August 2008 the soul cultivator | Shhhh no one tell Lonely Planet! - From: Tanna: We Came for the BBQ! This is a wonderful and perfect blog, great photos and what a rare find. Pity the google link adverts below are asking to buy real estate there...! |
| 31st July 2008 Mark | Awesome - From: Tanna: We Came for the BBQ! Clive, your trip looks awesome! Really no way to imagine. Mark |
| 30th July 2008 Hazel Webber (Mum) | Paradise - you bet! - From: Tanna: We Came for the BBQ! Absolutely fantastic Clive, and it was great to see some shots of you, looking well and happy. An experience you will never forget, and we won't either after we have that pint of beer together and really catch up. Thank you for broadening our outlook on life! |
| 29th July 2008 Hazel Webber (Mum) | Breathtaking! - From: Fiji: The Land of Bula! Well, I have always wanted to visit Fiji - so now I guess I will have to save extra hard to accomplish a dream!! Congratulations Clive - only you can do it! Photography fantastic, not to mention interesting comments. I loved all of it, plus you! Please say "Hi" to Zack & Cody for me - Good Luck to all. Enjoy your short time in Australia - I know you will have fun with Liz & Jim (Chicks) oh, and of course Twiglet! |
| 28th July 2008 Shanon | Bula -eh? - From: Fiji: The Land of Bula! Beautiful pics again and next time we're in the same city we'll throw around your culture questions. |
| 28th July 2008 BuscoGusto | Up the Mast - From: Suwarrow and the Escape from Paradise Hey dude.. haha, thanks for the comment - yes, I went up in the Bosun's chair, which is a seat harness, so I climb a little but basically get dragged up. But then they left me up there! Going to climb up today to do some mast work actually. Take care buddy!! |
| 27th July 2008 Jason | Truly... - From: Suwarrow and the Escape from Paradise beautiful. :) |
| 13th July 2008 Matt | WOAH - From: Suwarrow and the Escape from Paradise Dude there would be no way to get me up there. How hard was it to climb up the mast? or did you have a little seat going on? I can picture you doing the coconut tree climb, you know where you grab the mast and run up the tree. That would be awesome. Once again making me want to be there. Matt |
| 25th June 2008 Hazel Webber (Mum) | Absolutey Breathtaking! - From: Suwarrow and the Escape from Paradise Your phtography and wonderful descriptions are amazing. It was good to see a photo of you too - keep them coming. |
| 20th June 2008 Erica | - From: Suwarrow and the Escape from Paradise What a wonderful entry. Thanks for taking the time to share it with the rest of us! |
| 20th June 2008 David | more clivey pics - From: Suwarrow and the Escape from Paradise Dude....this is definitely one of your coolest stops...but we needs more pics of Pirate Canuck!! Looks like you are really enjoying yourself now...We are all thinking of ya!! D. |
| 6th June 2008 BuscoGusto | Tell me about it! - From: Black Pearls of the Dangerous Archipelago Dude.... you hit the nail on the head. Too many visitors = dilution of the possibility for grass-skirt and coconut-bikini greeters! Where does that paradise still exist? Hopefully not just in the old movies and story books.. |
| 4th June 2008 Jordan | Beauty - From: Black Pearls of the Dangerous Archipelago Clive, I've been a real fan of your blog. I appreciate the effort you put into it to shed some light on the beauty of places but also some issues and questions at hand. So are you not travelling with the same guy you crossed the Pacific with? Does the oceanic beauty of the Polynesia over rule all coastal beauty of South America? |
| 4th June 2008 Ian s | Awesome - From: Black Pearls of the Dangerous Archipelago That is too bad the local girls don't still come out playfully in grass dresses..... Dam the ones that came before you... |
| 20th May 2008 BuscoGusto | hahahah - From: The Long Haul: Sailing 6000 km from the Galapagos to French Polynesia WICKED COMMENT will update you re visiting;; peace bruddha |
| 17th May 2008 Karen | - From: The Long Haul: Sailing 6000 km from the Galapagos to French Polynesia Wow! It's hard to image what it actually must have been like! My question: how does the isolation of the open sea compare to the tedium of working an unispired job day in day out? Please tell me you can never get bored of the stars... What an incredible trip! |
| 17th May 2008 Jess & Jason | Land ho! - From: The Long Haul: Sailing 6000 km from the Galapagos to French Polynesia Clive! Good to hear you are still alive and well! Sounds like it was quite the adventure these past few weeks! Amazing to see you go from GQ cover guy, to water portrait artist, to "plucky hero" (hmmmm looks like you have dyed your hair in that photo ; ) Keep up the blogs - us land-sloths are still green with envy at the lack of rush hour and quiet tranquil blue skies you are experiencing. Take care! Jess |
| 15th May 2008 Mark | Amazing! - From: The Long Haul: Sailing 6000 km from the Galapagos to French Polynesia Thats a huge accomplishment. Yes, there's the whole "passage of man" thing, but i'm talking about your new hat (day 32 pic). That's a cooler hat then the davy crockett you got in the Yukon, or the hats from Bolivia -- combined! I'm also glad to see that after so many days at sea you still carry your pink rabbit between your legs like the rest of us. Keep me posted when you're a few months out from someplace on land I can join you for a few weeks. Australia, new zeland, or pretty much anywhere with naked tribal women. Come to think of it, scratch tribal. I don't want to be too picky. |
| 14th May 2008 Ian | land - From: Puaa oa in the Marquesas: Long Pig in the Land of Men Clive, good to hear you are enjoying to walk on solid ground... that would have freaked me out.... Enjoy your adventures... |
| 14th May 2008 Carlson | Land ho! - From: Puaa oa in the Marquesas: Long Pig in the Land of Men Clive, glad you made the big leg and found some land. I read your last post too and I think those voices you were hearing were not wind in the rigging but madness creeping in from making Tang and soup from sea water! Still looking to join you - maybe Australia / NZ - gimme enough notice tho. Cheers bro. |
| 14th May 2008 Claude | Congratulations! - From: The Long Haul: Sailing 6000 km from the Galapagos to French Polynesia I was sort of expecting a tale of tragedy narrowly averted - a tooth and nail fight versus the jagged suckers of a mammoth squid, or an epic battle against a fleet of pirates. But I'm glad there isn't one. Enjoy all the beauty of Polynesia. |
| 30th March 2008 Don Currie | Photographs - From: The Galapagos Islands I think the photographs ae outstanding! The commentary is excellent too. |
| 28th March 2008 Jordan Brown | Oi! - From: The Galapagos Islands Wow Clive. It must be friggin hot but you are lucky (and deserve!) to be where you are. I'm enjoying the quality blogging as you 'busco gusto.' I wonder what things you are going to occupy your time with in order to stave off cabin fever. Best of luck bro and avoid the White Squalls (??!!). |
