[quote=GRIZ326,39575]As a sailor who once considered sailing across the Pacific alone, I am certain the Zheng He voyage is a possibility. However, sailing to the east coast of the US and Canada does not seem as likely to me as sailing to the west coast. Getting to the west coast of Canada or the United States could be simple coastal sailing until you are there. Setting off into a vast ocean not knowing if there was something on the other side of it is certainly a mind boggling plan. Even with the experience of circumnavigating the Pacific on a small ship under my belt and knowing for a fact that there was land on the other side, the Pacific looked too big for my 26 foot sailboat...now if I had had a 30 footer... Those old sailors were something else![/quote]
