Buy a small yacht and sail yourself .. proper adventure ;-) I once chatted to a Norwegian on Lock Ness who had done it several times. Always been my dream since
Did my Yachtmaster Offshore a long time ago. Sailed on all sort of yachts as well as my own (had 3 of those, last one with an inboard engine), sailed to Ijesselmeer and back. Couldnt EVER AGAIN be bothered to buy another one, look for cheap moorings, do the work on it, keeping it shipshape. Used to have a romantic idea about sailing but will never ever go through the tedium if being becalmed and sitting it out or put out my back hauling up a snagged anchor, trying to find anything in thick fog and, had we been 2 minutes faster and been run over by a large vessel which i (at the helm) never heard approaching or passing, just seeing it briefly crossing our course be for it disappeared again in the fog, I wouldn't be writing this nearly 20 years later. Hope you have fun when you finally try it
