Santa Cruz Man on Around-the-World Sailing Adventure

Have you ever dreamed of running away to the South Pacific…..

Have you ever dreamed of leaving the stress of your everyday life behind and taking off on a grand adventure?

A Santa Cruz man has done just that. A mere two years after taking his first sailing lesson he's sailing around the world. He's currently in the South Pacific, on a boat that he bought for $1. 

Shane isn't rich, and is working his way around the world doing odd jobs. He's perfectly willing to scrape boats in shark infested waters for $40. But a Santa Cruz buddy has decided to give him a hand, turning to the crowdfunding website GoFundMe.com to raise some extra cash for Shane.
