A friend of mine was out of school for a year between the third and fourth grades. Her parents owned an ocean-going sailboat (about 60' long, if I remember correctly), and pulled her and her older sister out of school. They spent that year sailing around the world. We moved, so I never knew anything beyond that, but I always wondered what remarkable adventures and knowledge their voyage must have brought.
