“bucket lists” are probably a construct of retail entities trying to relieve you of your hard earned. In our 40 odd years together we have left a footprint in most of Aus and now I think 20 different countries last count , but old enough now to realise nobody really gives a toss where you’ve been, even your kids are not interested in your travel pics 
Bob Dylan once said in an an interview that if you get up in the morning and go to bed at night but in between you do what you want to do, that’s the definition of success.I mentioned Webb Chiles mantra “Live passionately even if it kills you” and I agree wholeheartedly. But Webb, when he crossed the Pacific in an open boat never expected to get rescued if the manure hit the oscillating cooling device. I had a work college who took his young family (only he could sail) on long coastal voyage and bragged about how a passing rescue plane radioed him and tried to persuade him to turn back to his last close port due to a serious bad weather window he was sailing into. “Just ignored him... I want to make blah blah by Thursday “
And while he got there, it’s worth remembering that not only was he putting his own wife and kids in harms way , the dudes who come out to rescue him have a maybe three or four sets of wife and kids. Sadder but true story is my uncles neighbour spend three years building a yacht to do the same and were never heard of again. I was in fact shocked that Mr Confidence workmate above said this is was absolutely not uncommon back in the 70s, boats just never turning up or being heard of again and no one realises till months later. In fact a yachty couple he met on his travels were later reported in the cruising community as having not been locatable in NZ where they had headed six months earlier.
only going to prove there are lots of people far nuttier than I am about boats ..no it won’t entice me to join
