You seem to know what you’re talking about. What would it cost to do this trip properly?

Well for me about 250 thousand and a suite on the QE 2

What would it cost to do this trip properly?

Well I'm only listening to what the experts associated to these ventures are saying.

Don McIntyre, who lent Jessica Watson her boat, says a basic boat could be fitted out for $A100,000.

100K may be for a voyage mainly outside the Southern Ocean, and Jessica's little pink tank was more.

I have seen estimates in the high 6 figures ("wrong again liberal media!"). Actual ballpark might be, oh say $A300,000 (and you still have the boat at the end of the voyage)
