Setting Sails for Unknown Territory

Do you ever just set sail and see where the wind and waves take you? I enjoy just exploring different places and would often sail to the small outlying islands off the Coast Line of Mississippi.

The southern coast of BC offers enough diversity and challenge, I don't think we ever cast off without an actual destination in mind, with alternative "outs" for if the weather turned in a hurry (and the forecasters ain't always right, the buggers missed the big blow in 93 that saw hurricane-force winds hit the coast, and we were out there in it, dammit).

I do that every now and then, but never really came across anything but more water. I sometimes worry that I won't find my way back, so I try not to go too far off course.
