Something romantic here

There is something very romantic about the idea of launching a sail robot. A sail robot is a sail boat that crosses large expanses of water, e.g. large lakes, oceans, autonomously. Setting out on any sea voyage is an emotional experience. Pushing off a sail robot into the big blue yonder is likely to invoke similar feelings. The adventure that unfolds over the following days, weeks and hopefully months, equally so.

What shore or bay might the sail robot visit? What creatures will it encounter on its journey? Where will it put down its anchor? Or will it be lost to Davy Jones? I need to find out more.
