Skippy turned out to be a credit to my ability to predict
the future.

Many long years ago I predicted Skippy's cruising life was
doomed to FAILURE because he was married and we all know
that wives can't possibly embrace a sailboat as a home or
*nest* as it's a nest women cherish. We all know any nest
must be firmly attached to some sort of a firmament.

Turns out I was 100% correct because, by hook and crook,
Skippy's wife put the thumbscrews to him and turned and
turned until he hollered "UNCLE" and followed her meekly
to a lubberly life ashore for the remainder of his days.

Oh well, may he be succored by his dreams.

One can only speculate on which is better, a permanent life ashore or
a life permanently moored?

Says a lubber stuck in the third world due to the fact
that his circumnavigation was cut short by constant
nagging from the distaff side.

LOL

Actually not. I got married after I got here.

But one can only gaze in awe at one who speaks so authoritatively
about circumnavigations. But then of course, you have circumnavigated
the bay, which one assumes makes you an expert on circumnavigations.
