I have "A World of My Own" and am quoting directly from
it. Anybody who also has the book can look it up and verify
it. It is in the "Melbourne to Otago" section, Page 118-119.

The problem is small, rigid-minded people who are afraid
to change their misconceptions and comfy little view of
reality. When anybody comes along with facts that dispute
their little dream worlds they hearken back to their days
on their daddy's lap when they were read fairy tales and
the word 'troll' pops into what passes for their minds.

I hope you will read my reply to Duncan Heenan where I
quoted Sir Robin's own words to prove he got off his
boat and went ashore.

You are simply wrong Simon, and you are not quoting from RKJ's book 'A World
of My Own'. I don't know what you are quoting from, but it isn't that. A
launch came out to him, but he did not board it. nor did anyone board
Suhali. This is borne out by RKJ's own account told to me in person about 6
years after the voyage. I think it is you who can not accept the truth SS.
