bart, you are a fool. dougie takes a single experience in 8 knots of wind on a
lake in a hunter 19 and generalizes it to include rounding the Horn in the dead
of winter. dougie has two weeks experience repeated again and again and again
for as long as he has seen water. He wouldn't know the Great Salt Pond from
the Great Salt Lake. but he reads a little, and hasn't yet noticed that there
are three books written about sailing, each one published under at least 100
titles by at least 100 authors.

what's more dougies reading comprehension is so low he to this day can't spot
poorly written fiction on lonny's part from a genuine account on anyone else's
part. next week dougie will be telling newbies that 45 knots winds against the
Stream will produce just 15 meter (nice touch, that use of the word meter, even
better had it been spelled metre) waves and that one can make 35 miles to the
good in 6 hours under such conditions (*you* did notice the distance and time
in lonny's manuscript, didn't you bart?)

Doug has credibility and you have none.

doubie, I did St thomas to nyc last year, as well as Ft Lauderdale to
Charleston, as well as nyc to oriental. I would still be out there except
I
had to return to deal with a business issue.

Seems to me that in a short time, on our trawler, my wife & I have been a
lot further, seen and done a lot more than you, Bubbles, and Jaxxie, ever
have in all your lives.
