It does make you wonder
what kind a person that does that kind of sailing, considers themselves
sailors and has the right to rate other sailors.

No, Thom. It makes YOU wonder. I'm too busy day sailing to worry about "how"
people use their stoves and bunks!
I just got back from a wonderful few hours of sailing. I did not make for
Europe, nor even enter NY harbor...and yet we had a great time tacking back and
forth close to home and enjoying the day!
