Gilligan is not the Nav. The Nav is a for real New Zea lander with
a real name and a real job...he left because he was sick of ASA and
the criticism and backciting....

Except when he got on a rant about how all Americans are militaristic
boors; and how everybody else was a much worse sailor than him, with a
much worse boat than his.

Plus he welshed on a bet with me, personally I think that is why he
left this group.

I believe the Navigator is a much better man than you describe.

His rants were about the US Government, not the American people (they
are NOT the same).

He does have a good boat and is a good sailor.

Everyone has their limits, he reached his. Personally I think we would
all be better off if he returned.
Ditto that, but he won't....

We could tempt him with some Wensleydale, Red Liecester, Japanese Sage
Derby, Cerphilia,...
Wpn't work...we'd have to kill off Doug and I'm not about to do that...

I'm a Korean War Veteran and when manly sailor men had disagreements they
shook hands and remained friends. Doug and the World Famous Navigator should
settle their differences, appreciate each others strong points and get on
with the business of clubbing Ole Blubber Boy like a Harp Seal.
