I suppose I'll have to read up on Hanno and his predecessors, its been a
while. But working your way down a coastline is just a bit easier than
striking out across a few thousand miles of open water.
You should know. You sail a catamaran, don't you? When (not if) a
catamaran capsizes it is healthier for the entire crew if it's within
sight of land when it happens.
Your double digit IQ is showing again Neal. It was catamarans the
Polynesians were using to cross vast distances of open water, while the
Europeans were hugging the coast in monohulls.
So when are you going to tell us how you lost your boat Neal? You must
have screwed up pretty badly, given that it had positive flotation.
They probably repo'd it.
