Larry ,, are you reading this? Hello? Larry,,

I am putting a sign next to my boat this morning..



I saw that in this morning's Charleston "Newsless Courier", the local
advertiser disguised as a newspaper....

I bet she doesn't make 7 days....having never been to sea, before. How
stupid he is to think she's gonna live at sea for 3 years.

As we have chatted about before, with HIM - experienced sailor and HER -
totally clueless and unable to do anything, they are virtually sailing
SINGLE HANDED. If anything happens to him, at all, even tomorrow before
they are totally exhausted, she's DEAD MEAT on that boat alone! A boat
that size needs EXPERIENCED CREW, dammit!

Stupid.....very stupid and foolhearty.

At the Beaufort Marine Air Station airshow, yesterday, a Top Gun
instructor lost his life in a crash into a Beaufort, SC, neighborhood.
Pilot killed, probably saving lives on the ground in the process.

No word on what happened, yet. Investigation and coverup just starting.

Last Navy Blue Angel accident was in 1999 in the ocean practicing.
