Did ya read this one. Guy named Reid Stowe who is 50 something is off
for
a 1,000 day at sea sail.

At his side will be the lovely ..Soanya Ahmad, a Queens born daughter of
immigrants from Guyana.

She is like 23!

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

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

[ "Want to sail for 2,000 days at sea with 50 something guy"? If yes,,
leave name and number ..]
[ must be younger than 25, and be from a country whose literacy rate is
very low. ]
[ Prefer young, beautiful, super model for this adventure. ]

Hey ... if this is working for Reid ,, this could work for me ..
aka-Captain Stud.

Soon ,, the headline will be "Captain Stud and his super model
girlfriend
leave for 2,000 day at sea
trip ..

When we arrive back at the pier in downtown Portsmouth after a 20 love
cruise, I will tell the press:

"who said 2,000 days; it was suppose to be 20 days" .. "some wise guy
must have added the 00000's"

This proves what Dr Phil has taught us .. don't worry, be happy..
Maybe
that wasn't Dr Phil... Bob Marley?
Bob Dylan ? Hugh Hefner? Some great mind!

Remember the guy that was going to sail around in the Atlantic tracing out
the shape of a great whale or something? Maybe 2 years ago.
He was taking his new wife with him and figured they would be out there
for
many months sailing and growing sprouts. I think it lasted about 2 months
before she filed for divorce.

Some quite well-known people have ended up like this. Some years ago there
was
a couple from Texas that set off around the world and posted their
experiences
on the Internet every day. It sounded like a pretty contentious
relationship
with her jumping ship from time to time. They said their relationship did
not
include sex. Hey, I believe them. That's their story and they are sticking
to
it. Later, the former editor of Practical Sailor and his companion, after
years of building and outfitting a boat, took off around the world.
Somewhere
half way through, she jumped ship. But I believe they got together again,
completed the voyage and sold the boat. An English couple we know in a 42
foot
cat got as far as Australia, where the boat now lies for sale while they
are
back in England tending to business. They say if they can't sell her in Oz
they will sail her home. We'll see.

The fellow from Practical Sailor, was he the one that built his heavy duty
ocean going dreadnaught with a tiller only to discover that his wife didn't
have enough strength to steer the boat? I recall he belatedly added wheel
steering.
