Gosh. Then I guess my experiences in the Atlantic OCEAN and Pacific
OCEAN don't count because Wilbutt the Arbiter of All Things Nautical
sez they're not labelled a "sea" as he defines it; they're just
"oceans."

I say, if it's part of panthalassa, it's "the sea;" or more simply,
any salt water counts. And if you wanna share a scary story about "the
storm you survived" (which is after all the actual title of Joe's
original post), no matter where it happened, I for one am interested
in reading it.

And why am I reading and responding to anything "Wilbur" says anyway?
Must've forgetten to take my meds this morning. Think I'll go correct
that now.

Frank - the other one


Hey, it's just Neal's latest sockpuppet. No one pays any attention to
it.

The experience sold me on sailing. Hey, experienced sailors told me
it probably would not get any worse than that, so why not?
