Skip.. you postings are mostly about your travails. Things that
break, running aground, bad weather, the sinking, etc.
And now you post that people are berating you, that you are amused by
the amount of space your activities generate.

This is "rec.boats.cruising" not
"wreck.sailboats.breakdowns.sinkings.groundings.di saster".

There are cruising boat all over the world, going from one port to
another, visiting far off places, and most don't have
half the issues you have had in their lifetime afloat, never mind in 6
months.

I think it is time for you to get your act together. You are a
Captain whether you like it or not.

It is about time you started acting like, and sounding like, a
Captain.

How about one cruise that goes right. A boring, we went from point A
to point B cruise. We anchored, we ate, we played chess.

If you continue as you have been you will need to change the name of
your boat from Flying Pig to Total Disaster.


Thank you, sir! It makes me so happy to see that not everybody here
thinks Skip is an admirable character instead of the blundering poor
example who gives cruising sailors a bad name that he really is. He's
obviously read every Cruising World Magazine ever published where their
stock and trade is article after article of blundering sailors who
proceed from one mishap, disaster and disgrace to another. The
frightening thing is there is now a couple generations of sailors who
think sailing is supposed to be a comedy of errors.
