There is a lot to be said for those "sun shirts" and floppy hats. I
discovered the sun shirt and have been wearing them this summer. A lot
cooler too than plain old T shirts.


If there's any wind those hats are next to useless. The same thing can
be said for any big, oversized floppy shirt. Dangerous when sailing
because they can get caught everywhere.

In this day and age there are many modern materials that can be worn
tight which wick away perspiration and keep you cooler than any large
floppy clothing.

Nope, the reason large floppy clothing is popular these day, is because
people are obese and they think such clothing makes their fat bodies
look more palatable. They think such clothing hides their obesity. They
are wrong. They just look like obese people with large, floppy clothing.
Have you seen photos of the Arabella crew? Disgraceful! I guess they
don't really enjoy what they're doing. Why else would they allow
themselves to continue to be candidates for heart attack or stroke?
