Default Avoiding Hazards At Sea

Sad and pathetic that a 16 YO boy can intimidate the hell out of Neal
Warren (AKA Wilbur, Greg Hall, ect) the pretend sailor.

I haven't seen Neal so upset since Ellen was in the news.

Can you imagine having the need to dis a 16 year old young man?
Just how pathetic is that?

Neal will never run out of cook stove fuel.
Neal will never run aground
Neal will never lose a boat
Neal will never rip a sail
Neal will never bend a prop
Neal will never need a tow
Neal will never have a crew member injured
Neal will never capsize a boat
Neal will never be knocked down
Neal will never hole his hull
Neal will never lose a race

Stark truth is Neal will avoid it by sailing no where, doing nothing,
and being nothing.

Neal is a man of words, he has a Phd in it. He is more suited at
becoming an expert by reading what experts say, then cloning it in a
puppet formin a sad attempt to impress.

Neal is a pessimist living on a meger pension. Wilbur spends countless
hours pretending on the internet, it is his forte.

Neal will never discover the secret of the sea, or sail to an
uncharted island or inspire a child to yearn for a life at sea.

I would judge great sailors and Captains of the sea not so much by
where they stand, as in what direction they are sailing. To reach any
port worth being real sailors and skippers must sail with the wind and
sometimes against it. But they must sail, not drift, stayed tied to
the dock, nor moored on chicken bone reef. like Neal.

Time at sea make wise sailors. Zac is sailing off into the sunset
over and over and over.
Neal is sailing a keyboard.

While people like Neal complain about the wind, Zac will adjust his
sails.
Neal thinks sailing is an adventure of the mind, while people like
Zac, Skip, Joe, Ellen, and many of the real regulars here know it is
an adventure of the soul.

People like Zac will make port from adventures, and perils, and
discoveries with new experiences and character. While people like
Nealbur remain stagnant and bitter, and old.

I pity the fool
