Without expressing any opinion about Skip and Lydia's skills, I am
glad that they are posting about their (mis) adventures and would like
to encourage them to continue. I think that's the free speech thing
that "you and some of your forebears" have "fought and sacrificed"
for.

I have certainly done dumb things while sailing.

Whether Skip and Lydia are accomplished sailors or not they are out
there doing it, and I can only assume, learning every day.

As an aside, Lin and Larry Pardey were not old salts when they built
their first boat and sailed off into the sunset. Lin was a bookkeeper
and Larry drove a forklift, in a lumber yard (if I remember
correctly).
