The idea that sailing is done for the sake of an audience and not the sailor
is one warped attitude. But, as can be seen in this very group, it has many
an adherent. It seems to be some sort of a perverse offshoot of the video
age. People like Skippy actually don't think they have done anything unless
a bunch of people are told about it. And if it happens to be a bumbling
idiotic and dangerous effort so much the better. And the telling of what
used to be something to be embarrassed about has become more important than
the doing of it in a seamanlike manner.

It's pathetic.
