Back to Wilbur/Greg/Neal, I was sorry to see Neal's site go down - it was
enjoyable reading, and looking at, while I don't prefer the color scheme,
the obvious pride and care he put into his "yacht" (to be fair, that's the
proper term in the other side of the pond for sailboats) was interesting
to view.


The "obvious pride" and other aspects of the site make it very hard for me
to believe that it wouldn't have included descriptions and pictures of where
he went and what he did in the boat. I would be floored to see proof that
it had ever made even a short cruise. I have yet to see any "wisdom" that
couldn't be regurgitated from boating books and several statements that a
small amount of actual experience certainly would have kept him from making.
