Bummer... but, the worst day sailing is better than the best day not
sailing... or so it's supposed to be anyway.

Bull****. Just ask Davey Jones. How about a few tens of thousands for
a new rig after a bad day in heavy weather? Next tell me a bad day
climbing rock or racing cars is better than staying home.

I should have added and survived. Why would you need a new rig after
sailing
in heavy weather? Unless you're talking about very dumb or very unlucky,
I
stand by my original comment.

What part of bad day didn't you understand?

Casady



I said that a bad day sailing is better than the best day not sailing.
What
part of sailing don't you understand?


I understand. If it's bad you redefine sailing to exclude it. To bad
real life won' t cooperate.

Casady



huh? I haven't redefined anything. Take the Satori, Perfect Storm fame. He
did just fine, and I'm betting it was a learning exprience. Sure Ray Leonard
was mightily inexperienced and was out of pocket, but he survived, no one
was seriously injured, and he's famous.
