Gordon


Told ya'all so. Didn't I say at the very beginning he was relying too
much on electrical gadgets and did not have near enough solar panel or
wind turbine power to keep up? Did I also not mention that he knows
nothing about electrical circuits, motors etc? Also, he has little or no
grip on the fact that sailing around the world and motoring around the
world are two different things. Also this constant stopping to have
somebody else fix things with air freighted in parts and "Daddy and
Mommy" holding his hand constantly via sat phone makes a mockery out of
the whole affair.

Did I not say his motor would crap out and it has several times forcing
him into port like a Skippy wannabe? His entire ill-conceived trip is
just his "live vicariously" parents putting the boy in harm's way. They
ought to be arrested for child endangerment.

"Youngest person to be baby-sat around the world." Is that something
about which to brag? I'd be ashamed to show my face if I were poor Zac.
He's become a laughing stock thanks to his manipulative parents. I feel
sorry for the lad. Ill used and a false spectacle!

So Wilbur,
Whatta ya think of Tanya Abib? (Did I misspell that?)



Tanya Abie of "Maiden Voyage" fame was twice the man poor Zac is. She had a
little help from her father on a couple occasions but nothing as ridiculous
as poor Zac. His parents are holding the baby bottle full of warm milk for
him, for Pete's sake.
