What kills me is how sailing and cruising have become *******ized to
the
point of absurdity by modern-day 'sailors' who are an embarrassment to
the
trade. These failures have adopted the ignorant liberal philosophy that
"to try is to succeed." There is no longer any "try then succeed"
there
is only "try because to try is to succeed." This is a warped reality.
This
is pathetic. One of the last bastions of manhood is success at
lone-handed
ocean voyaging.

And what is your own record, Wilma, which qualifies you to take the ****
out
of people who do actually try?
(I won't hold my breath waiting for an answer from the world's greatest
bul****ter)

He got a response out of you, so he got what he came for. He'll be
glad to know he's found a barrel of cooperative fish he can come back
to whenever he gets the urge.

Congratulations on a job well done!

Thanks, I deserve it.
Wilma and I go back a long way, don't we Wilma?

Yup, some of these newbie people just don't get it. Like they refuse to
understand that trying and failing is failing. Look at salty dog, for
example. After a very cogent argument from Greg about trying and failing is
failing (I happen to agree with him) here comes salty asking what I, Wilbur
Hubbard, have "tried." Pretty lame.

If you sit down to take a crap and all that issues forth is a fart or two
you have failed to take a crap. Yet, the salties of this world actually
think that you didn't fail to take a crap. Rather you succeeded in "trying"
to take a crap. This is such warped thinking based on liberalism. It's too
bad this type of lunacy has lately crept into sailing and voyaging.
