Wilbur,


No, I meant sarcasm:

sar.casm \"sär-'ka-z?m\ n 1 : a cutting or contemptuous remark 2 : ironic
criticism or reproach - sar.cas.tic \sär-"kas-tik\ adj -
sar.cas.ti.cal.ly \-ti-k(?-)lÈ\ adv

Notice how sarcasm embodies irony, however.


Where's the sarcasm? Is your OP supposed to be a send up of his lay-over
in S. A.?
Sorry, he's not running a race, he's sailing around the world. You need
to get a grip on your anger over Mr. Sunderland. He's doing what he wants,
not what you want. You sound pathetic.
At the end of his voyage he'll have had adventures and fun. You'll still
be whining.

Wrong! If you remember his goal when he started was to be youngest to sail
alone around the world. He's had a birthday already so he's failed in that
goal. He's motored so much that he's worn out his motor two or three times,
he's accepted tows into and out of port. Failure, failure, failure! Has
anybody mentioned he's a failure? No they haven't. Instead, they keep the
farce going that he's a success when nothing could be further from the
truth.

Nobody is going to learn the lesson which says don't send a boy to do a
man's job!
