Bwaahahahhahahaha.

I told you so.

"The previous youngest to complete a similar voyage was American Zac
Sunderland last month, but his effort is not recognized by Guinness
World
Records."

Wrong! His stated goal was to be the youngest person to sail alone
around
the world.

He failed miserable as he did not sail alone around the world. He had
help
with tows into and out of various ports. He used the Panama Canal which
is
not sailing. He had all sorts of people constantly working on his boat.
He
dilly-dallied around for months at a time and had a birthday en route
while
workmen refitted his boat time after time. Fail, fail, fail. The entire
journey was an embarrassment to us real sailors.

Sailing alone around the world involves the three great capes -
Leeuwin,
Good Hope, Horn. Using the Panama Canal or the Suez canal is not a
circumnavigation. That alone makes a travesty out of it.

It's time we sailors started to face the facts that our pride and joy
is
being *******ized by publicity hound parents who live vicariously
through
their brats. Even worse is those arm chair sailors who seem to approve
of
and support this trash sailing.

Neal is very familiar with being alone.




You are too, apparently. Perhaps it's the dress, Mike?

Bwhahahahahaha!




Changing it won't do you any good. I saved the page of you in your pretty
dress and all dragged out on my hard drive for future harassment.
Bwahahhahahahaha.
