It's time we sailors started to face the facts that our pride and joy is

and support this trash sailing.

Reminds me of the fatal crash of a Cessna . A girl who was too young
to get a pilots license, was trying to land in each of the 48 states.
She was accompanied by her instructor who was the legally required
pilot, and her father. They took a chance with dubious weather, they
had a schedule, it seems.
