Willie-boy, as I've mentioned a number of times. I'm in Thailand and
you are in S. Florida..

And, who is the sailor?
Cheers,



Certainly not the so-called sailor who only managed to complete about half
of his way-too-lofty goals. Now he's stuck in a third-world backwater
because of it, too fearful to carry on. Beaten by a voyage he lacks the
necessary skills to complete. Not as pathetic as poor Joe, who failed in
close proximity to his home port, but not admirable either.

Failure is defined by not reaching a goal. You failed. I did not. I have met
every goal I have set for myself to date.

Given that I have lived for more than half of my life in Asia I wonder
where you came up with your misconception that I ever intended to go
further.

But of course you don't have misconceptions you simply make it up,
unfortunately your blathering is simply "ignorance in action'.

Wilbur: The proper length for your dinghy oars is short enough to fit
inside the boat.

Every other waterman in the world: "Oars should be long enough to
reach the water".

Willie: Publishes direction how to steal from WalMart.

The rest of us: "Is this guy so stupid to steal the cheap stuff that
Wally World sells for hooch?"

Willie declines to go sailing when the wind is below 5 MPH. Later in
the say it picks up to 7 mph and he decides to head for shore - the
wind is too strong for proper sailing.

I could go on but why bother. One guy abandons his boat believing he
and his crew are in danger. Willie sits at home and slanders the guy
based on a picture on the TV. A real show of the 'sailorboy's' real
colors. Does he say I was within 10 miles of you and didn't even
bother closing the cabin hatch? Nope, he says he saw it on the TV.

Willie the sailorman. Just ask him and he'll tell you where you went
wrong and never, never, backs up his assertions with even an iota of
experience. Willie the fool is a bit closer to the center of the
target.

Nope Willie, as a critic of marine activities you are about as
qualified as Winnie the Pooh. Willie the Pooh?

Cheers,

Bruce
