Default Poor Bruce in Bangkok - he knows nothing about sailing.

No. Not really.
He explains it very clearly.

It seems like you just don't want to hear anything anybody else says.
ESPECIALLY Bruce.




Yes, of course. Bruce is a has-been. His sailing knowledge base is
outdated by about 35 years which is about the time he retired from
sailing. He's been living aboard at a dock in Thailand since. What could
the Rube possibly have to say that was worth hearing considering my
experience? Especially when you consider the fact that I still sail and I
don't live at a dock but have been cruising and living on the hook and
sailing and passage-making and generally living the sailing life actively
for 25 years, why would I need or want to listen to some amateur who has
such outdated sailing knowledge.

And his boat is one of those too-big abominations that pretty much
guarantee failure. And, he's married which also just about guarantees
failure. He's everything a good sailor is NOT.

Not short on arrogance, are you...



To a novice, competence, experience and unabashed pride in a job well-done
often appears to be arrogance.
