My lifestyle is that of a true sailor - a regular Joshua Slocum type -
while yours is that of a committe head organizer, a boat yard worker,
a
husband, a son-in-law, kennel keeper, day laborer, a wannabe
journalist
and socialite.


Errr.... Old Josh went around the world in a boat he built
himself...... somewhat different from one who publicizes his recent
trip down the bay to anchor in a mangrove swamp; complete with photos
too. Prior to that he built a boat in S. America and sailed it back to
N. England.

Nope, Willie-boy you've got a long way to go before you can call
yourself a J.Slocum look alike.

Willie-boy you've got a boat big enough to sail from S. America to N.
England, but you haven't done it; you've got a boat big enough to sail
across the Atlantic; but you haven't done it; you've got a boat big
enough to sail round the world, but you haven't done it. All you have
done is sail down the bay , bravely anchor for the night, and sail
back. You even documented this with photos so everyone would know
about this epic voyage.

Certainly you must be aware that Skip, in his short career as a sailor
has already sailed further then you have in your entire life.

Bruce must be in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's. He posted the above
and then fifteen minutes later he forgot he posted it so he posted it
again.

Poor senile old Bloke!
