I can't see your supposition that you would be anywhere near your proposed
destination until Saturday evening with your current plan. Approach and
contact does not constitute arrival by any stretch of the imagination. How
do you propose obtaining photos and still allowing yourself adequate time to
undertake a return trip if you proceed to the Thimbles and anchor? If I
undertook to plan passage by your yard stick... I could claim landfall in
Mahone Bay by making VHF contact with the dock master from East Ironbound
Island, 15 miles short of the destination and call it done.

If Bill shows or not isn't relevant.... what is at question here is that
your claims are failing to meet logistical reality. I can understand why
Binary Bill is have a hearty guffaw at your expense. I would advise you
abandon your current regime of failure based strategies. Passage plan for
safety and sufficient time to enjoy your destination. Consistent failures
will eventually and detrimentally effect your self confidence in regards to
sailing.

You previously claimed that your wife was the navigator on your vessel...
are you relying on her planning to substantiate your claims? Please inform
her that Capt. Mooron urges her to reassess her current plan and factor in
sufficient time to undertake the trip.

It's unfortunate that you have a well equipped vessel that under proper
command would easily negotiate even a moonless evening landfall or anchorage
in complete safety and yet you seem unable to utilize your vessel to it's
obvious potential. This is a problem that will haunt you through successive
vessels. No matter how fine the ship or how fantastic the deal.... your
inability to utilize the boat to it's potential will negate any claim of a
superior vessel.
