I've asked some fairly honest sailing oriented questions
regarding passage planning and navigation.

About a 75 mile trip? Oh, okay.

RB

all I have to say is that when someone claims the capability to
make a passage within a specified time frame and boasts about rubbing
peoples noses in his success

75 miles, Mooron. Take a pill. "Success" is a pretty strong word. We could do
the trip in well under a day if we chose to.

RB

How would you deem that I could suffer "humiliation" from any aspect or
outcome of your trip? How could you administer a "beating" ???

Monday is a few days away. I'm afraid you have no choice but to wait.

Who's "we"? You and the voices?

Don't be so defensive Bob... 75 miles in a 12 hour time frame is a real
push. You seem to be routing like a power boater. Average speed over
distance as opposed to the total distance over ground due to wind and
tacks. A 75 mile distance can easily add up to 100 miles distance sailed.
Consider that 120 miles in a 24 hour period is considered good time when
ocean sailing.

Considering your "day" is 12 hours [ sunrise to sunset avg.]... There is no
way you can make it in "well under a day". You'd make it in a day if you
started very early and dropped hook very late.

Where's the mpeg of a well tuned boat on a reach with a free helm Bob????

I can't see any humiliation or beating Bob..... I've completed a trip from
Halifax to Mahone Bay in one day.... that's aprox. 80 nautical miles

I'm not questioning your trip to Halifax, Mooron.
Perhaps you need to refocus.

RB

I can't see any humiliation or beating Bob.

That's why it's going to be fun!
