Please Bob.... stop your thrashing. You are falling back on your tried
and
true "Hooo Haaa" defense. I'm not attacking anyone... I'm seeking
clarification which you seem unable or unwilling to supply. Why is that
Bob? You boast of a report and provide a rather sketchy overview of
items
which might interest a lubber but means nothing at all to a sailor.

Speaking as a sweet, innocent, fresh-faced n00b who will, hopefully in a
few
weeks, be embarking on hs first cruise in his vast, ocean-going 18-foot
mega-yacht, I would be most interested in hearing of Bobsprit's journey in
some detail in the hope that I might learn something about passage
planning - all that wind and tide stuff and how it's calculated.

Wally,
when you need to take a leak, you don't try to pee to windward.
When you want to learn about sailing, you don't ask Bob..... especially if
the trip is going to be more that 3 nautical miles!


If you want to learn about passage planning, just ask. You could start
some (badly needed) great threads.


Regards


Donal
