they've just dug themselves deeper and deeper.

You gonna need a backhoe to fill in that hole they dug!

Not at all. They'll just go on posting this same comments again and again. They
think that if they continue to put a bend in the fishing pole, the battle is
still on.
Sadly, it's over and they lost. Mooron's best "attack" was about me forgetting
the batteries for the GPS which was pretty silly of me, but effected nothing.
The return trip was Line of sight all the way.

Thing is Bubbles is at pains to admit that he is NOT an expert and
gets howled down for that admission.

Quite so. I'm no master sailor. I'm still learning. But it's clear that I have
the right attitude to sail safely and sober.
Next season will be the Martha's Vineyard trip, which we are super-thrilled
about. Still not a "major" voyage, but the best we can plan for while Suzanne
is still in school.
