Ignorant people who label boats as 'little tiny".
 
One sorry individual attempted to deride people on
this group who sail 'little tiny sailboats.'

I suggest this fool read a couple of books.

"Sopranino" by Patrick Ellam and Colin Mudie, for one.

"Liberdade" by Joshua Slocum for one

Read about Marin-Marie and 'Winnibelle'.

Try reading Knox-Johnston's "A World of My Own".

Don't miss Albert Robinson and his yacht 'Svaap'.

And if you can stomach it read Tania Aibee's "Maiden Voyage".

There are plenty more good books about voyaging
in small boats. More than you have wits for sure.

PUTZ!

A few years back, Cruising World ran a series of articles about a family of
four who were cruising the world on a beefed up O'Day 25. They eventually
moved up to a larger boat, but they saw a lot of open water aboard that 25.

I sailed farther this summer than you have in your entire life, not including
your dreams.

Still waiting for your circumnav. book, Jane!

You're right!!!! I remember the names. For some reason I thought the boat
was an O'day, but since you remembered their names and I didn't, I declare
you correct!!!!

Martins (Dave and Jaja) they are now cruising in a 33 foot steelsloop

Keep waiting. At least that will keep you busy, since you sail so little.

Bwahahaha! Did you sail yesterday? I did! Will you sail today? I will!
Let me know how your book turns out!

Bwahahahahaha!

Impossible. You have previously stated unequivocaly that ALL boats must be out
of the water by November 1st.

The poor fool can't even remember what's written here.
Sad.
