The guy -- who claimed to have many,
many years of experience -- couldn't tack a 27 foot boat by himself without
help.

Seems to me that if I were going to be taking a lengthy trip on a sailboat,
I'd want to know exactly what the qualities of my crew were before I
departed....people lie about all sorts of things...I'd have them demonstrate
their abilities...but then, I'd also probably run a police report on them,
too, and want to speak to their Grandma to make sure they were nice....

it was a coastal cruise. port to port for maybe 300 miles. The crew was an
idgit, tho claimed decades of experience.

It took my friend and I two days to complete the trip. This year she went to
Nova Scotia solo.
