Many thanks Gilligan!
After two whole days of not reading in asa, I find 315 new posts. Your
idolatrous purport has nudged me just enough to do the right thing, "mark
all as read".
I am most grateful to you.

Why must everyone deride and mock the Good Captain? He is one of the few
to
think primarily of ideas, of cause and effect. He's consistently kept this
board on track with pertinent sailing related topics and broadened it by
applying time tested truths to the world at large. I, for one, admire the
Good Captain who disdains the fashionable for the correct and true! He is
a
real life role model for everyone, being a principled humantarian and
philosopher. The Good Captain knows the difference between "fun" and
contentment. God Bless him.
