I thought that you were serious until you mentioned Joe! Joe is not a real sailor ..... he races around at 35Kts in FOG While racing around at 25kt not 35kts in fog I was a captain, not a sailor.

How much is it?

OK Crappy,
Questions that come to mind; that need answering. How much visual impairment is allowed. How much Hearing impairement. Right now I can hear better than you with my aids turned up and without them a lot worst. Is there a cut-off? How about "Cedar Bucket Time" is that in violation? Does a Proper Watch have to be human watch on deck or is Instrument/Electronic acceptable? Does the human monitor need to be on deck? Can they be on the "Cedar Bucket"? Can the human be in the galley making a meal or coffee while monitoring instruments below? Is that breaking the law? Please answer these question because there are more to follow; depending on the answers for the correct answers to the above. I would love to get the straight knowledge of these rules by an expert.

I'd take 1000000 Ellen's over one Neal any day...
"Gilligan" wrote in message ink.net... Congratulations to Ellen for setting a new World Record. This person bettered the previous record by a margin of about 2%, a true accomplishment by almost any measure. To the thinking person, this accomplishment raises several issues. First is the issue of sportmanship. Athletes are routinely penalized for unsportmanslike conduct and can suffer lifetime disbarment for other actions. Take Pete Rose for example, just for betting. Ellen has put herself and others at risk, potentially violated international law and treaties - where are the sanctions? Secondly is the potential issue of fraud. If a woman took first place in men's weightlifting in the Olympics, or outran the men in the 100 meter dash you can bet she'd have a cotton swab jammed in her mouth a for chromosome testing. If Ellen's feat is so grand and so remarkable even for a man, let alone a woman, any credible sports sanctioning institute would be testing away. Thirdly is the regard of sailing as a sport. The heavy reliance on equipment, sponsorship (she was sailing a billboard if you failed to notice) and possibly use of stimulants overweighs physical performance. This simply says sailing is not a true sport. As the good Captain has maintained sailing for most of you is an escape. Ellens escapade falls into the realm of entertainment and is a commercial enterprise. Proper sailing is a lifestyle, not an event. The few here who execute it with any grace are Captain Neal, Simple Simon and to a lesser degree, Joe. To prove this to yourselves, beyond a trace of doubt, ask yourself this question: "Would the oceans of the world be a better place to sail if it had 1000 Captains Neals on it or 1000 Ellens on it?"

I noticed that by day 47 Ellen had developed a beehive.
