To JRGilbreath
 
Looks like you were wrong, my friend, about no mud in the Bahamas.

Read the replies to my query about mud in Marsh Harbour.

Capt. It truly looks like I don't know the different between sand and
mud. Good thing I don't mix cement. Are you really taking your boat to
the bahamas?

No I really wasn't, but I don't know Capt Neal so I'm not sure if he
does what he says he will do or not. I haven't lurked here long enough
I guess. I have seen boats as small as 22 footers cross but I wouldn't
want to do it.

I'm a Korean War veteran (Navy) and let me tell you that Marsh Harbor has
almost as much mud as Inchon Harbor. I don't know what it is with these
people's disrespect for decorated war veterans such as ourselves.

How come?

JR Gilbreath March 22nd 05 03:03 AM

It just doesn't appeal to me. I like more comfort than a 22 foot boat
can provide.

Wish I could recall the name of their book, but a man and his wife sailed
their 20' Pacific Seacraft Flicka from the US left coast to the South
Pacific. The overriding theme of the book was the constant, incessant
beatings they both took from their passages in such a tiny boat. They quit
counting bruises and contusions after a while, there were far too many of
each. A few serious injuries as well. His wife flew home, forcing him to
single-hand on the homeward legs. Then only HE got beat up.

Small boats, while capable of making open water passages, simply don't offer
the level of comfort most humans have come to expect while sailing. Length
generally equals comfort.

You never know with Neal... I suppose it's possible, but more likely he'll
just go to some bar, get drunk, try to pick up some 13 year-old, and get his
parole revoked again.
