Brave AND crazy. It's the sort of stuff that the British Empire was built
on!

Compare, and contrast to Bush's actions in Iraq, which are crazy AND dumb.

One never really knows until he meets it face to face, but I think I'd
rather fight towel heads for a year than a hurricane, in a 14 foot boat,
for a week.

I'd rather fight the British. We're better at it.

Yeah,
the invasion of Canada was a great success.

I was thinking the current British. Definitely, we need to stay the hell
away from the Canadians! Besides, I saw the movie.

Why do you have to politicalize everything up Donal?

Most people do not cross during hurricane season, why did he ?

I like the line "In the dark I could see little of the waves apart from
plumes of white, high above, like ghost horses galloping down on me."

Now if he was a United States Navy Seal, he would of made it without a
problem.

I wonder whether you are underestimating the "towel heads'" fighting
abilities, or your own sailing abilities!!

Perhaps the truth is that you wouldn't like to do either.

Joe, Americans haven't excelled at solo sailing since Joshua Slocum.

Well, duh! I served in Viet Nam and I have been in hurricanes at sea. One
would have to be mentally challanged to seek either.
