But working your way down a coastline is just a bit easier than striking out across a few thousand miles of open water. You should know. You sail a catamaran, don't you? When (not if) a catamaran capsizes it is healthier for the entire crew if it's within sight of land when it happens. Your double digit IQ is showing again Neal. It was catamarans the Polynesians were using to cross vast distances of open water, while the Europeans were hugging the coast in monohulls. So when are you going to tell us how you lost your boat Neal? You must have screwed up pretty badly, given that it had positive flotation. They probably repo'd it. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
