He went down stairs to make a sandwich and ended up on the beach. Prior to
then, he tangled his rudder with a line and drifted for days until the CG
figured it out for him & cleared it.

A guy who can buy a nice boat like that must have some real money. I
wonder at his arrogance that he won't hire a pro captain to instruct him &
assist in the journey. Pride goeth....



We pro captains don't suffer fools well . . .
