Young Zac has blown his chance to sail alone around the world. This
from his blog:


Sorry, but Zac is now an admitted fraud and a cheater. Your opinion and
low standards don't matter a lick.

to be accused of cheatimg or fraud he would not have admitted to recieving
the tow, he did not

So your really think accepting a tow is irrelevant when sailing alone
around the world??? Well then, if he can be towed two miles into port
then why not five miles, or ten? A hundred, maybe? What if he gets
becalmed in the middle of an ocean? Can he allow himself to be craned
aboard a freighter and ride as deck cargo for 500 miles or until the
winds pick back up? A thousand miles? Where is the cut-off point?

What ever happened to people actually doing what they claim to be doing?
He's claiming to sail alone around the world. Never mind that he's
already cheating by sailing "by committee" with legions helping him with
anything and everything. He can't repair a boom himself. He has no
mechanical aptitude. He can't keep his motor running. He spends more time
blabbing on satellite telephones than a teenage girl. That's hardly
sailing alone. But, in a very strict sense it could be interpreted to
mean he's the only one at the helm of his boat and making his own way.
so you have never asked for advice my what a clever person you must be

But even this loose interpretation all comes to a screeching halt the
minute he accepts a tow. Then, he's definitely NOT sailing alone around
the world. His boat is being TOWED for heaven's sake. Unless he makes his
way ALL the way around the world under his own power he has NOT sailed
alone around the world. And don't give me this crap that sailing into and
out of port doesn't count. It definitely DOES count as it's all part of
the voyage around the world. You can't snip a chunk out here and another
chunk out there and legitimately claim you have sailed alone around the
world.

If you knew jack **** you would be aware that he must sail back past where
he will have picked up tow to continue thereby the milage "sailed will
still be completed
It saddens me that so many people like you have such low ethical
standards that you actually condone blatant and obvious cheating. Ask
yourself why you're like that. Is it because you are also a cheater in
any life's pursuit? Probably.

why must you belittle the efforts of these you adventurers, would you
prefer them to join street gangs and turn to crime.
I say again get a life


Spoken like a good liberal. There is a huge difference between effort and
accomplishment in case you've forgotten the obvious. I am not belittling
Zac's effort. I am belittling his accomplishment because, by accepting a
tow, his accomplishment is NOT what he's claiming it to be. He's a fraud and
a liar!

It's that simple. We realists still believe that accomplishment counts and
effort is something any old fool can direct or misdirect. Only when the
effort results in accomplishing the stated goal is effort worth anything.
Get it? Effort and failure is failure. Effort and success is success. In
other words effort has NO meaning as a stand alone process other than being
a starting point.

Captain Joshua Slocum is credited as being the first man to sail solo around
the world. And yet he took passengers aboard for day outings during his
circumnavigation. Oh, my! He didn't really sail "solo" at all! Except that
he was careful to, if I recall correctly, return his guests to their point
of boarding before continuing his solo effort.

If Zac accepted a tow to get repairs, his effort will still count as an
accomplishment as long as he returns to the point where the tow began before
continuing his solo. It would only be terminated if he was attempting a
non-stop circumnavigation and had to stop for any reason.

Good Lord, Karin! Talk about bankrupt logic. Using your logic, Zac might as
well sail to a starting point two miles off the coast from the California
marina where he started. Then he can be towed around the world back to that
very starting point then sail back in and he would then have sailed alone
around the world.

You missed my point. He would have to return to the point where he accepted
the tow and then continue around the world on his own.

You missed my point.

No he didn't, he's just a pathetic trolling **** who doesn't have the
balls to sail a boat.

The problem for trolls is that give away too much about themselves,
their prejudices and their fears when they post. And by that it's easy
to see what pathetic nobodies they are.

All I did is reverse the tow and the sail making it ludicrously obvious that
unless one sails the whole way around the world one is not sailing around
the world. You can't snip out a chunk here and a chunk there of the voyage
and claim those chunks don't count. You haven't completed your voyage unless
and until you go the entire way by yourself under your own motive power.
This is so obvious. Only other cheaters and shirklaws would claim otherwise.

Methinks you are being deliberately obtuse. If one returns to the point at
which the tow began before continuing the voyage, there is no missing chunk.

Oh, and in Captain Slocum's day, an engine meant steam power. I think he
would have installed a diesel if they had been available in his era.

I'm done with this this one. Fire away if you wish.

It's a good thing you threw in the towel because I was about to hit you with
the big guns.

Using your idiotic premise, instead of placing those waypoints two miles out
in the ocean from the port lets place them 2,000 miles out in the ocean.
Then let's tow the boat back and forth from port to these 2,000 mile out in
the ocean waypoints which amount to a small circle of waypoints
approximately 2,000 miles in diameter. You seem to be claiming that if one
sails around this 2,000 mile diameter circle while getting towed into and
out of port two thousand miles at a time when you feel like getting a steak
or watching a movie or when you get tired of sailing as long as you sail the
circle you have sailed around the world alone.

Duh! Double Duh!!

No! No! You don't understand! Wilbur (the Sage of the Sailors) is
always right!

To paraphrase the poet, "yours not to question why, your's but to do
or die". You see, if you don't it will cause Willie's tiny ego to
crumble to dust and he will become a non-entity.

You wouldn't want that on your conscience.... would you?
