Poor, hapless, Zac Blunderland's supposed to be sailing around the world but
he's now been in South Africa for over two months and he just got arrested
for having an expired visa.

Pretty pathetic reply, even for you.

Take your meds tonight.

Everything will be better in the morning.

Where's the sarcasm? Is your OP supposed to be a send up of his lay-over
in S. A.?
Sorry, he's not running a race, he's sailing around the world. You need
to get a grip on your anger over Mr. Sunderland. He's doing what he wants,
not what you want. You sound pathetic.
At the end of his voyage he'll have had adventures and fun. You'll still
be whining.

Well, you see, willy boy is so desperate for someone - anyone - to
communicate with him that he is now reduced to lying simply in order
to make someone notice him.

Pitiful, really.

How long did it take Slocum? My copy of his book is at my mothers
house.

Slocum actually 'sailed' around the world. No motor on his "Spray." I think
it took him a couple of years but he wasn't out to be the youngest or the
oldest or the fastest, etc. He didn't care much about records. His main
motivation was to do a solo circumnavigation as enjoyment and he stopped and
lectured, etc. as needed to get funds to continue. This is real sailing and
a real one-man show. A far cry from some pimple-face kid who doesn't have a
clue being pushed around the world via committee, repair crews and diesel
power.

Wrong! If you remember his goal when he started was to be youngest to sail
alone around the world. He's had a birthday already so he's failed in that
goal. He's motored so much that he's worn out his motor two or three times,
he's accepted tows into and out of port. Failure, failure, failure! Has
anybody mentioned he's a failure? No they haven't. Instead, they keep the
farce going that he's a success when nothing could be further from the
truth.

Nobody is going to learn the lesson which says don't send a boy to do a
man's job!
