Zac arrested for expired visa
 

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.

Seems unlikely: he's only been in SA since 12 December (less than 2 months);
visitors' visas are valid for 90 days and besides, US Citizens don't need
visas to visit South Africa.

Apart from that he seemed to be in good spirits when I met him in Cape Town
on Friday. Said he was planning to leave on Wednesday.

John,

Neal is crushed that Zac makes him look like the contents of his
cedar bucket....daily.
It kills him everytime anyone sets sail. Just ignore him.

Have you seen this boat?

Its there in Cape Town.

Haven't noticed it on any of my travels around here and it's certainly big
enough to notice. That's a lot of money to have tied up in an unfinished
project!

Yah, right. Poor Zac has already blown his chance to be youngest around the
world. He's so slow and he dallies so much at every port socializing and
constantly having to get things fixed that he broke because he doesn't know
what he's doing that he's already had a birthday. He's failed in his quest
to be youngest around the world. But, as a failure yourself, you have a
vested interest in marginalizing failure. Makes you feel better the more
company you have, huh?

On the contrary. I love it when somebody sets sail provided that somebody
knows what he or she's doing and their voyage doesn't end up being little
more than a soap opera comedy of errors as they blunder their way from port
to port needing a cast of hundreds to accomplish what a lone man can and has
many a time accomplished on his own.

What kills me is how sailing and cruising have become *******ized to the
point of absurdity by modern-day 'sailors' who are an embarrassment to the
trade. These failures have adopted the ignorant liberal philosophy that "to
try is to succeed." There is no longer any "try then succeed" there is only
"try because to try is to succeed." This is a warped reality. This is
pathetic. One of the last bastions of manhood is success at lone-handed
ocean voyaging. Success at voyaging is not some committee of hundreds
enabling parents living vicariously through their pimple-faced brat to
accomplish something there is NO WAY said brat could accomplish alone while
attempting to claim some false record of sailing "alone" around the world.
It's a farce and a travesty.

Forget it, Joe. That one will sink under your unsteady hand just as easily
as "Red Cloud."

Ok thanks. It is a lot of boat.
I just wondered if it looked as good in person as the pictures.
It's been setting unfinished a few years, with no ports or wheelhouse
windows it could be going downhill fast.

It's time for a dose of reality in a world of girly-men to whom mediocrity
is to be applauded because the girly-men are so pathetic themselves and have
no aspirations to better their sorry lot.

Are you trying to be the dose of reality? (hehehe)
Or one of the girly men?

I mean, for Pete Sake, Wilbur, grow the **** up!
