What is funny about wanting to know how many meters of chain you've
put out?


What's funny about it is it should have been done PRIOR to starting off on
a circumnavigation.


How do you know it wasn't marked prior? It could have been done
with something like cable ties, which subsequently come off through
wear and tear.

She writes at about a 4th-grade level.
She apparently thinks like a 4th-grader to boot.


Aren't you forgetting that she's Dutch, and that therefore English is a
foreign language to her, which she's still in the process of learning?

You'd sound like a 4th-grader too if you tried to to write in some
other language. That's if you even know one well enough to try.
