Capt. Joe of Red Cloud infamy is 'one in a million.'
http://www.one-in-a-million-rescued.org/ Reach into your pocket, Joe, and donate generously to help defray the great cost the Coast Guard incurred because of the hasty and most likely unnecessary air lift from 'Red Cloud'. Anybody else reading this who has also suffered the indignity of a rescue at sea should also consider supporting the brave rescuers. . . Wilbur Hubbard |

I've cruised under sail thousands of miles more than poor hapless Joe and I've NEVER been in any situation where I felt it necessary to call the Coast Guard for a rescue operation. I know my boat and I have eliminated all her weaknesses. I know when and where to sail and when and where NOT to sail. Unlike Joe, the motorboat type, who spent more time painting the rusty steel hull when he should have been taking a close look at the systems such as the rudder, I spend most of my time making sure my vessel won't founder in a little old cold front. Joes just figures he'll motor his way though. My gosh, how sad is one's preparation if a cold frontal passage sinks you because your rudder control hardware falls apart and the rudder commences to punch holes in the transom? Duh! I guess Joe never heard of a rudder stop? Wilbur Hubbard |

Doesn't look that bad, although it isn't a Grand Banks. I thought of taking one from Iowa to Halifax. Not go more than a hour or so offshore,perhaps cutting a corner or two rather than ICW all the way. Not the cheapest RADAR made. Liferaft. One hundred flares. Never know when you might find a nearly sunken container. Casady |

Wilbur Hubbard Neal I pay taxes, I've been funding them all my life. Plus I did not charge the USCG to use my vessel as a command post during hurricane Alicia at the city docks in Houston. Nor did I charge PHI when I rescued a down chopper with 6 passangers in the Gulf that had only one pontoon inflate and capsized. I also did not charge the USCG when they requested I tow a capsized Sport fisher out of the Matagorda Jetties. Did not charge Mobil when they had a poison gas leak and asked us to shuttle them out to a production rig. Was working for Anadarko. Never charge the many many mariners who I've towed to the docks,,off the mud, or oyster reefs..ect.. One of my crew member served 4 years in the USCG and I served 4 in the Navy Every New Years day I bring enough coffee for every USCG member stationed at Ellington Field to get his fill and more. We also provide free coffee every day of the year at the Galveston Seafarers Center for any working mariner who wants it. Donated coffee for the Gala ball saluting the USCG this year. They even had a special table named after the USCG Cutter Heron that tried to assist us but had to turn back due to seas to big for the 110 ft cutter, they only made it ten miles offshore before they had to turn back. I'd rather chance getting rescued then spending my life on a chain having to crap in a bucket. Sheeze you live on a dime store boat made for day sailing at best. The 13 years I sailed RedCloud I put more miles on her then you ever have dreamed of sailing, including many offshore Regetta's. Would you like to touch on the subject of making money as a master mariner? You did have a joke of a ticket once..right? I made 100's and 100's of thousands of dollars over the years I worked as Captain. How about you? So go **** yourself Nellie, you do not have the right to advise me on donating anything. Joe Also donated coffee for auctions that help keep the Elissa floating, and funding for the Seafarers center. |
