You've GOT to be kidding!! I bought a boat that has a hull that HAS NOT
ONE SINGLE SOLITARY BLISTER. The hull was laid up in 1971 and the entire
boat was commissioned in 1972. Count them, Dockbound Dweeb, forty years
of perfection. Forty years of fast, reliable, trouble-free sailing. Over
210,000 miles of reliability, at a purchase price of a mere 13 large. I
have kept "Cut the Mustard" in 'better than new' condition since 1985
when I purchased her from the original owner. Here are some recent
photos:

The photo on top is OLD. The photos below are recent. Eat your
dock-licking heart out, Brucie Boi. You have NOTHING that can compare.
You FAILED in your circumnavigation attempt by half while I SUCCEEDED in
my coastal cruising lifestyle with 210,000 miles under the keel with
perhaps a paltry 1,000 of those miles motoring - the remainder under
sail.

YOU LOSE!

P.S. "Bruce" sure is a gay-sounding name. LOL!

Willie boy, while you have an eloquent command of the English
language, your math really sucks.

210,000 miles since 1985 works out to 22 miles a day, each and every
day. You could make twice that in a daylight day with your vessel
given fair winds, but not much more, so you could travel every other
day.

You keep harping on being a "blue-water sailor" and owning a
"blue-water yacht", yet in your own words you are living "my coastal
cruising lifestyle".

Let's see, would 26 years of swinging at anchor while reading about
real cruisers add up to 210,000 miles of movement? And be defined as
"coastal cruising" since the boat is moving, albeit from side to side
and a bit of up and down?
