He should have headed south from Malaysia until he picked up the prevailing westerly's and gone around the conventional way. This would have saved him lots of time and money and would have been a REAL circumnavigation. He'd have been better off spending his money on cruise ship tickets. It would have been less expensive. Some people are just so clueless. WHEN you do it, you can tell US who ARE doing it and HAVE done, it HOW to do it. Until then, from where you sit, it's all SHOULDA WOULDA COULDA from you. Sometimes you can be ****ing irritating. But then, I'm the one sitting in a nice little harbor on Nisyros so I have to count my good fortune. |

So, I'm sitting in a nice little harbor in the Florida Keys after thousands of miles of sailing. That's not peanuts, ya know. Your assumption that one must do a thing before one can be an authority on a thing would rule out any male Obstetricians, would it not? Might you logic be a bit flawed? -- Sir Gregory |

So, I'm sitting in a nice little harbor in the Florida Keys after thousands of miles of sailing. That's not peanuts, ya know. Thousands of miles? A thousand feet perhaps. Down the bay to anchor off the mud flat and back the next day. Remember? You reported this major cruise in loving detail. Your assumption that one must do a thing before one can be an authority on a thing would rule out any male Obstetricians, would it not? Might you logic be a bit flawed? However the male obstetrician actually knows what he is talking about... and is tested by a group of his peers to ensure that he does. He is not a pitiful neophyte who simply talks about it. The really pitiful part is that people with boats no larger then yours have made circumnavigations which rather evidences that your problem is simply a lack of intestinal fortitude. Capt. Neil, the Gutless Wonder. -- Cheers, Bruce in Bangkok |
