Pathetic account, IMO.

He went around the wrong way and in the wrong hemisphere. 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?

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.

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.
