You certainly aren't speaking from experience as the longest voyage
you have made was your celebrated cruise down the bay to anchor off a
mud flat to avoid the sounds of a band playing.


Good one there, Bruce.
I really wish Neal would post a cruising log, as I'm sure it would be
interesting.
But I'm not holding my breath.

Hey, Wayne. Been lurking around, but not much to say.
No boat!
Ready for another Captain Tony party boat trip?
I'll be down there mid-October.
If the weather's right on the 20th, I'll probably go for it.

Vic posted that he doesn't even have a boat. So, one wonders what
makes Vic think he's qualified to impugn my character and credentials?

Why, at least you own a sailboat, even though all it does is act as a
place keeper at some decrepit dock in a third-world backwater where
you ended up after having failed at your circumnavigation attempt.

Neither of you have the standing to criticize the merits of one who lives
aboard and has lived aboard for nigh on 27 years now and who
continues to cruise from time to time?

I assume that you firmly believe that someone who lives in a house
trailer is an expert on road building and highways, or even more
unlikely, that someone who lives in a house built on the earth
becomes, by osmoses a qualified earth scientist.
