What you lubbers choose to call a *life* is little
more than an illusion. You lubbers end up being slaves
to what your society calls the *norm*. What you really
are is a bunch of automatons who proceed through life
pretty much in lock step with all the other marching
drones. What you call a life, we real sailors call
unnecessary clutter which is the result of conspicuous
consumerism. Your life is a sham, a construct that
benefits those who control you the most and you the
least.

So, don't presume to judge a free man on the basis
of your slavery.

And this is from an individual who apparently lives life by proxy.

Who posts to the Internet under false name, multitudes of false names,
and since his many aliases are well known, a utterly fake facade. One
can only marvel at the mentality that hides behind a fake false front.

A partial list includes: Wilbur Hubbard/Gregory Hall/Gwen Ives/Cecil
Warren/Capt.Neal/Simple Simon/Ellen MacArthur/Ed
Gordon873/Gloria/Wesley Mouch/Aratzio/Atlas Bugged/Jamie
Baille/Lumpy/Karen Anderson/GitRDunn/Phat_Arse/Jeff Relf/Blondie/Capt.
Moroon/Capt. America/Cap'n Crunch/Marcia/Lawrence Stone/Key
WestWym/Capt. Key West/Lonnie Anderson/Margaret/Jax Ashby.

His boating experience seems limited to reading about others who
actually participate in the activity and then disparaging their
experiences. Exactly as described in Aesop's fable about the fox and
the grapes.

In short, an individual who's entire life has been a meaningless and
vicarious experience.

One who, if his actions were not so obnoxious, would elect
considerable sympathy from others for his impoverished and empty life.

It might even *elicit* considerable sympathy!

And, that would be "whose entire life . . ."

C'mon, Bruce, put down the Thai sticks.

I live aboard year and sail 24/7 (season permitting) with the exception of winters when I still live on my boat but can't sail. It's not fun sailing the North Atlantic in the winters. So don't judge.

Good for you but I shall judge anyhow. Why not
sail to milder climes where winters ARE pleasant?

One of the best things about a well-found sailing
vessel is it has the capability to go anywhere the
sailor wishes to go.

If you wish to remain in an area of the world where
the winters are no fun then it might be concluded
that you aren't much of a sailor.
