Hi, Wilbur,

I note that this newsgroup is called rec.boats.cruising. I also note
that none of the thousands of posts you make say anything about your
cruising, let alone what places you've been or what cruising attempts
or work you've accomplished in, say, the last 5 years.

I, on the other hand, have regularly posted the work I've done to go,
and once gone, where I've gone and how I did it.

Your turn...

Skip,

I asked him the same question some time ago and he replied that HIS
cruises are for him alone and not to be spread all over the Internet
for the hoi polloi to read and comment on.

Jeeze, are you sure?

From reading his posts and looking at his web site I thought he and
the Mouse Boat had cruised thousands of miles, he was far fitter then
the rest of us, had only a bicycle to ride about on and hated women.

You don't mean to tell us that Wilbur makes an occasional exaggeration
do you? Blimey, fair ruin my faith in human nature, you do.

Skip is interesting, human. Willie? Willie who? Pomposity does not
sell, unless you got summat to pomp about, like being queen.

Be nice!

I have not followed closely the adventures of Skip and Lydia. I
admire their honesty and bravery. None of us is an expert at
anything. Everybody can learn something from everybody else. Skip
and Lydia are not embarrassed to admit their shortcomings. I hope to
meet them this year on the water. As for their detractors, I can only
say that many nay-sayers and critics have never really been there
themselves.

I generally try to be nice but I can't stand people like Skip who go
around making a mockery out of sailing and then act like it's so cool to
do so. Their reports are nothing but one blunder after another. Poor
example after poor example. Dangerous acts after dangerous acts. Neglect
after neglect. It's a wonder they managed to survive as long as they
have. It just goes to show some people have a lot of luck.

What I find most offensive about Skip's posts is how no mention is made
by him of WHY he manages to screw up almost everything he does. He never
examines his mistakes nor does he explain what he should have done to
avoid them. He sounds incapable of learning. He gives the impression
that it's normal to go blundering about dangerously putting his life and
his crew's life in danger, not to mention any innocent boaters who
happen to have the misfortune to be run over by him while he's below
typing his trip reports and checking his radar screen every 20 minutes
thinking he's operating safely. Give me a break. This man should be
given no respect - as a matter of fact he should be laughed off the
group.

It's one thing to write his kind of crap as a tall tale and I don't mind
that but Skip never mentions most of it's embellished or in jest because
it probably isn't. A beginning boater might well think Skip is a good
mentor because although he's a hazard on the water his posts are
something beginners might think of as the way sailing is done these
days.

Heaven forbid.

If they were embarrassed about their shortcomings they would have noting
to write about.

Peter, I think I'd amend that statement to read, "I can only
