Correction, Wayne is not heading south, we are south, actually headed
north a bit, up the west coast of warm sunny Florida after passing
through the Keys yesteday, and presently anchored at Marco Island. I
had almost forgotten just how great the weather is this time of year.
Unfortunately the satellite TV system is working a little too well and
we are still getting weather reports from New York City.

We'll be home again tomorrow and looking forward to boating with the
neighbors that we haven't seen for 6 months, and spending some quality
time around the pool.

Isn't winterization great?

That said, it would be my preference to not make light of the problems
of others. I've met Skip and Lydia a couple of times, they're nice
folks, and I sincerely hope that they will be able to overcome the
issues that they are facing and get on with their dream.


I disagree.

I do hope Skippy gets counseling and it would probably be best if Sylvia
divorced his sorry arse but I certainly don't wish they would "get on with
their dream." How can an onerous account of a comedic sham and a misguided,
inept circus be rightly called a dream. Maybe a nightmare but not a dream. A
dream connotes something positive and grand and wondrous. None of these
things describe the abortion that is the log of Flying Pig.

When will Skippy ever get real? When will he succeed? When will he become
a competent cruising sailor? When pigs fly!

Wilbur Hubbard


Probably much sooner then Wilbur, the non sailing sage, Hubbard, hero
of RBC. When are you going to tell us a cruising story about one of
your trips Hubie?

Just to put things in prospective, Tristan Jones sailed a boat named
Sea Dart for some years; over most of the Atlantic Ocean, passages
from South America to England, from England to the U.S, through the
Med, etc.

Sea Dart was 21 feet long.

You, on the other hand own a, what is it? 25 Foot boat so the only
thing that prevents you from following the lead of a real sailor is
either lack of experience or tiny little testicles.
