Shipmate
From Wiki: A shipmate is literally a mate on one's own ship, ie. a member of the same crew. A sailor of the oceans and seas who demonstrates selfless dedication and loyalty, putting the crew, the ship and the mission above his/her self interests. So... Who on this list would you prefer to ship with? And who would you avoid at all costs? |

As to the second, it seems rather obvious. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

I find the crew more reliable and enjoyable. On occasion I will take a few passangers. However they are PASSENGERS not crew. I also prefer to drink alone simply because I can not stand most drunks. I would neither sail with skip or Joe. Each for diffrent reasons however the outcome is mostlikly the same. I grew up a single child and find my company rather enjoyable. Bob |

I think sailing (or diving) with people or without them can have great benefits. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
