Then how do you explain all the American boats I saw out of mainland
USA when we were both in the Abacos and the Virgin Islands?

There is more than one way to get someplace other than the direct route as
seen on a chart or map.
There are many many yachts of US registry in the Bahamas and in the Virgins.
That doesn't mean they all sailed there directly. Some of the motor boats
maybe but sailboats - few, if any are foolish enough to attempt such a long
slog against wind and current. Since you don't seem to realize this FACT it
tells me you are totally unqualified to try such a thing. Forget it.


That is the route I am planning on taking. Abacos, along the top edge
of the Bahamas, down Southeast towards Turks & Caicos, then bypassing
DR and PR totally, right into USVI then BVI. You sure I can't stick
close to the islands? Hitting Bermuda for the sake of a single tack,
is a bit much.

You'd better CHANGE your stupid plans or you're going to end up dead. You
are acting totally irrationally. You are acting like some stupid twit. You
don't try what you are talking about in a sailboat even in the off-season
and you are going to attempt it at the height of the hurricane season. You
are an idiot! Typical of the fool who thinks sailing is something to do by
brute force, without knowing the first thing about it, relying upon chance
and good luck. Well, your brute force ain't squat compared to Mother
Nature's brute force. And you're good luck will run out. You will probably
die. WAKE UP!

My honored poster:

I must completly disagree with your advice,
The boater should follow his dream as did Skip & Lydia.
After all whats so hard about sailing considering all the amazing
technology availible today. Add to this the USCG is just a call away..
you know, sorta like a maritime On-Star. If their passion is there by
all means they should follow their dream. Like the albatross that
soars so will their hearts and soles soar to their destiny... their
dream... their future.. their passion.

I hope BeeRich understands the farcical nature of your post but I doubt it.
He or she sounds clueless to me. Just another self-made victim for the Coast
Guard to practice their rescues on.

Your comments are the exact pie-in-the sky, liberal, feel good sentiments
that are the direct cause of "Red Cloud" being on the bottom of the Gulf
after being abandoned in mildly-rough weather by her
listen-to-nobody-with-experience captain. Funny how thoseliberal feel-good
sentiments are so quickly abandoned when one becomes very frightened of
losing one's life.

But, no matter what you say or do there is a certain group of ignorant,
stubborn losers who refuse to listen to sensible advice and *feel* they can
buck the odds. Yah, right! May their bones rest in peace on the sea bottom.

Dear Wilbur, you moron. Get off your high horse and realize the
world's waters are not yours. To say that nobody sails anywhere south
of the Chesapeake during YOUR time of warning, is just a farce, like
your posts.

Get of your "ignorant" horse and listen to those who know something about
the folly of your intended actions. You're welcome to the world's waters but
they'll be your grave for all eternity if you don't change your uppity
attitude that's clearly based upon abject ignorance and arrogant stupidity.
You don't even know the basic information as to the Atlantic hurricane
season. You don't seem to understand the distances and time involved in
sailing to the BVIs. You seem to think you can stay close to land and run
for shelter. You have no clue as to storm speeds, storm changes in direction
or likely paths. I bet you have never even heard of the term "recurve." You
are just some stupid lubber with dreams that are sure to turn into a
nightmare if you don't become more educated and less like some ignorant
stubborn little girl.

Yah right. Just pick a time because it fits your lubberly schedule. Don't
plan a voyage around winds and currents and tropical storms. Nah, mariners
don't need to do that anymore. We have technology and we have satellites to
predict the weather. We can put our motors in gear and outrun anything. Just
disregard everything about the environment into which you plan to place
yourself irrevocably. Yes, that's the ticket.

What a twit!

This coming from a guy that says everybody in a newsgroup has no
experience, and he is the only person who does. Sounds like you need
something to deal with your insecurity. Hey maybe I should just ride
over on your boat, since it's the only one that can do it.

And I do know something about it. I've been on boats for over 30
years now, probably longer than you. Reading the weather, isn't about
chance. But I bet you think hurricanes form instantly. WAKE UP!

Maybe you should just pull your head out of your arse! And I wouldn't let
your like anywhere near my boat. You are an accident waiting to happen.

And I bet you think your little old, let's see if I can guess it right,
Hunter 33? can outrun a hurricane. Good luck! I don't think you have any
idea of the distances or time involved.
