Bill's got guts wearing that black Speedo, but he's my kind of sailor, JUST
LOOK AT THE CABIN! Not many boats at the marina you can drop in and just
plop down and not worry about spotting the custom cushion covers or
spilling your booze on the fine woodwork.

Bill's boat is made for COMFORT!....(c;

Is that tea kettle hot, yet? We'll have a spot, 2 lumps and a little milk,
please.

It's my personal belief that if that's the way that he maintains his
interior, that the rest of the systems are in similar shape. You never say
"Yeah, it's a bit messy. Not to worry, it will all be sorted out...out
there." All that he needs to do is to run into unexpected seas and have
things flying around the cabin, smashing the few working items that he has.
I've known many single-handlers, and most of their boats were a mess. This
guy is on the extreme of those.

Do you think that he checked the weather? No, he left the day (night) that
he was forced to.

This guy might be a sailor, but he doesn't show much seamanship. He's a
disaster waiting to happen.

I bet his breakdown record isn't a bit different than yours...

......per mile traveled....much less.
