a bunch of people are told about it. And if it happens to be a bumbling
idiotic and dangerous effort so much the better. And the telling of what
used to be something to be embarrassed about has become more important than
the doing of it in a seamanlike manner.

It's pathetic.

Sure beats the Capt. Skippy dog and pony show, "Queen for a Day," running
soap opera.

I have no objection to an illustrated diary like yours compiled and archived
after the completion of a voyage. It's sort of a log book expanded. What
Skippy does, on the other hand, is sort of a Cruising World Magazine trip
report where the sole purpose of the trip is to report on it, to embellish
ineptitude, to display a laundry list of cock-ups with nary a "I shoulda, I
coulda or I wish I woulda," in sight.

Even more offensive, I'm afraid, is the handful of wannabes here who act
like a little, fair weather, coastwise jaunt is even worthy of note. If they
choose their role models so carelessly and have as their goals or dreams
something so simple that a boat cast adrift could accomplish it why would
even the likes of Skippy wish to cater to their baseness?
