Wilbur Hubbard I hope this does not upset you too much.. http://www.wareing77.plus.com/Lymington%20trip/ 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?
