October, she can beat that. Perhaps ABC, CBS, MSNBC etc can pool up

A 16-year-old California girl who is adrift on her damaged yacht in
the Indian Ocean will probably give up on her dream of sailing around
the world alone.

Jeff Casher, the spokesman for Abby Sunderland's family, said Friday
the teen's boat is severely damaged and might be sunk at sea instead
of being towed ashore and salvaged.

Rescuers are en route to her location and hope to reach her between
midnight and 12:30 a.m. PT on Saturday.

On Wednesday, Sunderland wrote a blog entry about the rough weather,
saying "Wild Eyes was rolling around like crazy" in the huge seas and
she triggered her emergency beacons.

Searchers aboard a Qantas Airbus A330 spotted the teen's boat and
made
contact with her via radio about 20 hours later, family spokesman
William Bennett said.

Sunderland had set sail from Los Angeles County's Marina del Rey on
Jan. 23 in an attempt to become the youngest person to sail around
the
world alone without stopping. Her brother Zac briefly held the record
at age 17.

Sure.... keep tossing her out there until she is killed.
Or, if she does set the record, you can send a thirteen year old to
beat
it next year.

I think that should be her choice. Not yours or mine, but I hope she
does not give up for some noisy nosey snot.

That being said, she is a good example of why kids, even the 30 or 40
year old variety are losers. They expect life to hit them, instead of
going out and living it. This girl has more on the ball than many 4
times her age. She should go for it.

Far too many like de-fumer let life pass them by. Makes them needy,
greedy and pathetic actually. This girl will be a winner in any
circle. And behaved much better in this circumstance than most
pathetic types would. I can see de-fumer for example, panic driven
just screw up.

My grandparents let me take a power boat out at 7. Teach the kids to
be responsible and let them grow with it. Then perhaps maybe they will
not just be slugs hanging out at the mall waiting for old ladies to
drop a fiver.

I can relate to this. She at least needs to get out an sale in the
next few weeks, shake it off and continue...

You're a moron. I mean this is so obvious. It's gotta hurt your head.


Nope, I could post a message that was out of your gutter snipe
character, your problem not mine.

Sober up, it will make sense.

Let's get EM to do it.


Certainly you and Nucknuck are incapable. Oh, I was talking about
sailing....


So was I. You Up for it?


Up for what... sailing around the world by myself? Not a chance.


That is because you are weak, fat and lethargic?

I would if I had the time and money.

Why don't you have the money? It's not that expensive to buy a decent
boat, esp. these days. You certainly have the time, since you're
unemployed. Oh wait, now I know why you don't have the money. Never mind.


I will when I figure out the lake it will be on. Sort of ass backwards
to buy a boat then figure out which waterway it will be on. But a dream
boat in Calgary is a waste of money. What am I going to do with it?
Float in in a sea of barley? Pull your head out of your arse and plug
your brain in for once.

Up to 1600 lbs, LMAO.

So you're just going to sit there in your cabin with your cat.
Booring!


No skill nor desire to sail in the southern ocean. Do you? When are you
leaving, because it would _demand_ a party!


I've owned 3 sailboats and enjoyed the hell out of the experiences .But,
I got sailing out of my system 30 years ago and have no desire to sail
again.


Why? Or, rather what got the sailing out of your system? Was it the
experience itself or was it the drudge part... maintenance, etc.?

Also, if you got it out of your system, why are you posting on rec.boats?



If you were a real lawyer you wouldn't come to such a dumb ass conclusion.


Are you saying that non sailors shouldn't post to rec.boats?


You and your buddies have said that about me, and I'm actually a sailor.

Rag hangers are a "minority" of boaters. I suppose that makes me racist
according to you,eh?


No. It makes you an imbecile.

Why are you trying to make a boating news group into your personal
political sounding board?


Why are you a stalker/racist?

If she wants to go for it thats fine, but even if she doesn't she's
