Gould's Position on LRC Vessels

A bit surprised you'd like to see incompetent lying charlatans go to jail. Thought you might have some sort of fraternal affinity for them...birds of a feather, or some such, don't you know. BTW, care to quantify your earlier position that one *must* have a $500,000 Nordhavn or better to safely and comfortably cruise Alaska to the Cortez and back? We'd really like to see you detail why vessels selling for under $200,000 cannot accomplish that task. And finally, do you think such a voyage is better handled by power or sail? -- Skipper Poor Psuedo. As soon as the discussion of current events seems not to be going his way, he changes the header on the thread and takes up an unwarranted personal attack. Accomplished seapersons can cruise around the world in a walnut shell, Psuedo. Why would *you* need a Krogen, or Nordhavn, or other full displacement deep draft boat for coastal cruising between Cabo and the Gulf of Alaska? Because you lack the knowledge and physical agility to sail, and you probably can't afford the type of vessel you truly belong on- a passenger liner. One has to compare the experience of the skipper with the anticipated voyage to see whether the prospective vessel makes any sense. Sir Francis Chichester sailed around the world in "Gypsy Moth" (14-16 feet?). When a guy from East Outhouse, KS, (with a boating resume that consists primarily of making up stories about trailering a 22-foot Bayliner to the Gulf of California and riding out hurricanes), says he wants to go cruising offshore no responsible person is going to encourage him to do so in a clapped-out old high-hours semi-displacement inland waterways boat- and "Gypsy Moth" is out of the question entirely. You might consider flying all around the world and taking some Carnival or NCL cruises. They even have special venues for seniors. You could get a cabin on the main deck, so your bad knees wouldn't be required to climb stairs as often. Those monster floating hotels are large enough that even an aquaphobic might feel comfortable, and just think of the stories you could tell about your experiences "boating" in the Caribbean, the Med, Polynesia, etc! |
