Current Position (as of ): Sorry no position came through tonight. - Mom"


The poor kid! Says in his blog that he has seven video cameras but I guess
he forgot about a sextant and GPS and charts????? Bwaaaaahahahahahahahah!
Apparently he doesn't do dead reckoning either. Boy does he ever have a lot
to learn about voyaging under sail. Looks like an accident waiting to
happen.

He may have a attempted taking a position but with waves as high as
his spreaders, he may not have a ton of confidence in the shots since
the measured angles about the horizon are probably not real
accurate. I would be willing to bet he has at least 2, perhaps 3 GPS
(they are just not that expensive), but I was taught to use GPS as a
confirmation of my other navigation.

If you read "Dove" the story of Robin Lee Graham's circumnavigation
(which he began when he was 16), there were lots of days when he wasnt
able to get star shots.

Take care . . .

Bruce,

Your friend Wilbur's attitude I found to be quite common amongst other
non-achievers when I was building my boat.

"Have you built a boat before?" - answer "No" and others in similar
vein. I quickly discovered that those who had achieved nothing in life
were the 'knockers' who ridiculed loudly. Those that had achieved
something and were content with their own lives and achievements were
the supportive ones.

Have some Christian charity and feel sorry for the poor *******. He is
a bitter aging failure with very negative self esteem. He probably
didn't even know who his father was. And if the whores I have seen on
the streets of Florida when apssing through in transit are typical, no
wonder he envies you who live in the land of the most beutiful
transvestites in the world. This is not a suggestion that you are so
inclined of course.

My God, I feel mean today.

My regards to your wife and the boat project,

Nice to have you back

Peter

Nope, I don;t feel sorry for him one little bit. From all I gather he
owns a yellow trailer sailer that is somewhat larger then Sea Dart,
the boat that Ron Reil and later Tristam Jones sailed for many years.
No reason that he couldn't go sailing, except fear. On the other hand
it is so much easier to sit at home and critique others.

Poor Nealbur,
Now do not fret so much. Getting all flustered is not good for you.

Now calm down.

Change your soiled panties.......... Zac is fine.
His position on Friday was (as of 8:18 pm PT): N23.28 W134.51

According to my caluclations he's sail further than you have in the
last 22 years.

Fred

If you read Zac's blog carefully, you'll see that it's his mother who
doesn't know where he is. Zac probably forgot to send out an OK on the
SPOT. Having it set on tracking would be a lot of batteries on a
circumnavigation. I'm sure Zac knows where he is, on his boat I'm sure
he also knows his position.

I'm even more sure Neal / Wilbur's mother knows exactly where he is, right
downstairs!
