I think we can all agree that, cuisine preferences aside, it would be better to sail with Pat and Ali than join seafox in that peculiar hobby....

No after-taste?..

Hi Seafox. What's a heidi hat look like?

[seafox]

Hi Savvy, go to:

http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ead.php?t=5995

there is a photo of one there.

I heard that they are going to be all the trend this year. Go well with Jockey wide fronts. I am going to be selling them on the internet once my patent comes through.

No aftertaste, not like a pizza!!!

[seafox]

gotta love those anchovies though.

Yeah ummm, what Gord said.... I think. It sounds good but I am going to have to sit down with my dictionary and work out what he actually did say.:-0

OK, back to the thread. I really don't give a damn about the Pat and Ali saga. I am not telling anyone off about arguing about them. What I didn't want to see is a flame war begin between board members. Thats all I am worried about. I was worried about CSY and jzk picking up bigger toys to hit each other with. So as long as you boy's play nice now ya here, I'll let it carry on. I don't mind the debate, but as soon as someone spits a dummy, there'll be a wooping I tell ya. So play on but don't go poking an eye out. And if ya come running to me crying, I'll just tell ya I told you so. OK!!

"Still, it's not my Forum and I do not have to spend time being a Mod"

David, I just wanted to make one point to you, and all of the members. This IS your forum. One thing that makes this forum what it is, is the fact that we do not have a "Ruling Body" but a group of admins/mods that work to keep this site what the members want it to be. The issue of closing this thread, or not has been discussed between the admin/mods in almost as much detail as has been contained in the thread itself. If this thread is what the members want, then it stays. As long as the posters continue to treat each other with the respect due any member of this forum.
I would also point out that the concerns, and the warnings posted here by Wheels, or any Admin or Moderator, is the opinion of the forum leadership, and concerns over those decisions should be addressed to all of us accordngly, not just the spokesman. I may be stating the obvious, but reading back over the posts, I feel that point needs to be clear.

Hmmm, I thought that angry mob looked suspicouse. I wasn't sure if it was the pitch forks or the long rope they were carrying, or that glint in their eye with the hollow sinister "hello matey" :-)

I will stay away from this topic from now on.
It gets a bit heated I think, not because a young couple is out there "doing it", but the way they go about it.

Wheels, if it was a rope, nothing to worry about, but if it was a line...

I hear a lot of people saying that what these kids are doing is unsafe. What, in the mind of a more experienced sailor, could these people have done to make their trip safer and less foolhardy? Should they have pursued more sailing experience under the watchful eye of a more experienced skipper, or taken 6 $1,000+ classes. I myself, who am of little experience, would one day like to embark on a jouney like this; if not to circumnavigate then to at least own and live on a boat. What steps could these people have taken to avoid being foolhardy, or at least being called idiots?
