Well, then - maybe, just MAYBE...
In Response To: Anyone who's only had one wife and been married long knows ()
Hey Larry,
...if the ultimate priority is keeping a particular Admiral in a continual state of euphoria, one shouldn't attempt to be sailing across oceans in a 36 foot boat to begin with... (grin)
Hell, I've seen countless Admirals who couldn't be kept happy motoring down the ICW and stopping in nice marinas every night, for chrissake...
And, if the fate of your voyage is ultimately gonna be determined by the whims of the "green crew" you invited along for the ride, well... then you're probably gonna wind up getting what you deserve, for making such a poor decision prior to departure, regarding the most critical component of any passage...
best regards,
Jon

- I don't know, Tom...
- I don't get what this couple has to do with those onboard Viewfinder, Jon.
- Consider that for perhaps a good number of sailors...
- Well, aside from the fact that they managed to complete the same passage of 2200 NM...

- LOL!!! Bang on IMHO and don't forget, there were two green crew onboared that wanted off before the rudder fell off.

- Pass on your only likely rescue, take four lives, and attempt to sail across the Atlantic, with no rudder?
