What I am truly reading in replies here is ENVY, plain and simple against a younger couple who took the leap based on a dream.

Quote:

As a probable younger guy on the board I take direct insult from the trash that is coming out of this posts

Quote:

the post was written as something known as tongue and cheek

Did not see any tongue and cheek in accusing others of being envious, or of calling their post's trash.

Quote:

if you choose to take it as a personal attack then I would suggest you re-read the post.

Personal attack?
Nah, just did not know who ya were talking to: It may help to specify unless ya are talking to the entire group.

Yeah OK OK, all. Lets drop this. It has gone no more than round in circles ever since the first few posts in this 400+ thread. As I have satedt many times within those 400+ threads, I truely truely believe no one can take a fair assumption of a posters intentions within any of those 400+ posts. It is just toooo huge and complex and varied in their and no one can read all of those posts with entire accuracy.

Chris, not hitting at you mate, but if I may use your post, it was a clear example of how something can be written in one sense by the author and taken in a completely different sense by the reader. OK, so maybe there are a few views in that thread that are "strong personal opinions" made by some, and they do have a right to make those opinions as long as they fit our rules, but I believe many of the threads have been taken out of context as to what the author was trying to truly imply.

Damn i was about to say something profound but looks like the ships left the slip...sorry couldn't help myself.

I will wrap this up quick. I do feel as though there is an air not of envy but maybe of resentment. This can only be expected when a whole community based on tradition and knowledge sees someone doing what they have worked so hard to do with no respect for tradition and no knowlege of the craft.

But really what better way is there to learn?

Greetings and Salutations

I arrived here via a link from the Bumfuzzle logs, so, I can start right off saying I am a fan of theirs.

I may have read about half the posts in this tread, and by now, as you know, it is impossible to require reading of all the pages (is not just long, but repetitive).

Zero Sailing experience and barely 3 or 4 day cruises in a 28 foot motorboat of a friend.

IF there is such a thing as a typical cruiser, clearly Pat and Ali are not on that list. But, remember, that is IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A TYPICAL CRUISER.

My biggest admiration to Pat and Ali is for their willingness and interest in knowing and meeting locals. For all those whinnings about their pursuit of Pizza, I also clearly remember their experience drinking coffee filtered with the hair of a cow's tail...

Their love and memories for Erithrea and it's people makes me admire their brand of tourism.

I wonder how much longer than their circunavigation will this tread go.

Good for them. Gotta admire people that carry on even when things do not go so well. We bought them a pizza.

Wishing P&A smooth sailing across the Atlantic.

They’re charming & entertaining half-witted idiots.

I appreciate a self-depreciating sense of humour, and a well-turned phrase.
I don’t appreciate idiocy & foolishness.
The poll doesn’t provide an approximative choice, for me.
