Challenge: Youngest Goat to Circumnavigate?

[Pelagic]

Amazing how quickly Hollywood has picked up on your idea DOJ

As usual they have screwed it up, but I do see some anti-piracy value in marketing G.O.B. stickers to the other 2 legged cruisers

Priceless. It passed the "beer spray" test.

Goat Bouy. Listen, I'm really worried about his single-hoofing. He cant possibly keep a legal watch schedule. I can send him a copy of the COLREGS, if he'll promise not to eat it...

Its not humane in fact utterly goatesque.
Not only has this goat never singled hoofed a boat the goat has zero sea time. The goat will not be mature enough to handle the stresses of solitude and the dangers that abound. I am forming a non profit to stop this expedition. If you would like to help by contributing money I promise I wll use the donations for expenses to stop this silliness. Of course I have just quit my job so I can put all my efforts into this and as such will recieve a modest salary. Please visit my web page as soon as I have got it going at www. stopthe goat.com

I disagree. Who are we to decide what's best for this goat? These decisions should be left to the goats family. They know best. DOJ, have you any feedback from the family?

The family are fully onboard. and have contributed immensely. Indeed, I can honestly say that the settee cushions could not have been recovered without them

The Goat now being an orphan was a strategic Sponsorship driven decision. Which I feel shows a larger than normal degree of commitment to the Project.

But the concerns raised about the Goat's welfare and emotional development are accepted as valid, hence we are now looking for a Goat Counsellor. Unfortunately rather short on the ground in these parts, the closest we have come up with are a couple of Horse Whisperers, but to be honest they are not making very supportive noises about the whole Goatsailor Project. Indeed, I would go so far as to describe them as neighsayers

I have to ask, DOJ, was this young goat reared by you?

This really gets my goat! These Neigh-sayers no nothing of all the preparation and dedication involved in this endeavor. I happen to be a dock mate of Goat Bouy, and I think he's more than ready... this kid is the real deal! To all those who think he's bitten off more than he can chew...Goat Bouy RULES!!!

goatdamn u DOJ...another 'clean the sprayed coffee of the keyboard session'

[Don Lucas]

this is starting to really get my goat, think I'm to have to sheep it off

[dana-tenacity]

On a similar theme, I always wanted to sail the Vendee Globe. I was thinking it would be easier to get sponsorship if my proposal was in some way "different".

I was thinkijng that part of the sponsorship deal could be a sex change operation, then I could be the first trans gendered person to sail RTW single handed (unless someone already has that record?). Just think of the press opportunities for the sponsor,

All interested parties can contact me by email.

But wait: without opposable thumbs, how can the goat reliably work the catapult?

[READY2GO]

DOJ,
Uh, what is this goats birthday? I have a couple of goats just two months old. We might be able to beat you.

Ummmm actully it looks like its only 4 Zigs and 3 Zags!

Smart Nav, Goat
