Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

You are absolutely correct.

Unfortunately, it's human nature and it's pretty common on websites where people are passionate about their hobbies or lifestyles.

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

I don't think integrity is the correct word for that. I'm sure Eric does have integrity, but requesting donations be sent to another charity is not a sign of integrity. If he had been donating to...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

I've seen a few comments on here about sailing or cruising getting unwanted attention leading to it coming under fire or getting legislated to death. Maybe I'm naive, but I see sailing as one of the...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

Don't be too hard on yourself. It's hard enough for people to agree on just about anything, to get everyone to hate you at the same time is nearly impossible! LOL

In all seriousness, I always...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

I agree with everything you said except for Ballast Pt., the sub base. When I was stationed there and AFAIK, the only surface ships that pulled in there were sub tenders, the Dixon and McKee, both...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

I've said it before, and I'll say it a million times.

Please don't ever let anyone else stifle you, discourage you, change your life or alter your course. Your actions, your blog, could very well...

Re: Forum Member's Boat and Daughter in Trouble off of Mexico

I agree.

There are many differing opinions, and much to discuss. So many facts, and facets to be revealed, and lessons for us to learn. IMHO, posts should be appropriate for the events at the...

I'm positive you completely misunderstood what he posted. Your interpretation is 180* from what he said/meant.

Ex Bubble Head here, too!

There is a donation fund setup for them, I think it's listed back on page 31 or so. The money goes directly into their Paypal account, so it's going to the right people....

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

I would strongly urge you to reconsider. Your blog may very well inspire other like minded people to do as you did.

Be who you are, be confident in your decisions and abilities, and pay no...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

Absolutely right. Even long after, when they are good and ready to post, it doesn't need to be rehashed over and over. Once they've posted what they want to post, hopefully people will read it and...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

What better way to allow them the time to consider all of their options than by giving them money? This way they don't have to worry about petty things like daily expenses, or taking a job just to...

that's a rant that would raise my blood pressure 50 points, at least! I just take it with a grain of salt. They don't even pretend to try to get the facts straight, and they slant...

All of our thoughts and best wishes are with them.

I'm looking at this from a practical perspective. They've just suffered a huge setback, and there are still expenses on a daily basis, even just...

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

I certainly hope no one is planning on bothering them, that would be extremely rude.

I'm kind of perplexed at the certaintly that you are posting their wishes. I'm not sure where you got your...

Wow, sounds ominous.

If I can make you laugh, do I get a prize?

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

I read a little bit on that site, they charge 5%, plus 2.9% payment fee, plus 30 cents per transaction. It adds up after a while.

My friends and I have done a few fundraisers using Paypal. We...

It's legit. I just donated. The funds go straight to an account named Charlotte Kaufman.

Do you want the Oz Lotto numbers, or the American Powerball numbers?

Re: Forum Member's boat and daughter in trouble off of Mexico

Who was being negative? I simply asked for clarification.

I agree with you, it probably is a lot easier to find a job if you're bright, articulate and not covered in piercings.
