I recently met Pat and Ali while they were in Melbourne, and after reading this message board am completely shocked by some of the things that have been said.
First off is the guy who implied that Pat and Ali are traipsing around the world on daddy's money while he had to work on a fishing boat for 7 years. Do you have any idea what Ali and Pat did for a living? Believe me, it's not daddy's money.
Next is Alan Wheeler's implication that Ali should get off the boat immediately because she isn't safe. Seems to me that Ali and Pat are equals in this journey. So why do you seem to be saying that Ali can't handle the boat by herself? Maybe treating your wife that way is the reason you are still sitting at the dock.
And the most recent post by the guy on the Lagoon 570. Are you seriously trying to compare your little trip to South America with the trip that Ali and Pat have taken on their 35 foot cat? How many crew do you have on that boat anyway?
Give me a break people. Read Ali and Pat's latest update and maybe you will finally understand that they have more sailing experience than 99% of you in here, and they have every right to be out there.
I can't wait to follow them the rest of the way around the world!
