| Did I miss something?
Did I criticize them for launching off on a new adventure, or deciding - what, during a pizza lunch? - to sail around the world? No criticism on that decision from me, and more power to them...but it comes at a price.
What a waste to see the world thru a fast food lens and have so little desire to understand the cultures thru which they march. The courage to go, the stamina to 'stay gone'...but sitting in the concert hall and finding themselves tone-deaf.
BTW we had the air sucked out of us when our new Pacific Seacraft, after 3 months, offered its gelcoat to us in long streamers, with a resin-starved lay-up on display behind it and a builder who could have cared less. I have truly walked in Ali & Pat's shoes. I also went after the builder in the same way they are choosing to do, but first on the sly and with the threat hanging over their heads prior to an Annapolis Boat Show - which is the only thing that motivated PS to help address the issue. As I stated above, I applaud them for hanging the dirty laundry out to dry - it serves as a public service. But are their circumstances amplified by their ignorance? Do they have unrealistic expectations re: a builder that, after all, didn't sell them a boat? I'd say so.
