Re: what a mess: zenamaran
For what it is worth...
Zen, is a friend of mine. He knows about the things Eric had posted about him after he lost his boat (due to a series of mechanical failures).
Zen has posted on another forum to offer encouragement and consolation to Erick and his family on their loss. He is a real "Sailor" and takes no joy in the sufferingings of others.
I think that we have much to learn as a community from men like these.
May we all be kind, and respectful of the dreams others follow, be it to success or to setback.
Blessings and fair winds to all.

I suppose that makes sense. If you want to make snarky comments best to use a throwaway identity.

Re: what a mess: zenamaran
I saw the post, too. 
No animosity, and hopes for the best.

Atoll was also the first one to try to mount a rescue for the Rebel Heart, without holding any grudges against Eric's comments.
That is a man with a lot of class!

Re: what a mess: zenamaran
Carol Anne and I had visited the Zenamaran in the harbor before she departed from Alameda after much thought and planning. Fuu is living an adventure overseas now and got to go for a sail in the "Black Current" just recently.

And to be honest now there's a boat (probably) floating around out there unmanned, unlight, with a bad radar signature just waiting to wind up on a beach or get hit. Nevermind the inconvenience to the merchant ship or possible rescue coordination that would have had to pull him out of there.
