Haha, fair point. Hand steering in the trades i like to face astern watching the swell (and I leave the ensign up at sea for wind direction) so I can react to what is heading at me before it arrives.

Plus that keeps me in the shade of the bimini.

People in the cruising community have all sorts of different experience and comfort levels. Some travel 5-6k every year, others spend all their time tied on a mooring ball or dock and never go anywhere. It takes all types. People should find out what kind of "sailor" they really are and learn to accept it. Move on, or not...as the case may be.


Yes, and with social media anyone can track your 2 years of cruising experience motoring up and down the east coast ICW.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. As you say we all have different levels of experience.

Re: Youtube liveaboard stars?

If it makes you happy continually sniping at every single post I make here on "cruisers" forums while white-knuckling that mooring ball at BKH the rest of your old man's life then just go ahead. I've had better men than you try to hurt my feelings. It's no sweat off my sack watching your lame and continual attempts.

Well hasn't this turned into an interesting thread! I'm so grateful that we have the old salts that know all there is to know descending from their place on high to share wisdom. I tug my forelock.

I don't think 10:1 is excessive for chain and rode in a storm, although here in Mindelo, Cape Verde, where the gusts are always in the 40's and the holding is not great, I never need more than 7:1.

Nothing nowadays. Remember you need to get to a 1000 subs before you can get paid.

You're just trying to discourage competition!


I have tons of ideas that have never been done before. Here is just one.

You could do a show about people who sail to a bunch of countries that wont let them in due to virus concerns.

Or a show about people who can't anchor, drifting endlessly without sleep, because Kim Jong Un sets off an EMP (electro magnetic pulse) and none of their gadgets work anymore.

People who can't anchor? You mean like literally half of all sailors?
Probably a higher percentage of "marina cruisers"
