Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

That may well be the worst book I ever read.

I was lulled into it by the average 4 star rating on Amazon. How it achieved that rating is beyond me. All I can guess is that all of their friends...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

...and suddenly, on page 37 of the second thread, it became OK to talk about Rebel Heart.

I don't think the story or the opinions are going to change much, even after Eric adds his perspective.

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

The basic story about Rebel Heart is very well established and documented. It's not all hearsay and conjecture, although there is plenty of that, too.

No doubt there are inaccuracies. Even if...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

More like swatting cheeky monkeys.

There are a few outstanding questions, but none that change the basic chain of events or the outcome, which are fairly-well established.

To insist that we...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

I think we know about 90%, and we'll only ever know 95%. Every narrative is going to come flavored by perspective. Charlotte's perspective, rescuer's perspective, Eric's perspective, Cruiser...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Did I deserve that response? Do any of us? I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure I didn't say ANY of that, and that the click you heard was in your own head.

Stop trying to censor/distort the...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Excellent example.

I didn't say the cost was an issue. In fact, I specifically said that it wasn't an issue.

I just said that we don't have to pretend it was free to believe that it was a good...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

You being active duty on a salary isn't proof that the Rebel Heart rescue was free. Sorry, but it's a fallacy. Even if you're on a salary, you are a cost. If you're plucking a sailor out of the...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Sorry, but using the fact that the government spends money to make the claim that any money spent isn't being taken from some worthwhile project isn't correct.

If you spend money on one thing,...

It seems to me we know about 95% of what happened. There are a few niggling details I'd be curious about, like what communication systems...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

The people who rescued Rebel Heart's crew are professionals. What would it serve to go 1400 miles to rescue people, and then throw your traumatized victims to the wolves in the media in the...
