Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Of course, Moitessier lost more than one boat (three was it?), including Joshua. So, there is that.

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

I took one on a trip a few years ago and it turned out to be a real life-saver (well, metaphorically speaking, anyway). I'd not hesitate if it weren't for the gas-powered part. It'd be nice to...

Prosaic. Exactly.

Which goes to my point: I find it difficult to imagine that he was calculating the response here on CF before deciding how to respond to his kid's illness. And frankly, I think...

Talking Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Something tells me the thought process was probably a bit more prosaic.

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Judging from a quick search of the archives under "autopilot failure" as well as my own experience, I would disagree. Autopilot failures are not uncommon and further they are not easy to fix without...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Agreed. I guess where I have trouble (and this does not apply to RH, just to be clear) is when folks fail to prepare because they think the technology is gonna save 'em. Suddenly when the...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Apples and oranges. The Bumfuzzles reveled in their ignorance and virtually promoted it as a cruising alternative. Sorry, I just don't buy that comparison.

Re: Rebel Heart's contribution to the cruising community

Obviously, you entirely missed my point about the Bumfuzzles. Their attitude was blase, as you say. And, they seem to have launched a few imitators that might not be as lucky. Enough said on that.

Re: Rebel Heart's contribution to the cruising community

True, perhaps. I have been in a total t*ts-up situation, but luckily only me and an experienced delivery skipper. Parents do plenty of more risky things with kids on terra firma, and for the most...

Re: Rebel Heart's contribution to the cruising community

This is not a full-throated defense, just pointing out for the sake of discussion:

What if the older kid had been the one to get sick? Or, if it had been a 12-year-old? The outcome would have...

I, for one, took pains to show balance in the short piece I wrote for NPR.

Re: Rebel Heart's contribution to the cruising community
