Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

For the record I hold a very high regard for MarkJ and his opinions, although it might not seem like it and I would understand it if he found me annoying sometimes. I also don't dispute any of his...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Well how about our Mexican neighbors then? I am only going off what the man said. He said they rarely rescued Americans so they must be rescuing someone. Or maybe the man doesn't know what he is...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community
