Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Monkey Man,

I believe that was a very early posting on this thread by Atoll, before other shortcomings by the Rebel Heart crew were revealed by their blog history, and the "lurking" behavior which...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

We're definitely on the same page regarding boat prep. 'tis better to border on paranoia and assume everything might or will fail when SHTF, than to just go out and "wing it." 'Even wear the same...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

No. If the boat is sound and you simply "bit off more than you can chew" and find yourself uncomfortable... that's not good enough. Actual medical emergency, out of food and water or the boat is...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

People only pay to see movies or read books about success stories, heroes and overcoming adversity. Failure does not sell... Just ask the Donald Crowhurst family.

Fiction on the other hand.......

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Yes.... I also find it very bizarre and.... curious. :confused: I'm also wondering if the family had second thoughts about the adventure a couple of weeks out.

I shortened your quote.

I think your plan is a good one, err on the side of caution is what I take from it. One thing you should/might add for additional safety and/or comfort would be to add 1-2...

Nearly every time I've logging into the CF forum over the past week, I couldn't help noticing that Rebel Heart was logged on reading all the posts related to the topic. Wouldn't it be delightful if...

The RH was depending on electric power produced by the motor to charge the batteries for the electronics including the auto pilot. He also blew out his drifter sail the first time he set it. I...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Mark,

By Eric's own admission on his blog, he states that the longest family passage they'd done prior to their 3000 mile attempt was four days in protected waters. I'm certainly no world...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

Re: Rebel Heart's contribution to the cruising community

Re: Rebel Heart's contribution to the cruising community

These examples, dirty diapers washed with cold water in the galley sink, cutting up the primary fuel tank etc. Were taken right from the Kaufman's blogs. Truly Mind boggling stuff.

Re: Rebel Heart's contribution to the cruising community
