Once again I've spent a great amount of time to respond with an end result of the post being lost.
In a nutshell. I've sorry for calling GUI a bad name even know I still think it was arrogant to make such a blanket statement. The rum was flowing...
My bad.
Some may think my wife & I cruel and selfish. Others don't... I don't give a damn. As stated before, we have not got to where we are today by placing much weight on comments we feel are stupid or thoughtless. ( So I guess it's CRUEL & SELFISH v STUPID & THOUGHTLESS... Just MY thoughts based on my experience) I do agree that there are those out there that might fall directly into that clasification. We know we don't. In fact, the yacht to us is mainly a place to stay while we are seeing the world for our son's and yes, OUR benefit.
Hell no I didn't think he was attacking me personally. Just thousands of family sailors & cruisers....
I can see how much of a risk financially it may be for some.. Not for us. Please don't take this wrong but we can afford to make an attempt and if we found out it wasn't working for our son, be back in the US in or home without feeling it AT ALL and in a matter of days. And we would. He is #1 for us Dr. Spock. We are through working (in general) and feel very lucky to have had such success but Ive been around long enough to have people I've worked with and know, pass on due to accidents and illness in their 30's and 40's and I'm going to use my time to see the world and share it with my son. I pitty those who could and don't and feel sorry for those who can't.
We are in our mid 40's. We could have left years ago before my wonderful son came around. We are more excited to do it with him (4 when we leave)then alone so for those of you who world feel it a a hellish adventure to travel like that with a child or children, I feel sorry for you... really. I think those with that attitude are missing something grand...
As far as getting lost in the Jungle.... Never. I have a hot head once in a while but more likely would be one invited to stay until I wanted to leave.
Good thread...
