I am getting tired of you, you want people to spoon feed you information and then you question it. Make some type of effort to learn something on your own, like getting out on a boat.
Go out "there" MR. big f'in sailer man. Just go!!!!! if you make it back, you may have intelligent questions. !!!!!!

Bubb,
Here's a link to the story. I also have a link to it - and a very positive take on it in BFS. So I'm certainly not bashing the guy.
Halfway down on page 2, there's this:
"At noon, it looked like the gale was lessening. I left the safety of the cabin, and with two safety harnesses affixed to the windward rail, began to hand steer eastward on a reach with the #4. It was mogul sailing at its best, having to radically bear away to avoid hissing 8-12' breaking crests on the top of 15-30 foot seas."
Of course I don't disagree with your advice!!! It makes perfect sense!! That's why this surprised me when I read it.
Finally, go a little easy on the spoonfeed thing. You certainly don't have to answer my questions if you don't want to. And I'm not trying to intentionally peeve anyone - I'm just presenting a different viewpoint.
And, I'm obviously willing to do some legwork for you in tracking down these stories. I AM doing a lot of research. So it's all good, bubb.
Actually, I'm heading out to the boat in an hour or so. Practicing the good stuff I learn around here.
