If the captain would be correct (witch he is not) and would paint a pictures encourage people, show feelings and actual say anything correct with the overtone the love of the sport it would be different .. He is non of that ..
what he is .. bored old guy who try to get some attention .. and that yes hurt people who actually read his stuff
sorry Dad .. I do respect your note , now and before hand but I;m disagree with you an this .. I can be wrong (as many times ) but good old Cap' is just self serving and wrong ..

Have you read any of his other posts? What about the thread on choosing a marina? That certainly is not self serving. His entire web site is devoted to trying to help people and his experiences. Cut the guy some slack. Coming to Sailnet and sharing your experiences and trying to help other people is what this is all about. Like I have said before, my numbers do not agree with his. Still, his premise about making sure you know what you are getting into is right.
I doubt there is a boater alive who did not end up spending more on boating than he had originally planned. Well, at least not a boater whose boat is sea worthy.
