Johnny, I have been sailing for over 40 years. I have singlehanded my boat across the Atlantic and to Bermuda. Have you? I have sailed in the Annapolis to Newport and the Annapolis to Bermuda races several times. I cruised for a year with my wife and daughter. I understand the difference probably more than you will ever know. But you are clearly a dork dude. What gives you the right to lecture people? Here is how you can fix that. Go out this weekend and push yourself a bit. Take that set of stones you seem to have lost and snap them back in place. Nothing dangerous just try to remember what sailing is all about. It's about having fun and exploring your human limits. In your case, I suggest 7-knots would be about right.
As for the poor chap who lost his life this weekend. He was an experienced sailor who died in a very unfortunate circumstance. We don't know what happened yet because they have not recovered his body. Be careful about criticizing him. He was a well known and popular figure in these parts.
Adminstrator: Yes, that was quite a blow-out. My parents live up the Tred Avon and could not get their sailboat out either. He spent the afternoon by the pool with my Mom drinking Rum and Tonics.
