Mi,
This thread was already 1-1/2 years into it before you even registered.


Not so strange if you have been following along.


If you ask me, this girl is a typical free bird; young and crazy, willing to try anything. Live off the land and the sea type of character. If she had been born in the sixties she would have been a hippie and living on a commune (or a boat).


I still think what she is doing is crazy, but that’s who she is and we can't tell her what to do. If we try, she is not going to listen. She seems to be the type of person that has to figure stuff out on her own.

They are clearly inexperienced at fishing and got excited as many do. It seems an american thing to kill or stun a fish by pouring alcohol on the gills. Probably as they are unfamiliar with iki sticks. Whether or not it is meant to be methyl alcohol I don't know. I suspect not but the confusion is understandable.
I have heard similar language from a highly ranked politician when catching fish. Perhaps he needed to release a lot of frustration from maintaining a very proper public face.
Sure the video needed editing but it captures the excitement of novices catching a fish.
The young woman had a tough start to life, and I think it does little credit to those who are so quick to attack her.

I'm probably guilty of fanning this fire. To be honest didn't for a moment thing that our favourite pet owner would actually be looking in on SailNet but there you go. You'd have to admit though, when people put there lives up on a public forum, open to any and everybody, how on earth do they get off complaining when other people then have a look ? Stalking ? Only if messages and comments that are way out of order are being posted to the site.

Nonetheless, my comments were insensitive. I apologise for making them. Quite frankly one of the other mods should have expressed disapproval. They didn't , but I am guilty of personal abuse particularly as this is not an OT thread.

Language in the videos and all that carry on is nothing you wouldn't hear on any fishing boat so lets face it that's really no big deal. Sounds somewhat sterotypical good ol' boy but such it is. I'm not at all sure I approve of the manner they went about the fishing but compared to shooting harpoons at whales I'd think it pretty minor.

Have to admit though....those dogs sure don't look as if they are suffering. I still don't like dogs on board but to each his own.

Hopefully this die down again , and soon. Otherwise CD will have to take me outside and give me a good talking to. If it doesn't , or if it gets out of hand then either the thread will be locked or moved to OT.

Hey DS, serious question here...now that you've done it what would you tell yourself on that first post now? After all the opinionated spew over the past year...I'd actually rather hear it from you now that you have the actual experience.

PS - Is the surfing in Chile all that?

Smack, that truly is a serious and, may I add thoughtful question. I must say, you do have panache and style.
