Have just read Ried and Soanya's report as I do every day, after 305 days Soanya is leaving ship and heading back to New York, mainly due to sea sickness. Being new to sailing I am wondering if its a safe venture for him to continue, mainly due to the size of the vessel, and other issues.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

I made this post with the thought that something of concern for the chaps welfare or those who might have to rescue him, but as I was told there was another thread going under a very unrelated title one I would never have dreamed of. But as I read it I wasn't surprised, to read the comments, all but, how things were going for them. Guess my concerns are missed placed, as never thought there could be nothing other then a fulfiled adventure at hand

He's actually 108, but he was born on February 29, so he's technically only had 27 birthdays.

Art - you need to really check out the SA thread on this -

http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/ind...howtopic=52463

To really get the gist of what all actually entails this adventure...

To summarize:

1. Drug Runner
2. Bailed on child support
3. Swindled funds
4. Conned poor 23 yr maiden to go (hence no the real relief - she is getting off)
5. Hit a cargo ship in the middle of no where
6. Has more cheese onboard than ballast...

None the less check out the thread link above... As for your original question (sorry - AFOC comment it will happen again)..Can he do it? He was dfoing it solo all along she was too weak and nutrition deprived to be any real help ... Is it safe? The boat is not in my opinion - but it made it further than the tin can...Mentally will he be able to make it - 2 more years to go talking to himself and not ever hitting shore... I would err on the side lack of nutrition - he will wig out...But he does have team on shore...hopefully when it all happens they have the sense to pull him in as they did Sonja....
