This guy's great grandmother has been bickering back and forth with me via posts on another forum about how David only needs "soul" to make this wonderous voyage a reality.

I donated a dollar to his cause and only asked that he send me a case of rum from Cane Garden Bay in return. Hopefully he doesn't decide to take my money and "do the Europe-by-hostel-and-train thing".

This one has what the U.S. Coast Guard terms "Manifestly Unsafe Voyage" written all over it.

But I sent him a check anyway, in consideration of which I asked only for salvage rights....

Joking aside, I wish him the best of luck.

The one whos "Architects" quit because they realised he was crafting a one way ticket the sea floor at the bottom of the boat ramp? Yep, thats the guy.

He said he really wants to travel the beautiful coast of Portugal and out sail every boat there in the most humiliating fashion.

Now look here,
This guy might be as nutty as a squirrel turd, but I really do have to give him props for giving it a shot.
His set is a heck of a lot bigger than mine, I'll give ya that.
I'm not going to bang on anybodys dream.

Same thing for Stowe and that little chicklet he's got with him.
Go nuts buddy, give it a go, If you make it, its a hip, hip hoo-ray, if you don't its an aw-*hite, and "when you gunna give it another try, eh? "

You just like the fact Reid has a chicklet and if this whatever hulled guy manages to con a chick - you'd vote there too... I am with you - lesbians rock
