Smack....Thanks for posting Drake....I think you did a great job. In handling the situation. And in being open enough to share the good and bad. It would be easy to have skipped your screw-ups...

Unfortunately that is not the full range of things than can wrong by a large margin - just a particular subset. He could have lost the engine had the autopilit decided to go on holiday, etc. It does...

I always catch crap for this - but I honestly don't think it's possible to really "be prepared" - in the true meaning of the word - before setting off. I don't care how good of a sailor you are,...

RedtheBear liked post by travlineasy On thread : no discharge zones

The amazing thing about all this is that in Maryland, sewage spills less than 10,000-gallons do not have to be reported. Yep, you would be amazed at how many 9,999-gallon spills take place throughout...

I'm a bit dissapointed in Sailnet in how quickly this thread went negative and downright nasty. This place isn't Sailing/Cruising Anarchy...and I wouldn't be here if it was or becomes like that...
