Sway Did Not Lie!!!!!!!

I realize that I have been wrong and apologize to my dear friend Sailaway.

It appears, after all the many posts of Sailaway21, that Sailaway is not a liar. I realize taht many of you will find this hard to believe. I have slept through (sorry, I mean read through) many of his posts too and just shook my head in disbelief.

He has claimed that he has captained ships and sailed in the ocean. He has claimed to have been out of the sight of land. Basically, he says he is the Joshua Slocum of Sailnet. All this time I have found it hard to believe. So I contacted the Coast Guard - and they confirmed it. He has done EVERYTHING he said. They even sent me documented proof in a picture.

So just to set the record straight everyone, here is the pic of Sailaway in his ship crossing the ocean. I think this should settle the debate once and for all. And to Sway, please accept my most humble apologies - and the apologies of everyone on Sailnet that has doubted you...

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.

Joel,

Like all things in life, it is not what is on the outside that counts. It is what is on the inside. And on the inside, he is 100% USDA certified...
