Who is Cruising Dad?

[sailortjk1]

So get this.
I go to a local Boat Show, The Michigan City in water show. I know the Catalina dealers from my area, so naturally I strike up conversation with them.
I ask my friend if he knows the "Cataliana 400 technical editor?" I say, "the guy writes for your Mainsheet Publication. Name of Brian, aka Cruising Dad."

Well they all kinda look at each other scrtching their heads and say, "Brian who? Never heard of him."

"Thats what I thought," I said.

Hey Dad, the gig is up. Time for you to confess. Who really is Cruising Dad?

Site looks like a forgery to me.

So "Brian" - if indeed that is your REAL name... Are you perhaps a second sign-on for one... "Sailaway21" His alter ego? I always knew there was something not right about the overly enthusiastic support for "Catalina Yachts"...

'fess up!

What with his apparent deranged mental state I would say he made it all up.

He's really SurfEsq!

All I know is I wish he would quit sending me those emails saying he is a lawyer from Sri Lanka and he need help transfering $300,000,000. If I just give him my account # will transfer the money to my account, blah, blah, blah...

BTW- Isn't a "Technical Editor" for any Catalina kind of an oxymoron?

Was thinking the same thing. Aren't they just like a big sunfish? Not much a technical editor can do with that. Maybe that's why he has so much free time on his hands.
