Question:
One thing for certain, if you get a BIGger globe you can do your great
circles with more precision. If you can't fit the whole globe into your
BIG boat (that gives you lots of experience) just cut out the section
you'll be sailing on.
So you must have done well in the stock market or been part of a .com
to have recently purchased a BIG boat. Are you certain that it is BIG
enough? Are you sure enough experience came with the boat? You past
employment effort has probably seriously softened your body and mental
conditioning. What are you doing to reach a state of hardiness required
by your upcoming journey? (Installing an on board air conditioner? Foam
padded galley or toilet seat?)
Answer:
I do need a bucket in order to have a handy place to puke
after reading your idle boasts and ignorant choice of boats.
A 44-foot Cross Roomaran is a pathetic ocean going vessel.
Only a fool would take such a hazard on a voluntary ocean
voyage of any type.
I do understand why you single-handed the abortion, however.
Couldn't find a single other soul stupid enough to join you,
could you?
I dare you to come into my harbor and run your generator for
your air conditioning after the sun has set. I guarantee the
sun will rise on your sunken boat.
BTW: the Kitty Hawk (CV-63) [commissioned in 1961] was "in country" when I was
in the Brown Water Navy. Of course in those days it was designated as an
"attack" carrier - a status she lost in '76.
Fine ship, fine crew, fine history.
But I believe they usually left the OOD watches to the junior officers to keep
them out of the way of the real sailors on board.
