Travis McGee sails and you're beating on him for his knowledge. Do you sail? Have you read any sailing forums?
If Abby had been lost at sea, many of the sailors now complaining would be happy. Their thesis based on experience would have proved at the cost of her life.
What is their motive? Well, I’m guessing for many it is envy.
Envy of the outcome: envy that she took the chance and didn’t end up dead.
I posted this on another Abbbey16 thread, time to repost it.
“Skimming through these replies, I just have to shake my head and laugh. As one of maybe the only ones on this forum to make long solo ocean voyages, the level of knowledge in this discourse is about on par with life-long cloistered nuns discussing the nitty-gritty details of the lives and careers of prostitutes, jockeys or NFL linebackers. There’s no point in even commenting. The cloistered nuns wouldn’t understand a word I said, no matter what I said. But they’d still be just positive they knew all about prostitutes, jockeys, NFL linebackers and ocean sailors. All I can do is chuckle at the inanity.”
