I'm squarely in the "This is nut...Oh, I don't know. I'm squarely in the "This is nuts but god bless 'em for trying, and I'd truly love it if they pull it off" school. And my tongue was firmly in cheek when I started <A HREF="http://frogma.blogspot.com/2007/04/spring-spruce-up-2.html" REL="nofollow">The Ballad of the Schooner Anne"</A> - which should have gone on for about 47 more verses, enough to make everyone in the pub pray for the singer to come down with spontaneous & permanent laryngitis...<BR/><BR/>But the sailing anarchy thread is just so appalling, it's hard to look past that & admit to being entertained by things like the wheat berry question. Having that many people so obsessively focused on taking a collective dump on Reid & Soanya in every way & venue they can figure out has just taken all the fun out of it.<BR/><BR/>I also do actually care about them personally as they were part of the wonderfully odd cast of characters at the old Pier 63. The Anne scene was a little too new-agey for me to want to get very involved, I'm not into that stuff myself, but the people who were involved were so excited about being part of it, it was just fun to watch 'em, and it was all part of the atmosphere at a place I loved that's now pretty much gone. <BR/><BR/>I'd be a lot more convinced that the SA crew was actually concerned about Soanya's well being if so many of the comments didn't include lines like "yeast infection - wait 'til her forties get roaring" - that no one else ever seems to have any problems with, probably because they are all too delighted with their game. <BR/><BR/>Sorry. Venting. That thread is a really good sample of my least favorite aspect of the internet - the feeling that somehow it's OK to just anonymously rip people to shreds for yuck.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105989.post-29591293128655497402007-10-01T10:06:00.000-07:002007-10-01T10:06:00.000-07:00OK, I see I'm somewhere in between the SA vitriol ...OK, I see I'm somewhere in between the SA vitriol and my readers' love for the Reidster.

When "it" hits the fan, it's important that everyone follows the skipper's orders, know how to operate the radio, etc. It also helps, on windier days, if there's at least one other sailor with some experience, in case of MOB.<BR/><BR/>I've have to peruse the SA thread when I need the stress-relief.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105989.post-40704436807982096812007-09-28T21:06:00.000-07:002007-09-28T21:06:00.000-07:00Trying again.

I liked the symmetry of 1000 posts on a 1000 days at sea thread. The moment is gone, alas. <BR/><BR/>I'm just blown away but the sheer hours of their lives that the sailing anarchists have now donated, devoted, yea tithed to this guy they hate so much. 1200 posts, and now a spoof blog...is it possible that ridicule of that intensity could almost be looked upon as homage?<BR/><BR/>I mean - he's clearly inspired them. Right? <BR/><BR/>:D <BR/><BR/>Hey, have I got a Friday fish for you: http://picasaweb.google.com/SebagoCanoeClub/Random/photo#5059709576221887250bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.com
