The countdown begins for when the next time the Schooner Anne leaves port, and this SA group of slightly salty sometimes nefarious souls can begin their pitiful cries of woefully false concern for the safety and indeed the very lives of the beloved group aboard. Pip will be sleepless from the first storm that's encountered until they once again set foot upon dry land. RD and his many minions will seek to defame defy decry and declaim daily, while some inject humour into the daily diatribes of those who chose to sit ashore and complain, complain, complain about how right they are, and how wrong anything attempted to be done by Stowe was from the absurd get-go, and how obviously doomed to fail all his plans and ocean crossings have been from the first.

Somehow, I think that unlike even the great Joshua Slocum who sadly was eventually lost at sea, RS will successfully sail on through time and tide and storm and calm, family by his side, into the night for quite sometime.

Will it ever sink in that your Cato-esk attempts at filibuster are wasting your time, but fueling our laughs?

if there was a way, woofsey could kill the cockroaches he would be a schmillionaire. i guess they just won't die, no matter how hard ya hit 'em. (at first).
at least that's my impression after having been a guest at penthouses where i'm supposed to be impressed to have "waterbugs" on my eyelids waking me up under poof de la poofy down duvets.

Hi Ed, long time so see, so to speak. Well, until a few days ago I had read every word,
It has been one of the better threads around. Mind you, the 1000 day thread was before my time.

It must be foggy in Poland, Soaker Man.. Or you were holding out on me.
Because our Pipsqueak girl, with wonderful candor, has committed herself to blindness of spiritual odyssey, for starters.
She has generated a Reid Hatefest. with only Harpoon and Seacat presenting any beneit, though we are all stuck on winter shores.

Pip has spoken against the use of a tree for a mast. Reid can't do Carbon, mind you.
She has banished Reid from Guyana for technical diplomatic reasons and been quite judgemental of a felon.
while insisting on controlling and re-directing his assets.
She had predicted disaster in a nasty weather pattern, and they made it without even an onboard argument reported No?
She has displayed bitter hatred towards his steering mechanisn.
She has pointed to percieved childhood sadness in photos on a kid sailing the high seas, a top bilge pump performer.
She has predicted general disaster on the voyage yet Dude has arrived.
Pip has generally lit us the SA forums and also demonstrated a friendly, viable way of disagreeing with xyz. It's historic.

You not gonna mention the great poster art by Tabman and great weather and routing graphics? Nice, all.
Am I forgetting anything?

Yes. Turnbuckles so new that they back off are still funny.

Right on! You always nail it, H..

Thank you (again) SeaCat. By your esteemed estimation I may have nailed it more times in my posts than they've been able to nail Reid to his sailor's cross here, though Lord knows they've tried, they've tried, and they're bound to tried again. I remain amazed at how much hate is contained in responses resulting from a post such as the above, which at least to me and you, remains objectively quite true. There's one thing to disagree, and quite another to be so condescending and dumb that disagreeable would be many steps above the words from those I can only hope are otherwiise generally reasonable folks.

if schooner anne can't clear in..(just hypothesizing, not sayin' it happened though it should!)
crew is basically exempt and can fly out right away, the sooner the better imo. just say 'hadn't a clue' and off you go with clean passports.

Stowe would only go to a port of convenience. Perhaps the Ahmad's know a friend of a friend of a friend of a port official who might look the other way and permit entry. I'm sure they remain very supportive of their daughter and grandson in spite of Stowe's antics.

I 'm suggesting that even in Georgetown an entry official might simply be "encouraged" to allow the Sprout Circus through. Some "arrangement" in Georgetown was probably facilitated prior to the NY departure. Tht's just the way Stowe rolls. Everything is a hustle of some sort.

unless NY DEA gave Stowe a pass as an informant/narc..to me there is NO fking way he is clearing in..he is a CONVICTED DRUG SMUGGLER..

For the record, I'm confident they will clear customs. I don't think Reid is stupid. He would have made sure he was good to go at the Guyana end before he left NY Harbor.

The longer Reid keeps sailing and posting the better. The entertainment value is way up there, particularly when analyzed and humorized here on SA. Even without SA commentary, reading his log entries makes me think he should dump his Huffington Post column and sell that shit to The Onion. They could print the entire thing without edits and I'm sure it would be a hit.

BTW, douche-knuckle, it is funny as hell to read your comments about my many minions. My opinion about the highly entertaining clown is well known and shared by people I've never met, have never sailed and have never visited SA. Reid's minions are a great part of the entertainment here. You, as Minion First Class should ask Scooter if you can put out a tip jar -- All proceeds to go to Water Not Wars, or some such bull shit front.

He appears to be using industrial variety, galvanized turnbuckles. They are not drilled. He could always wire between the body and the clevis on each end. Or just wait untill they rust....

Or drill a hole?

I'd MacGyver them by generously forcing the readily available crushed barnacles into the turnbuckles to increase the friction, tape the shit over and under with a roll of duct tape, seize it down with bailing wire, and pour salt water on the fix every half hour until they were rusted into position.

If I didn't have a drill and cotter pins, that is.

The countdown begins for when the next time the Schooner Anne leaves port, and this SA group of slightly salty sometimes nefarious souls can begin their pitiful cries of woefully false concern for the safety and indeed the very lives of the beloved group aboard. Pip will be sleepless from the first storm that's encountered until they once again set foot upon dry land. RD and his many minions will seek to defame defy decry and declaim daily, while some inject humour into the daily diatribes of those who chose to sit ashore and complain, complain, complain about how right they are, and how wrong anything attempted to be done by Stowe was from the absurd get-go, and how obviously doomed to fail all his plans and ocean crossings have been from the first.

Somehow, I think that unlike even the great Joshua Slocum who sadly was eventually lost at sea, RS will successfully sail on through time and tide and storm and calm, family by his side, into the night for quite sometime.

Will it ever sink in that your Cato-esk attempts at filibuster are wasting your time, but fueling our laughs?

Cato- esk filibuster? Is that a Green Lantern failed movie nerd like reference attached to a Republican like threat? That remark is laughable if you have a soundtrack, I suppose. One man's amusement is another man's abuse. Depends which side of the slams you find yourself.



More like:

Debasement, a group whose reason for being is to be abusive, bullying by cowardly and mostly ignorant anonymous cyber gang puts it much better.

First, don't PM or get 'private' with me off of this thread. That's as 'official' a request as I'll use.

Second, if you don't know who Cato was (or which Cato) look at any high school history book, then crack a dictionary to define the term filibuster.

Customs' news?

[sailSAK]

I bet he tried some sort of "disabled vessel" crap on them. With the Hovian crew no news can't be good news. Hell, even the bad things (ship ramming, sails ripping, pregnancy, broken ruder etc) they put the spin on and sugar coat so this has got to be really bad.

[bugger]

In the absence of any other information, all possibilities are equally likely.

I would guess (a) they are being confined to the boat until the clearance is determined and ( there is no free Internet access where they are tied up / anchored.

sheesh.. Chuck Lawton: hovian blogger for wired
learn more about sailing and what it takes for long-distance voyages

excerpt:
Without a doubt, Reid has some serious sailing skills, but it's doubly interesting to peek into their voyage to see how Darshen is enjoying himself. In their posts, they describe celebrating Christmas at sea, swimming in the ocean and tending to a manual bilge pump, all while their son joins in. In many respects, family life on open water isn't drastically different from our own on land. And while this might be a less arduous journey — especially with a crew along to share in tending toAnne — sailing can still be dangerous. However, Reid and Soanya's life is clearly at sea and it's great that they are raising their own child to participate in that experience.

All told, it's a fascinating journey and one I've been following actively since 2007. And I've got to say that the adventure just got a little more personal following Reid and Soanya's journey as parents as well. You too can follow their voyage at the 1000days.net website, and consider adding their RSS feed to your reader for daily updates on the high seas.

sheesh.. Chuck Lawton: hovian blogger for wired
learn more about sailing and what it takes for long-distance voyages

excerpt:
Without a doubt, Reid has some serious sailing skills, but it's doubly interesting to peek into their voyage to see how Darshen is enjoying himself. In their posts, they describe celebrating Christmas at sea, swimming in the ocean and tending to a manual bilge pump, all while their son joins in. In many respects, family life on open water isn't drastically different from our own on land. And while this might be a less arduous journey — especially with a crew along to share in tending toAnne — sailing can still be dangerous. However, Reid and Soanya's life is clearly at sea and it's great that they are raising their own child to participate in that experience.

Hovian?. No, just an IT guy drinking the kool-aid. I doubt he has ever set foot on a sailboat.

Good for you, braggart. I'm still using a 2400 baud modem, fer fuck's sake, and happy to have the Goddamned thing. When the phone rings at the house whilst I'm on the Internet, the old lady picks up and my porn disappears.

I hear there's a 6400 baud modem these days. Can someone point me in the right direction to get one? Newspaper ads, and confirm that via e-mail?

[kent_island_sailor]

Anyone got over/under on Malaria?

[redviking]

I'm thinking mutiny, missing passport/s, drugs found aboard, entry denied, Anne sunk, children services picked up Darshen and they don't want to talk about it, mission control stopped accepting collect calls, the anchor chain broke and they drifted back out to sea, what gives? They must have cleared in and are signing in blood a secrecy pact 'cuz something happened...

[seacat]

The countdown begins for when the next time the Schooner Anne leaves port, and this SA group of slightly salty sometimes nefarious souls can begin their pitiful cries of woefully false concern for the safety and indeed the very lives of the beloved group aboard. Pip will be sleepless from the first storm that's encountered until they once again set foot upon dry land. RD and his many minions will seek to defame defy decry and declaim daily, while some inject humour into the daily diatribes of those who chose to sit ashore and complain, complain, complain about how right they are, and how wrong anything attempted to be done by Stowe was from the absurd get-go, and how obviously doomed to fail all his plans and ocean crossings have been from the first.

Somehow, I think that unlike even the great Joshua Slocum who sadly was eventually lost at sea, RS will successfully sail on through time and tide and storm and calm, family by his side, into the night for quite sometime.

Right on! You always nail it, H..

I hope you symbolically wipe your chin after you post.

Can't take it if it's not 10 against 1, hey BM?

No, I just have an aversion to the forum version of pre-teenage girls swooning at a boy band show.

What's the matter, BarleyFart, all that grain gas making you irritable, a little sensitive these days? Or is it that Reid has proven you wrong and safely arrived at Georgetown, or maybe it's because deep down you know that H is right, that you're a dweeb who has to bury yourself in the anonymous hyena pack, taking cheap potshots at a man who doesn't know, or remotely care, that you and your pitiful comments even exist. I'm sure your hoping against all hope that Reid is being interrogated in a small dark room with electrical wires and chains hanging from the ceiling, probably because you or your cohorts sent poisonous emails under assumed names to customs or any other official channels your sick minds could muster, citing any and all ancient transgressions that a young Reid committed. Satisfied that we haven't heard from anyone in days? Maybe now you can finally proclaim that the whole trip was a disaster..

[pipsqueak]

i didn't send anything to anybody in authority sc. i already owned up that i wrote one of the crew's mom a nice letter asking her to check out Stowe, and more precisely to check out his boat, which i told her was not seaworthy due to neglect. that's it for my 'interference' hon.
though i did get a big grin reading your zap the cap't fantasy..(i'm ashamed...NOT!)

sc, customs is not difficult.
you need the proper paperwork.
it's no one's fault but reido if he doesn't have it..you shouldn't blame someone here.
you just can't go sailing around to foreign countries and clear in without respecting their laws, it's that simple and it's not anything 'special' for reid..it's for everybody!
surely, you know how difficult it is to clear into the U.S.A. for a foreigner???

i already posted here that technically by the laws of ANY caribbean nation, a federally convicted drug felon is denied entry. why blame us, if that's the problem?

[tabman]

I trust Reid gave the crew the standard "do not bring illegal substances aboard this vessel as it could lead to its seizure" talk. I am sure he has this mounted somewhere aboard the Anne

[Beer Can]

Hard not be entertained by the dragon dance and other eccentricities, but agreed that it would be ugly and wrong to contact customs or anybody else for that matter. Big difference between yucking it up at their expense, and taking specific actions to harm them. Maybe I'm naive, but I'd be surprised if anyone here is that mean-spirited.

But I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering why the radio silence from these self-promoters at their moment of triumph.

it doesn't matter when it happened!

there is a box you have to check on the admission form!
i will bring up whatever the fuck i want sc!!!!!

i don't know if you are willfully misunderstanding the clearance process or not!
do you think convicted drug felons are allowed entrance into the USA?
i'll tell you...NO!!!!

[bugger]

As most on this thread know, getting in to port and off the boat is one big relief (as much as we all love to be on the water).

Pulling alongside and imagining all those things you have missed (company of friends, cold beer, good food, whatever) become aching needs as they get closer.

When I was in the Navy, I recall once when the ship was returning to home port after a long deployment. At 9:00 pm the ship was 60 miles from port. We all just wanted off that boat. We joked that if we had a car and a road, we could be home in an hour. At 20 kts, we figured on being at the dock around midnight. Next, there was an announcement that the arrival time was postponed until noon the next day so the admiral could meet the ship for a ceremonial arrival. There was nearly a mutiny.

If there is no news from the good ship Anne, it is probably not a voluntary silence.

Being stuck on a boat you can't leave is a bit like being in jail, with the added risk of drowning

[pipsqueak]

personally, i think his problems lie in the paper work for schooner anne.
he isn't the owner and he hasn't kept up with the fees.

again, i'm sure sc..you can twist that around somehow to be OUR FAULT!

you do remember he invites the public to 'follow him along'?????
do you remember too that he is soliciting money via the internet for this voyage?
damn sc..i'm disappointed in you. i thought we were friends.

[tabman]

So if customs denies entry for a valid reason it's this threads fault? You mean that it would be OK for Reid to enter a foreign country illegally as long as nobody caught him?

[Regatta Dog]

And the Bristol condition of the boat wouldn't attract any secondary investigation/searching by Customs.

Isn't Anguilla the Anne's registered home port? That might cause a problem or two. Or maybe he forgot to take off his dragon hat before customs arrived and they're still laughing too hard to process the paperwork

Wouldn't any pertinent specifics about his past be brought to light by Reid himself when he filled out the paperwork? I'm not seeing where this thread or anyone at SA has any impact on Reid's full and honest disclosure about his past.

Wait....you seem to be suggesting that Reid would not be forthcoming with customs officials about his past. Why would you besmirch Reid's good name in such a malicious way?

[seacat]

So if customs denies entry for a valid reason it's this threads fault? You mean that it would be OK for Reid to enter a foreign country illegally as long as nobody caught him?

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Reid convicted of a felony? So if I am convicted of a felony at some time in the future I can say, "Aw never mind that, it's ancient history"?

you are being purposely obtuse.
i have stated for you how many times
a felony drug conviction is automatic denial of entry for any caribbean nation.
this is to ban drug smugglers.
to tell them not only do they face serious jail time but they can not return.
ever.
there is no expiration date.
one can not have a felony drug conviction and procure a u.s. passport as far as i know as well.
when clearing in to customs one must present proper paperwork for the yacht and crew.
this is not 'special' for reid sc! it is for every sailor!
why don't you get this?

sc, they can even ask if he is financially capable of supporting himself and ask for proof of departure.
they don't want to let him in and be saddled with his support for the rest of his days. or his rotten hulk of a ship.
they can ask for a return trip airfare if they believe his boat won't get him out of there.
this is for everyone! not just your zero!

he is seeking entry on a tourist visa.
does he have any money to spend as a tourist?
because guyana is not there to be exploited as a tree farm for itinerants!

Silly me - I assumed that the SPOT would be updated periodically and that that was the current position when you refreshed the SPOT ID. Obviously not although Andy's blog did have an updated lat long which showed them in Georgetown on the 10th. I don't understand either why they are checking in in Georgetown either when a check in office has been established in Bartica specifically for cruisers (mentioned on noonsite.com). Oh well, guess we'll all have to stay tuned eh. Sorry for the old news.
