Only in Florida can they breed these adventurous and capable seafarers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DriftingWithoutGrifting 16 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 yes, yes - we need some good entertainment here again! Heading offshore in an oversized hamster wheel - I love it. He did do a good job with the floatation, and for mooring up probably having some extra fenders super handy (and plenty of them) is helpful? Saves that USCG tow into the marina?

DriftingWithoutGrifting 16 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 A couple of triple lattes while ashore, and we can load him up with some Idaho spuds and he should be good to go? Oh - and a GPS tracker. Not for safety or anything, for entertainment purposes only, right? Now I am actually curious about exactly what kind of 'fund raiser' he is sailing for Whoops - already answered my own question on above, and somehow I am not surprised. Maybe he is the 'anti-Rimas' what with wanting to raise money for the Coast Guard instead of incurring and liability for the entire seafaring community? Meanwhile I think Rimas still has a better plan, what with the upcoming marketing campaign for the Idaho spuds. "Idaho potatoes, now with sea salt!" "My goal is to not only raise money for homeless people, raise money for the Coast Guard, raise money for the police department, raise money for the fire department," Baluchi told the station. "They are in public service, they do it for safety and they help other people." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Baldur 144 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Nahh, this guy is way more wishy washy than Rima's. Fla to Bermuda or New York? Rimas always only one specific destination, Cape Horn. He never makes it, bit he only has one target. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was his problem, if he had aimed for Hawaii he probably would have made it around the horn. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
