Couple Cruise for 1000 Days

:huh: Reid has set the biggest record in sailing though! How can you not be immpressed by it? Who cares how fast you get from A to B. really? His records will stand for a long time.

What is more impressive, driving your car from New York to Los Angeles, or sitting in your car in your driveway for a week?

we've caught Reid in so many lies, there is no reason to believe he even did the 1000 days without stopping or assistance.

his gps went unaccountably offline when he was less than one hundred miles off shore and when it came back up 10 days whatever later (equally mysteriously), he and Soybean were chomping on pumpkin seeds, coincedentally the major export of the nearest country. He seemed to jill around the galapagos and bermuda for unknown reasons for weeks..and his uncle (on a sailboat) or his pal (also on a sailboat) were coincedentally always within a stone's throw.

we know Soybean has no qualms lying either..she told NPR the same bs 'seasick' story when her pregnancy had been confirmed by a dr. in AU.

Reid is a proven pathological liar. why should anyone take his word for 'unassisted' or 'never touched terra firma'?

some hero you've got there SS.

Well done Pip. As they say, you can't make this shit up. Or can you? Stowe certainly can.

Better alert "Skol fir" that his beloved Wiki entry for Stowe must yet again be edited to reflect this new old truth about the meeting with Bernard.

Stowe does after all have a book that Bernard autographed and gave him and.................................nevermind.

If the ghost writer is any kind of researcher he must be having fits trying to reconcile all the varied tales.

Now about those sprouts on the cabin ceiling.

I lost what little faith I had left in Reid when Club Med palm trees inadvertently appeared in a day #192 photo.

JP is jealous!!!!!

Yeah.

That and Barley, concerned with his figure, drinks Coors Ultra Light.

On the rocks. Diluted, with a splash of soda water.

Typical Redwings fans...

Sailorbrewer Announces Record Oceanic Brewing Mission

October 18, 2010

Updated (one sec...putting down Dogfish IPA to hit Numlock) 22 seconds ago

Master homebrewing rock star and Sailorman "CScow" has announced sudden plans to drift the world's oceans Great Lakes for 1000 days at somebody else's expense while brewing beer, insulting Detroit Redwings fans, and writing 3M Corp regarding abrasive properties of ground zebra mussel shells when applied to bare feet.

The science project, underwritten by generous grants from John D. and Catherine T. MacBarley Foundation and viewers like you, seeks to study global warming, Great Lakes water levels, and Ma & Pa CScow's dock routinely exceeding 280 linear damned feet (28 x 2 = 56 F@#$ing dock posts, extending from a now worthless 10 F@#$ing foot seawall, just to clear a F@#$ing C-Scow or Sunfish daggerboard... all thanks to that bastard Great Lakes Sparky). The selfless humanitarian mission is believed to the first of it's kind, at least north of Benton Harbor and south of Ludington.

Punk-Hovian rock band "Weapons Without Water" is expected to lend moral support to the mission, assuming Pete shows up with his banjo. Real time webcam coverage is also planned, enabling little shits in random Muskegon classrooms to learn a thing or two about Belgian craft brewing if they turn off their cell phones, shut the hell up, and pay close attention.

The S/V Mac-65 sailboat, named after a famously large hamburger, was handmade in a factory next door to some surfer dude's parent's back yard in Costa Mesa, California, where it sat in inventory long enough to enable a variety of eukaryotic micro-organisms ("yeast") to thrive.

"Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces pastorianus, Trichosporon cutaneum, typhoid, scurvy...algae, bean sprouts, Glocks, alewives, lampreys, Asian Carp-In-Carp . We got it all!", noted CScow. "Everything we need to brew quality West Coast hockey grade beers or some ethanol variant while hurling insults at Redwings fans serving mankind. If we can just get Mike to show us how to fire up the 200HP Black Max outboard and get this sucker planing we'll be all set!".

CScow's babe was said to not be pleased and was thus promptly traded in on a 1992 model, resulting in a skirmish, exchange of multiple glasses of clean water, and a customary random check by DNR officials for required Meijers Thrifty Acres close-out orange life jackets, aerosol horn, fire extinguisher, bow and stern running lamps, functioning trailer lamps, duck blind, mirror, fishing license, Trout Stamp, fish shanty, snowmobile, Deer Tag, down-rigger, bobbers, orange cap, camo overalls, Daredevils, Lotto ticket, 2 cords of neatly stacked firewood, an assortment of wild turkey calls, and somebody riding shotgun to keep an eye on that former sister-in-law water skier trying to learn slalom and desparately signaling the boat to slow down to no readily apparent avail.

Observers report CScow's original babe, cooled by the glasses of clean water, has since shown her support by donating a quart of cherries, 8 pounds of blueberrys, a slightly rusted but much needed red 7-gallon outboard gas tank, including hose & primer bulb, that old Evinrude prop hanging over the garage door, and a letter from that lawyer advertising on the billboard out on Old Highway 31, just north of Rothbury.

That's an impressive plan, Mr Sailorbrewer! But I'm wondering how you will verify your record. Does Mac65 have Metocean tracking units? Will the home audience be able to see your lake track? Are you planning to make any "drawings" with your course?

As the self designated PR contact for the sailor brewer (I actually am not a PR person or a lawyer, but I impersonated one once) I would be happy to answer. Regrettably, there are no tracking units in the budget, and no one has stepped up to donate any. Instead. specially trained seagulls carrying miniature cameras will provide overhead photography, while trained Asian Carp will provide exclusive underwater shots. The footage will be available on the mission web site, 1,000 days at lake hammered on beer assuming we can retrieve the photographers. Besides, the lake is only seventy miles wide, it's not like the Sailorbrewer can get lost..

As for drawings, several are planned. First, the Stanley Cup will be drawn, as it is likely the Black Hawk fans won't see it again for another forty years. Next,. a misshapen Sturgeon with a few extra fins is planned, followed by a large mug of beer. A large wheel of Wisco Cheddar is also contemplated, although the technical difficulties of this may preclude it, or if the Sailorbrewer decides to drop sails and drift on a several month bender.

Of course all mission plans and stated goals are subject to change or abandonment as the mood suits or the Big Mac disintegrates.

Wow, you are obviously well-qualified for your high rank in Mission Control! I'd like to do my part and contribute. Sorry, but I'm not willing to STEP UP with my one and only capper, but I will be taking up a bottle collection in my basement. I will also donate my inflatable Fun Island (minus the lost palm tree). Every voyage needs a Fun Island! When is departure?

As a Lake Erie native this all sounds rather intriguing actually.  I'll donate a bottle of vodka, can I send vodka via pay pal?  Perhaps you can draw a zebra mussel or two.

Snow shovel for the bottom cleaning, and the extra truck tires, don't forget!

If you have a composting head, you should be able to dry the thruput and burn it as fuel through the winter, negating the need for 50 propane tanks.

You obsessed fans keep obsessing with your love-hate relationship with Reid, you should give him a phone call or send him an email. He's pretty friendly, maybe he'll make a guest appearance here on SA and take questions from the audience.

you really don't know Reid very well do you?

he won't answer any of the questions we asked.

nor will his sheeple.

why? because we already know the answers and they are NOT flattering!

he is NOT nice.

he is a convicted criminal. a conman and a sleazy womanizer; a panhandler and self-entitled prick!

 

[pipsqueak]

did you ever ask women to risk their lives so you could make a nickle wofsey?

din't think so.

i will stop now..maybe.

 

[mikewof]

If this is true he belongs in prison.

I knew his ex-wife and several of his friends, and I suspect (very strongly) that this is not true. You're telling me something about someone I know, and you're doing it behind the veil of anonymity. Am I supposed to believe someone I don't know who doesn't post under their own name or a person whom with whom I've had a casual friendship?

Fine, you want to make Reid a laughingstock, a buffoon, a weirdo, a scam artist, a crappy sailor, a loafer? Eh, not necessarily the best use of time, but if it is amuses you, and undoubtedly all of us have at times been buffoons, weirdos, scam artists, crappy sailors and loafers. Perhaps he was more a buffoon and a loafer than most of us.

But saying that he forced women to ingest condoms filled with heroin to mule past customs borders on the fantastical, like something out of an old Miami Vice episode. Also, if a condom filled with heroin broke inside of a person they would die, the lethal dose of heroin is just a few hundred milligrams, therefore that is a visible hole in this tale.

 

[awolf209]

It's just more SNAFU Hovian Hypocrisy, Pip ..........

Weed and Soanya hated being forced to Hoboken for the year prior to departure. The engine was flooded and needed expensive repair. Soy said only "a few still loyal friends" bothered to visit. Weed said they were at their darkest moment, couldn't pay their bills, and "nobody would return my pleading calls". (Quite a comedown from his days as the dashing Captain Stowe cruising the Hamptons in his Rolls.)

- They lived "off the grid", but that's your only choice if you can't afford electricity. Weed-Spin calls that "Sustainability"

- They had a huge stash of parmesan cheese, donated beans, and oatmeal, but most likely couldn't afford meat, fish, or fowl. Weed-Spin proclaims they are "Vegetarians" ~ and how did his vision of the floating platter of BBQ spare-ribs break up his man-massage from Jesus and Buddha?

- Soanya often expressed her disdain for "commercialism", but said her first order of business after getting home was to spend 6 months on the couch watching all the TV shows the family had recorded for her.

- She chastised society over our wasteful water usage, but was doing her part by limiting her showers to 20 minutes.

- Weed ate "like a king" with the FINEST cheese, donated beans and oatmeal, and fish pulled out of fish guts. Indeed it was the best ~ because it was all he had.

- He ate the "healthiest diet" imaginable without a need for vitamins.... and was missing at least 3 teeth when he returned.

Applause applause, JP. (Not sarcastic clapping - this is a genuine bravo to your succinctly put points.) Still have yet to see any good acts come from of those two that tangibly help others besides themselves. Making appearances because you're the "honored" guest isn't actually doing anything to help any cause.

On a side note, I'm glad this thread exists, not so much because it is (or isn't) about Reid, but because it mostly exposes the ridiculousness of blind hero worship and crediting people who claim to have accomplished far more than they really did. I've read a few posts that question the value and raison d'etre of this thread and although it exists in a very narrowly defined universe, i.e. a sailing forum, what all of you are doing (with the exception of a few) is what we should all be doing, which is to question anyone who makes grand claims about themselves and spins truths. Smart people ask questions and when things don't add up, they point it out. That's essentially how Enron collapsed. You people not only say the emperor is naked, you also provide solid proof and have a sense of humor about it. Bravo everyone. Keep it up!

The thing that fascinates me about this thread is how easy Reid makes it for all his detractors. My mind's not made up about whether he's really bad at self-promotion, or really good. Ironically, it's one his supporters who said it best when he pointed out that Reid is abrasively boastful when he talks about the kind of things that most people approach humbly, e.g. religion, mysticism, meditation. Reid's lack of polish may appear refreshing and likable to some, but eventually, it is his downfall. He may have charmed one guy with his misspelled proposal, but it doesn't cut it in the real world of corporate sponsorship, which is his true target.

Finally, I don't know if anyone already addressed this in a previous post but it bothered me that Reid bought a stove with Soanya's credit card. Doesn't he have a history of women buying him things and doing major work for him? Two things that come to mind are the carvings on his schooner done by Iris, which he claims he did, and the life raft his other ex-wife bought him before he went on his 3 year vacation, which didn't look cheap. I have no idea whether Reid helps Soanya out with her own expenses, or if their combined earnings, if any, are pooled together. Obviously he doesn't have a credit card because that only tethers him closer to the IRS and other agencies he wants to avoid, and his credit is foul. I just hope for Soanya that 1) he doesn't foul up her credit as well, especially with her being so young and having a kid and 2) it doesn't end up where 10 years later Reid is boasting about his awesome stove that he worked so hard to get to his 18 year old girlfriend who never heard of Soanya.

This is just the tip of the iceberg on how WEid has used women in the past. I really wish those who have been used/abused (not physically) by him in the past would step up and out the fucker for who he really is. How does anyone think he financed his lifestyle of the 80s, complete building in SoHo, Rolls, Hamptons, building the Anne, sailing all over with no income? There has to be many who know what really went on. Want to tell the truth, Reid?
