Couple Cruise for 1000 Days

Now that your anti-hero has safely returned from more than 1,000 days sailing virtually singlehandedly, and reunited with his (college graduate) child common law bride and partially circumnavigated in the womb son, how about re-starting this thread from the beginning and working within the framework of the facts as we know them?

I mean this thread is an all time monster. It's one for the ages, meant to out last all others, this web of intrigue, endless speculation, (un)usually harsh judgements, and tribute to the power of the anonymous individual to purposefully ferret out endless amounts of useless information that serves to feed into a group obsession of millions (okay maybe a bit less and a lot of multiple postings) of sailing anarchists dedicated for life (?) to following the continuing story of one poor and threadbare sailor, in his quest for greatness, unqualified love, and self promotion on a scale seldom seen in a live aboard cruiser keeping his head above the waterline. If the group helping Reid drank the cool aid and are called Hovians, what pray tell should we call this dedicated corps of Reid Stowe, Couple Cruise For A Thousand Days Thread sailing enthusiasts?

I don't know if anyone else saw this article:

 

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070422/ap_on_.../longest_cruise

 

Apparently all you need to sail around the world is (1) a life raft donated by your ex-wife and (2) a tiny girlfriend who is going to freak the fuck out as soon as the north atlantic starts and the hudson ends.

 

Good scam tho'. They did get the shits donated, and can just roll to the islands and fake the logs for the trip...

Sorry, but your FACTS must be qualified, RW.........

1. Your hero was NOT sailing for much of the 1,000 (whatever many) days. Keeping that boat afloat was no doubt hard work, but Stowe was not SAILING for well over half of those days, and now IMO, he's undeserving of sailing records.

2. Yep ~ once Soanya adds two more years to her Associates Degree she will indeed be what most consider a "college graduate".

3. The partially-circumnavigated-in-the-womb son and mother didn't have a lick of support either physically or financially from his father for nearly two years (much spent sails down). I'd cross that item off your brag list when you try to appeal to women, especially mothers.

And since you're back, I will YET AGAIN ask you to point out the lies you claim were told about Reid Stowe in this thread.

Geezus Pipshit, you gotta chill out!! Go start your own thread somewhere else. Let's get this thread turned around! It's had over 1,000,000 views now. Wolfsey was right on and really always has been. I will miss his first hand knowledge and whitty come backs. He was the best.

So what is Reid up to? Does anyone know when and where any public apprearances may be? I feel sure that he did what he said he did. For me there is no doubt. I'd like to hear first hand accounts and a question/answer forum. Anyone know of anything like this. I think have one on SA would be the shizzle. :)

So you have no doubt that Jesus and Buddha massaged Reid's arms?. Or that he capsized (not a knockdown, capsized) near the Horn?. Or that the Maersk ship hit him, and not the other way around?. You really believe that Parmigiano Reggiano is the king of cheeses?. Ha.

Pipshit? Now really Salty. A bit harsh don't you think.?

Pip has simply offered opinion to which we are all entitled and presented publicly available information regarding Stowe. I'm sure what you and most Hovians find most annoying about the posts is Pip's ability to sort through Weid's old statements/claims and juxtapose them against current offerings. The Moitessier "meeting" being the most recent example. Great stuff. Stowe always has been the cause of his own undoing and the beat goes on.

SparkyWolf, I assume you meant to post this Google search link ("Reid Stowe"), listing 8,820 links to all ten MC press releases (88 times each), as opposed to the 409,000 hits your search implies.

Sadly, a search of "reid stowe" "squawk" only returns (56) hits. There is no justice in this Google world. Only a link to a lone photo of pensive Squawk, reflecting on former glory days.

Speaking of Google, if thinking of booking a winter ski vacation you can kill two birds with one stone by searching for "Reid Stowe Resort Vermont". The shorter "Reid Stowe Vermont" doesn't quite cut it....returns silly links like this within the first 8 hits.

Type in ("Bobby Stowe" Vermont marijuana arrest). "Robert S Stowe"FindACase™ UNITED STATES v. MALING.htm is Reid's brother & co-builder of Tantra.

Alright, call me Hovian if you wish - but let's send this guy back out there. If everyone just coughed up a hundred bucks and some sprout seeds, we could do this all over again. SALTY, Rand, Sparky da Ho and even RD, c'mon man - my wife spends more to play Fantasy Football for just one year... Let's pool our assets. I hear cheese is on sale this time of year and uh, Reid and Soy Toy should head south for the winter anyway - too cold in NYC.... Perhaps Tania Aebi, I mean Pippy, could rendevous with Anne and they could scrape barnicles together.

I think redviking is onto something. We've all enjoyed three years + of our intrepid traveler. This winter is looking quite dull without DT, TinCan or Stowe.

What other thread has the potential?

SA should step up and sponsor him, and then we can all get back to one of our favorite winter pastimes.

I'm in!! I would love to have a banner on that boat. But I'm sure that his record will stand for decades so I'm guessing his job is done. But if he needed to do it again I bet he could, no problem. B)

I hate to burst your bubble there SS, but the official record for pole sitting is 37 years by Saint Simeon Stylites or Symeon the Stylite circa AD 422 - 459, which is the nearest thing to what Reid actually accomplished. Reid's only got another 12,500 or so days to go, so get him back out there!

I'm not sure why everyone always brings up Reids speed? Who cares how fast he goes, he's not in a speed race. He out there for the long haul. And is that respect he HAULED ASS!!! :p

Can't wait until the book comes out. :)

Sounds like he has a good land life now too. Right on Reid!!
