- ableal 16y agoWell, I got from the adgrok.com "about the team" page to his sailboat page ( http://svmoksha.com/ http://svmoksha.com/, good reading). I presume he's quite familiar with the traditional definition of a boat as a hole in the water one throws money at ...
- antongm 16y agoOh, God yes. Thanks for reading the sailing blog. And that's about the cheapest, smallest boat one could non-suicidally ponder a circumnavigation in, by the way. And even then owning it and sailing it is like taking a cold shower and tearing up $100 bills (to quote the old joke).
