As a young man I built 40 and 55 foot racing cruising sail boats in Newport Beach. As an older man I published a magazine in Arizona. I read primarily about global politics and war. It's quite depressing really so your adventure is a great diversion and it reminds me that altruistic young people are still a reality in what's become a brutal world. I'm right here, following you young lady and I wish you well. Here's a great Beach Boys song for ya.<br /><br />Sail On Sailor<br /><br />I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean<br />Through restful waters and deep commotion<br />Often frightened, unenlightened<br />Sail on, sail on sailor<br /><br />I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters<br />Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders<br />Unrepenting, often empty<br />Sail on, sail on sailor<br /><br />Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail<br />Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail<br /><br />Seldom stumble, never crumble<br />Try to tumble, life's a rumble<br />Feel the stinging I've been given<br />Never ending, unrelenting<br />Heartbreak searing, always fearing<br />Never clearing persevering<br />Sail on, sail on, sailor<br /><br />I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways<br />Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters<br />Uninspired, drenched and tired<br />Wail on, wail on, sailor<br /><br />Always needing, even bleeding<br />Never feeding all my feelings<br />Damn the thunder, must I blunder<br />There's no wonder all I'm under<br />Stop the crying and the lying<br />And the sighing and my dying<br /><br />Sail on, sail on sailorJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819618458422131325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-21367464347341610872010-02-07T18:31:25.503-08:002010-02-07T18:31:25.503-08:00So.. as I do every Superbowl Sunday..

I tried to imagine myself in Abby's shoes. On days like THIS... awesome. Just ME and the ocean.. Nice swells and good wind. Perhaps when the next gale warning comes up I will go sit on my boat and ponder the same things about such a large sailing goal as Abby and Jessica and all the other sailors out in the middle of the ocean with mountian sized swells and 40+kt winds. <br /><br />TODAY was beautiful.. and it was a pleasure to be on the same ocean as you today Abby... YOU GO GIRL... And I really don't know if your actually having time to READ the posts on the blog... but I think I am going to make it point to see if I can get school kids from my assemplies to post to your blog for extra ecnouragement for you...<br /><br />Sail On..

You have a small hiccup at the beginning, Abby, but you will be able to start over and that's great.<br /><br />I hope you get plenty of rest before you set sail again. I'm looking forward to your blogs and hearing about your progress.<br /><br />God has you in the palm of his hand throughout this incredible adventure.

Hilarious...@Tim Gough: Thanks for the pointer, Man! Hilarious. Ryan removed my comment from his site.<br /><br />And HOORAY for Cassie for virtually reposting it on Ryan's site. The big question that got me the boot was: Is he going the Wrong Way Around because he wants to, or because this is the only way to find sponsors?<br /><br />He's just 17 so has plenty to learn. (I was dumber than a doornail at 17, I'm quite positive!) But if he wants to build a community around his venture, he can't be booting comments off because they ask uncomfortable questions. Two days after his posting he's up to 7 comments. Could have been 8 if he hadn't booted mine. ;-)<br /><br />SO, FOR ABOUT THE 5TH TIME . . . LET ME SAY HOORAY FOR MARIANNE OR WHOMEVER IT IS THAT MODERATES ABBY'S BLOG!<br /><br />I greatly admire the discourse they have allowed here. I've written all sorts of stuff that apparently wouldn't be allowed on Ryan's blog. I've asked questions, proffered all sorts of unsolicited advice, and I'm sure over and again made things perhaps uncomfortable.<br /><br />Why? Because I want Abby to get around the world safely (and with that dodger . . . comfortably). ;-)<br /><br />I've enjoyed seeing -- and am often impressed by -- the discussion that follows. <br /><br />The free range of discussion that has been allowed here has added greatly to the richness of the site (I hope and believe.)<br /><br />Some days ago I made some predictions about whether Abby would get a wind vane (Absolutely!) ;-) And such. (And, of course, I may very well end up being Absolutely! wrong.)<br /><br />Let me place such predictions in the following framework. I see the site as kind of a parlor . . . Think of a Jules Verne drawing room, with walls of varnished mahogany panelling, covered with intoxicatingly beautiful oil paintings and heavy with books you'd want lifetimes to explore, the corners filled with telescopes, the tabletops covered with microscopes, warm fire behind the fender, winged-back chairs with Ottomans (as in the Empire) Porter's chairs from a hotel in Paris, sofa's with pillows and blankets for catnapping between dispatches arriving on the telegraph. You get the picture. And a dear friend comes in, shaking off their overcoat and says, "Have just heard from Lloyds of London that Abby has put into Cabo. What could it mean?"<br /><br />- Grant Fjermedal, SeattleGrant Fjermedalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-40619920128460082352010-02-05T22:06:52.006-08:002010-02-05T22:06:52.006-08:00Looking good Abby!
