I hope the captain reads charts better than the spelling in this post... Where do you sail to if you go to ´the Cribe´? I´m always up for sailing but I like to know where landfall is...

I´m not a guy, we´ve never HIT the DR or any other dock, LOL, and I´ve never gunned for Ireland - ´tis too cold there
But yes, we´ve sailed these waters frequently - there are a few others as well who sailed, Ken on this board, PJT, TexasBill and more...

I´m also not the grammar and spelling police - but a sailing thread always makes me want to take a vacation. Knowing the trade winds, the weather conditions and the water, I just wondered about this post on the board - and the suggested route..

Sorry Chris you didn't sound like a guy. " The suggested route". From Manzinillo head straight out, drink 10 cases of Ticate then hang a left. Then drink 10 bottles of Tequila and 10 cases of Ticate and stop at the" island" of Costa Rica and buy some guns or sell some guns, whatever. At the Panama Canal, head left. Once through the canal, head left left right, drink whatever you've got left and run aground in Jamaca. After getting robbed and shot at in Jamaca head right right left to Haiti. Run aground and sell your guns or buy some guns, whatever. Then head right or left, depending on wich way your facing, to Porto Rico. Do not, repeat, do not turn left or right whichever way your facing before Porto Rico. Good luck!

I just realised that. Beer, football and D.R.1, I feel myself spiralling out of control.

Der Captin: I cain't sail worth a d@mn, but I do know that you are looking at an extremely dangerous voyage if that is your route.
I wonder if Ken would agree wit me?????
