Finding an old Post - Assist

[Kiwi Phil]

I recall there was a post some time back where a chap asked for advice about buying an old/cheap sail boat and sailing the high seas in it.<br />This chap had no experience whatsoever with boats.<br />The post went on for pages.<br />Can anybody recall it.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

I remember it Phil. <br /><br />"needing to escape society; in search of a sturdy craft to bear me across the rough oceans"<br /><br />I found it but when I try to open it it says you have requested a topic that does not exist!.<br /><br />Maybe it got nasty and the powers that be sent it to 'poof' heaven.<br /><br />Ya not planing a trip are ya?<br /><br />Aldo

The poster was grandiloquent.<br />He registered and posted the same day and then that was it. He left and has not posted anything else.

And it's too bad the thread turned nasty because I found it truly entertaining. I was looking forward to seeing updates from Grandiloquent on his/her wireless laptop as he/she attempted to circumnavigate the globe in a dinghy with no prior sailing experience!

Re: Finding an old Post - Assist

Thanks everybody. <br />It appears this Wombat has turned up at MacGregor Trailer Sailer Forum asking advice about sailing to Hawihii this time. <br />Some body there identified him from another Trailer Sailer Forum with similar Q. Plus i believe he has been to others too.<br />Looks as if he is doing the rounds. <br />Must be pretty cold outdoors up your way if this is what some do to keep themselves amused.<br />Thanks fellas<br />Cheers<br />Phillip
