Moderation means the moderator deleting posts he / she considers are inappropriate, which is what happened on this occasion. I did not say she was a ‘hack journalist’, that is a pejorative term which is your comment. Why be insulting, relax, your in paradise

This is driving me berzerkus.
Sailing with the wind is great, you get to where you wanna get to quickly, and everything is peachy.
You need to head east though - in to the wind -and it takes weeks in real time - or at least it feels like it Its very annoying, especially when you overshoot your mark heading west and have to turn back.
Am I doing something wrong, or does it really just take forever to sail in to the wind?

Several weeks after returning to California, I was off again. This time I was the navigator on a 90 foot schooner sailing to Hawaii. I flew back from that trip. Taken together, that means that I sailed to Hawaii twice and back once in1985. Three years later, I was off to Hawaii again on a Triton. That 6000 miles sail was done completely single handed.
