to castigate someone for their choice of ownership is to impugn the journey and taint their dream, which i believe is contra to the purpose of this website. |
I agree with this entirely.
BUT, it doesn't sound like he is calling Searay owners idiots for buying or owning a Searay. He is saying most Searay owners are not knowledgable (which I definately in my time on the water find to be the case in general when it comes to an owners understanding of the navigation rules.)
