OK, that's fine.
So, when you **** up and get lost because you can't tell large scale from small scale we will all keep our gobs shut.
Can't wait!

It is still beating the bog thread. :encouragement: Perhaps because we keep bouncing it.

I have just checked the boats here in Littlehampton while walking the dog
no sign of him here
so that narrows it down a tad
I just cannot see how some of you fail to understand the importance of threads such as these

Perhaps the thread is quiet because all the concerned people are out with binoculars?

Is it worth cross posting it in the Liveaboards forum?

Such wit.
Read the OP again and ask yourself how your family would be feeling if you were the yachtsman in question.

Annoyed at people salivating over their predicament? Fed up with expressions of pointless concern?

It is certainly a serious matter for all concerned and like everyone else I have my fingers crossed for a happy outcome, however like several others I didn't respond to the OP as there was feck all I can do.

Do you mind if I ask what you were hoping to get from your original post? Despite what Wikipedia might say, most of the waters around Britain & Ireland, where most posters on the Scuttlebutt forum sail (when not posting), are not refered to as the Atlantic. The posters on this forum are unlikely to be able to offer practical help so it can't have been a surprise when there were no such offers of help.
I presume you've also posted on more relevent forums elsewhere.

It is not about 'response'. The debate began when Nostro pointed out the number of VIEWINGS of this thread compared with a similarly timed thread on the subject of a marine bog.
Not being able to respond is one thing, a complete apparent lack of interest in the subject, as indicated by the thread title, is something else.

The comment you have highlighted is referring to 'views' not 'offers of practical help'.
Do you understand the difference?

I tell you what I do understand. The difference between someone trying to help someone else and someone wailing and tearing their shirt to try to make themselves look good.

Amazing!
So the Op started the thread to 'look good'!
Pass me some of whatever you are smoking.

I was referring to you.
Anyway, I'm not on-line for a few days, so I'll leave you to enjoy your self-satisfaction on your own.

I think the problem here was that the forum got criticised for being more interested in toilets than someone lost in the Atlantic. its the criticism that's caused the problem. pointlessly saying I hope he is ok isnt much help to anyone. so i dont really know what you wanted people to say or do
