Why are these kids going off on these beaufiful sailboats
sailing around the world?   Who is paying for the boats?
I'm befuddled.
One half of the work force in my neck of the harbor is either

Saw this on the Food Network a few minutes ago and had to Google it.  A 19

approvals as steel and aluminum tanks but about half the price of a Seaward

Someone should really put this guy down. He's bragged about attacking innocent girls. He spent time in prison.
