    Find an opportunity to do 3-6 days offshore before you make any large commitment to circumnavigating - having been offshore on a boat a lot, I can say it’s different than you imagine. 

     

    This times infinity billion.

    oh, and g650 - shut the fuck up about 29 days, in advance.  I know that’s slow.  It was a traditionally rigged vessel full of beer and it just wouldn’t go upwind.

    Going upwind is overrated anyway.

    Is Le Cinq the one that got that terrible review?

    No idea. The only pertinent news I've heard over the years is they went down to two stars for a couple years when they had a less than optimal chef, then got their third star back a couple years ago and the current chef is elite.

  3. I'd recommend anyone who gets the chance to eat at Le Cinq once. Way, waaaay overpriced, but an memorable experience. As good of food as you will find anywhere too.

    One place that is a little different and less modern is Brasserie Bofinger over by the Bastille. Alsatian food. Decor is straight Belle Epoque though.

    Unlikely to go anywhere soon - if at all - but what the hell... any of you sailor types wanna wax on about this?

     

    how unrealistic is it to sail around the world ... and I don’t mean be the boss lady. I’d have cash for sure but to get a boat or be on a boat as a helping hand but no where near in charge (and not a hired hand) and see the world in a fuck it I’m out of here sort of way?

     

    I’ve got sea legs so the ocean isn’t the concern. And I assume I can learn enough in a few summers to be a novice on a team. I’d just wonder how much I’d need monthly and whether I could either join a group or if I could hire a guy or two that I liked and they could help us circumnavigate the fucking world. Because fuck this day to day bullshit.

     

    /insert take your wakesurfboat around the globe joke here

     

     

    That's actually not far fetched at all. There's many different avenues, from paying to race like in the Clipper race, to getting hooked up with people who are doing an around the world cruise and looking for another set of hands.

     

    I would't recommend trying to put it together on your own though, that is a heavier load than I can accurately describe here.

    That's the thing,  we are NOT all on the same team.  Any R that's truly for America has left the party...raises hand.  Those who are left would MUCH rather join arms with Russians who also hate browns, gays etc.  So your point sounds great until you break down what exactly is going on.  Not saying deport them, but sure as hell don't coddle them and give some 'yay team' BS...that won't play.

    Also the place is a shithole if you’re judging it vs other 5 star resorts. 

    They always have been. They are like Trump, a poor person's idea of what rich people do.

  7. Fairing the hull for paint finally, fitting out deck. Bulb has been rough cast and is getting ready for CNC milling.

    This grinder pedestal is such a work of art I almost want to put it in my living room instead of the boat!
