We have gotten a lot of emails (but very little sympathy) in responce to our post about the island internet access. Thought we would share one (slightly edited) with the rest of our readers:
Put A COCONUT ON EACH EAR AND YELL. Hummpph, paid three Euro for thirtyminutes of slow internet usage on a French keyboard and din't even say where the blue eyed hammerheaded heck you were !How in the bloody blazes can we live vicariously if we don't know what youre're doing on a day to day basis? We know it's tough scraping salt off yourstern while consuming free lobster and it's a real bummer rechargingyourselves in front of the fire station but don't get snippy with us that'sgot 14 gigs tied up in a map of the bloody drooled all over Caribbean dreamyand wooly minded Sea trying to imaging cramming daily mal de mar pills andcarving salt sores from our imaginary feet and forcing more conch down ourthroats, and, and, and, AAAAARrrrrrrggggggggthhhhh !!!!!!!!!!(Excuse me, sometimes the quiet of the studio gets to me... but, DON'T GIVEME YOUR GRIEF, I'M STILL HERE, HERE,HERE !)I know, I know, don't worry about us. Just straighten your anchor, haveanother French pastry, another bottle of wine, watch another volcano blow,motor on to another island, watch another sunset, eat another barnacle,climb another waterfall, and... NONSENSE ! Stood too many underway watchesand never had computer. Bang out what happened on the last island and dumpit when you get to the Next. Then, your mother will be happy. Get on south, enjoy, and don't let the landlubbersbug you. Fair Winds

I wanted Glenn to know even in jest I have to shudder when I see a reference to Al inventing the internet. He was serious when he said it and it was the first sign that he had lost his direction and most of his mind.
never thought ya'll took this stuff so serously.
