African Queen, gin and leeches how can you go wrong.
You forgot the rapids and Bug attack.:yikes:
Much less the German Sharp shooter.

But there was a good "cup of tea", now and then.:)

He makes sailors look like fools.
It is Robert Redford... Looks good doing it.
Sometimes we are.
Did the same with hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Well, lets face it, if RR had done everything just right, there would have been a movie about a guy sailing uneventfully... Would you rather watch that. I thought the point of the movie was a guy, trying to live out a lifelong dream. He was not the most qualified and made mistakes along the way. I'm sure he was feeling desperate and making decisions, maybe not the best ones, to deal with huge hole in his boat. Suffering from exhaustion, common with making a passage, can and will impede decision making, don't you think? The guy made a bad decision. which led to some other mistakes and he sank his boat. You know, I'm a professional plumber, and a pretty damn good one. and I still do stupid S#(+ I could kick myself for. Hell just 2 weeks ago I stabbed myself in the hand with screw driver. Man that hurt! I have 16 feet of work bench 6 feet away from where I was standing when I did it! LOL sometimes we make bad decisions...
