yea, we are already big time travelers so for the next 12 or so months just getting everything set up and ready to go. Might even do a sailboat for a year or so, just depends. Have a lot of stuff to settle first, like some of the kids moving the fuck out first.
My mom had a married friend I remember from when I was little and they sold all their stuff and bought a sailboat to sail around the Caribbean from port to port for years. My mom lost touch with her and I wonder if they still are to this day lol. Sounds amazing.

We've been on sailboats many times, one of my cousins owns one in Florida, plus all the excursions we do on cruises. but those SOB's are expensive as hell, and I refuse to finance shit anymore, so not sure it's going to work or not

So last night I gained a percy qual and 10 hits in I lost the qual, it gave me a 50 score and took the qual. I emailed and explained kindly that I take my work seriously, that I apologize for the substandard content of my work, and if possible, I would love to know ho to improve my work and the error I was making. Even if I can not regain the qual, because the knowledge would help to improve my future performance. Just saw an email in my inbox that the hit was broken and my qual was replaced, glad I didn't just shrug it off.
This! ^^^

I can't emphasize the effectiveness of contacting requesters more than this. From overturned rejections, re-issues quals, to unexpected bonuses, I've received some great outcomes from spending a couple of minutes carefully writing an email.

you know what maybe they did make a mistake, but then again at least they tried.
Edit: after reading the story, yea they were idiots. I read that story on a sailboat forum and they were ripping pretty hard on them.
I've never known a 'Tanner' that hasn't' failed spectacularly in some form or another. At least they covered their losses through e-begging, I guess.
