Chuck here is an e mail I received from Grind TV: obbyscuba,

chuck kirkpatrick has added a reply to one of the comments on the blog post, "Remote location hampers rescue effort involving teen sailor Abby Sunderland":

""Effing white people..."? What in the world does a racial slur do to beneifit this discussion other than to demonstrate your ignorance?"

Where did you see I wrote that? . I wrote "Congratulations on a successful trip. I know you learned a lot about yourself and you went as far as you could go. When things went sour you handled it. That is a success to me and to most people. You are mislabeled when you are referred to as a 16 year old girl sailing around the world. More appropriate would be an experienced sailor.... You have a lot more to learn about life but you already know more than the average person will ever learn."
I am an older female (60+) who has been a commercial whitewater river guide licensed in Idaho and Utah, and for fun took a one person inflatable kayak the length of the Grand Canyon, USPA parachute instructor D-3255, Master Instructor SCUBA PADI MI 86282, licensed pritate pilot FAA 42224608 , climbed (strenuous hike really) Mt Whitney, highest mountain in the lower 48, 3 times solo includung in the winter. and ride a motorcycle. As you can see I support living to the fullest and reaching for the stars instead of just existing.
Please let me know hwere you saw I wrote that garbage. obbyscuba at yahoo dot com. Not sure if they remove e mail addresses when the computer sees one so you can see what it is.
