I do not run an antiStowe website  I created a blog that has put to bed many rumors about the man  I have presented facts on that blog and invited anyone to challenge them  No one has challenged the facts    I have not met Reid Stowe  Im sure he is a very nice person and as Ive said before Id love to buy him as beer and shoot the shit with him  I heard great things about him when I attended Soanyas homecoming party and talked to his friends Hes got very dedicated friends and Im sure he sounds like a very personable guy  but this is about sailing  No it is not  Stowe spent more time drifting than sailing  At one point he admits he put up a sail for the first time in  months  I am an avid sailor all my life  I have cruising and racing experience  Ive been on then Eastern Shore in late October anchored and listening to the Canadian Geese landing at  in the morning while the kerosene heater blazed away  Im also a bowman for over  years of competitive racing  Ive raced around the buoys on Wednesday nights and also been on the bow at national events back when Js were a hot OD OS class  Now Im on a sport boat that jumps up on a plane and goes  knots  Im a sailor and loving it every frickn day  I am also a father Divorced and have a great relationship with my ex wife who I love dearly  Have a great relationship with my kids too  Crazy concept  have kids and take responsibility emotionally and financially  My kids and I are cool  My daughter calls me when shes getting shit from boys on Facebook and I put those young men in their places My son still hugs me when he walks off the football field covered in snowy mud  SoWhat has Reid done for humanity  Tried to make a quick buck smuggling pot abandoned responsibility as a father his daughter and new son all in the name of doing the greater good for humanity  Im not buying it  This is a poignant quote from Reid when asked What is it that you are teaching us    I titled the voyage the Mars Ocean Odyssey   Days at Sea After I decided I was no longer going to go for  days I was going to go further  And after I realized really hardly anyones into the Mars Voyage but I was getting a lot of love  So I said you know Im changing it to the Love Voyage Cause its loving is being here    And love is what sustains me So a lot of my message is family love and if you love under every circumstance in your life then you can help the world and help yourself the most and that whatever dream you have youre inspired to do it through the power of love and by turning in to our greater powers so that people can help the world and help themselves     This is something every one can do  So that is sort of my message  Should we alter the article to reflect that the Mars thing didnt get enough interest in the press and it became the Love Voyage  Not good  The truth shows the subject changing the mission because no one really cared about the original purpose even though he spent  years selling the Mars angle  So  Can we get back to the real discussions here or is this article going to be a big billboard for a guy who needs donations  PM me Green Cardomom  Ill send you my address so you can send me checks once a month to cover my child support payments  My financial obligations to my kids are interfering with my dreams
