"one of the most arrogant, know-it-all, narrow-minded,..."

Rubbing it in



Local sailing monthly Latitude 38 has a big boat in the Caribbean now. They have been bouncing back and forth and writing about how nice it is there, like we don't know.



From today's post:



"This has been the best winter of our life, which we attribute almost entirely to our 25th Anniversary Cruise to the Caribbean with Profligate. We've been able to spend about half the time on the cat and half the time back home working. The two biggest things we've noticed:



1) There are so many layers of stress back in the States, particularly California, that we don't think most people appreciate it.



2) Northern California has become one of the most arrogant, know-it-all, narrow-minded, orthodox places we can think of.



Here in the Caribbean, there's a greater sense of freedom, and among the international cruisers, a much greater diversity of opinions and willingness to appreciate the differing views of others."



continued:



"After this month's adventure, we return to the boat in Antigua at the end of April for a day or two of Antigua Sailing Week, then the 1,100-mile trip to Panama, followed by the delivery back to California."
