We were able to get a few sponsors for our trip as well and we'll sure as hell be touting them in the near future. Just in a little more of an organic way with real opinions.

They don't give you the anchors for free (us, and the people you're talking about), they only give a discount on their product.

Later, the restauranteur offers you a free meal if you'll give an honest online review or just mention it in your blog. Would you be a "sell out" if you posted a picture of the food, along with an honest note about your excitement and an explanation of your comp'd meal, before ever taking a bite? <br /><br />I wouldn't judge you if you did. And I certainly wouldn't write a post about you being a sell out on a blog, if I kept one. <br /><br />Focus on the positive aspects of your own situation; You sound like a really cool person, who has created a really cool life. Accusing a fellow sailor of being a sell out-in a very public forum- is unnecessary. Bart Simpsonnoreply@blogger.com
