Yup, when I mentioned to a dock neighbor that we sailed into the slip one
night, he was amazed.

Reminds me of the powerboaters(and a few sailors, I might add) staring at
me
in incredulity as I sailed up. Couldn't figure out why, until as I was
leaving I saw 4 of the powerboaters assist a fellow motor head backing
into
the dock. Incredible.You would think that a powerboater would figure out
how
to maneuver his boat under power.

You are the epitome of a dockside expert with nothing to say in regards
to
sail or boating. You can't sail and you barely are capable of motoring.
You
have no clue as to what constitutes a quality sailboat and don't have
the
capability to employ one to it's full capacity if you did have one.

In short you have attained the level of the pecking order here that will
now
keep you occupied with elbowing Horvath, Simon and bertie for attention.

Reading you wax professional on sailing matters is sufficient to induce
projectile vomiting.... get a new script writer.
