Default It finally hit me.

Horass,

Don't try and insult your betters. Neal is 100 times the
sailor you are, and that is NOT saying much at all.

I never chicken out but I DO INSIST on setting the race course.
Some people have the cheek to say I don't sail and never leave
the mooring, etc. but they're wrong. I sail so much that some
little sheltered water day trip is not my idea of sailing anymore.
I like oceans and long distances single-handing. I like boat and
master to work as a team over long periods of time and strong
winds with big seas derived from hundreds or thousands of miles
of fetch. I don't like to see readings on my depth sounder for
extended periods of time and I like to see 20-30 knots on my
anemometer. If I'm gonna hafta spend my time racing some wannabe
klutz then I insist on making a voyage out of it - not some silly
around the buoys flim-flamery.

I've no interest in racing some crummy little inland course. That's
for lubbers like Bobsprit, LOCO, Pony Express, Horvath, Ganz,
Katysails, Mooron, Oz1, Donal, Navigator, Haggie, Jeff Morris,
Shen44, onnmbrd, Joe Butcher, Billy Jane, etc. etc. So, please
don't insult me with anything less than a race of at least five hundred
miles with mostly open water.

This is good. I gotta mark this. Pimple Pieman is leaving the
mooring ball.
