Jeeeeze. I had assumed that you had a motor boat.

Thats one of your problems lanod, your always assuming.


Your boat has a keel, fer cripes sake! It may have windage, but the keel
will resist the windage.

The marina is so shallow I have to pull my keel board up Lanod. So
you assumed again.

Hey! Don't blame me if you can't afford a proper slip!

My slip has the best view on the lake, also have approx 1500 square
feet of dock for my stuff. I can park my cars and truck 30 feet from
the boat. I have my own palm trees and only one other live aboard on
the island. Lots of privicy great fishing, crabbing, and space to keep
the dink in the water.


I've already suggested a way for you to save money.




I often see clumsy oafs, like you, in our marina. They engage full
forward, and then full reverse. They seem to have no feel for the
boat's
handling at all.

Who said anything about full throttle forward or reverse Loanod?
another assumption?

You did, Eoj. You crashed into a neighbour's boat with enough force to
cause physical damage to their vessel. We've all seen people like you in
our marinas.

Lanod, Ive had a 1000 times more time at sea and manuavering boats
than you will ever have. There fore I have had more chances for things
to go wrong.
Some day if you ever go sailing for more than a day or two at a time
you might get a grasp on this concept.



No sense of delicacy, no feeling for how the boat behaves, and a blind faith
in the power of the engine.


Yeah your a delicate little ******, I can make any boat dance circles
around you.


I recently saw a guy hit 5 boatsas he tried to park hi boat.

Lay of the shirley temples Lanod, Its effecting your typing



At least he
hit them all fairly gently, and no real damage was done. He admitted that
it was the first time that he had sailed. What's your excuse?


Re-read the post lanod. It was a mechanical error the linkage came
off the transmission.



So your between 3 story buildings, that funnel wind, in shallow water?
Wind hits you broadside going into your narrow slip huh?

Emmmm, that's not very far from the truth.

Show us a sattalite photo lanod, lets see how confined your slip is, I
will post a photo of my slip.




Now, we put the engine into neutral about 100 yards from the slip,

That must be nice to have a hundred yards to coast in and set up a
turn.

You should try it. Sailboats are good at it. Powerboats are not good at
it.


How would you know?




and just
glide in. The engine is rarely used at all after that, apart from the
final
burst astern.

OH MY GOD a BURST astern.... Call the Harbor master and chief
Yachtmaster.
How many tons do you stop with your burst astern Lanod?

What a stupid question!! The tonnage that is stopped is relative to the
horsepower available. I suspect that you have much more HP available than I
have.

Yeah I have more boat, and more HP and more skill than you will ever
have.







When my younger son was only 9 years old he was able to do it to
perfection.
Maybe you should get some lessons???


Is he a physic yachtmaster like you?

You're drunk, aren't you?



Maybe, but I still can not navigate without any external imput like
you the yachtmaster wannabe, But hey, I know how to use a radar.




Really, Joe, you are an embarrassement to real sailors. You are trying
to
park your boat as if it was a big powerboat.


It is. And its a big Sail boat. Thats why I always call it a Motor
Sailing Vessel. Nice solid floor boards to, how's about your boat.

Ask Boobie.


Why? We all know bentatoes are crappy cheap buildt boats with loose
floorboards.
