Jax (here after referred to as Doodles) calls everyone a fraud .... to begin
with.
One learns quickly when dealing with Doodles, to take most of what he says as
the ramblings of a "Wannabe" who still hasn't decided what exactly he
"Wannabe".
For instance .... he still thinks that planes and boats react the same and that
the FAA is the only authority on navigation and all things "boating".
Doodles is the guy you'll see coming into an anchorage with his wireless
computer on his lap doing a "google" search for the Physics of tidal
computations versus proper catenary for various chain sizes, versus boat
displacement under given wind conditions using three strand or plaid line of
nylon or dacron poly of so many feet versus so many feet of chain with a
Fortress, Danforth, Navy standard, etc. anchor...... who ends up beaching,
cause he forgot to steer by compass (and we all know what Doodles thinks of
compasses) and couldn't trust his 4 GPS and two DGPS.
