BTW, care to quantify your earlier position that one *must* have a
$500,000 Nordhavn or better to safely and comfortably cruise Alaska to
the Cortez and back? We'd really like to see you detail why vessels
selling for under $200,000 cannot accomplish that task. And finally, do
you think such a voyage is better handled by power or sail?
You lack the knowledge and physical agility to sail, and you
probably can't afford the type of vessel you truly belong on- a
passenger liner. When a guy from East Outhouse, KS, (with a
boating resume that consists primarily of making up stories about
trailering a 22-foot Bayliner to the Gulf of California and riding out
hurricanes), says he wants to go cruising offshore no responsible
person is going to encourage him to do so. You might consider flying
all around the world and taking some Carnival or NCL cruises. They even
have special venues for seniors. Those monster floating hotels are
large enough that even an aquaphobic might feel comfortable...
Appreciate this demonstration of your knowledge on the subject. It does
tend to reinforce the points some have been noting about you.

Thought I'd try changing the header myself. :-)
Two interesting comments from 1999......
The first, from August 1999....
Gee, sorry there "Skipper" I take it you don't like it when people
actually
notice the distortions you fabricate. FYI DW stands for Dennis Woodcock

that's my name. You really shouldn't manufacture quotes though, it
makes you
look very petty. It's simple enough to cut and paste a quote without
making
one up, just send me an E-Mail if you need help with it, I'll do my
best to
explain it to you. BTW with that Dim Wit crack you've slain me with
your
rapier wit. You are like a genius...only not as smart. :-)
The second, from the same thread........

I've managed to stay neutral on this subject during my 2+ years here,,,but
I do seem to remember Skipper posting about
going to sea with NUMEROUS 5 gallon cans of fuel strapped to the deck of the
Bayliner to extend cruising range.
(I believe it some insane number of jugs,,,,like twenty or more !!)
I remember thinking at the time (@ early last summer) what an odd (and
dangerous !!) sight that must have been,,,,Big Malotov cocktail waiting to
happen!!!.
Still trying to be neutral,, (and testing my memory,,- Auckie
Ahhh, but....
....that alleged trip was in the Gulf of California, *not* an ocean by
any
stretch of even Skipper's imagination.
And forget not, he also claimed to be carrying at the same time an
offshore
life raft. He probably filled it with hydrogen.
All this on a 22' day cruiser with a tiny cockpit astern of the
steering
console.
