Default Closet Power Boater

You all know who I'm referring to...... Bobsprit. [aka Capt.Rob]

You left out my favorite hand cast Commodore Joe Redcloud Moron


Let's look at the facts:


He requires vast amounts of electricity to power his many
"conveniences"

As all good sailor do. Sailing without jamming to the back street boys,
or NCYNC would be lame.


He considers a vessel poorly equipped if it does not have Air
Conditioning

Indeed, why sweat like pigs. Now all I do is dust my rolls of fat with
the boys baby powder, crank up the AC's and I'm happy and comfortable.


He insists on "Home Theatre" and "Surround Sound" systems aboard.

That right, and if you need to impress the dock crowd noting is better
than leaving the door open and letting them glance in at a real
theatre. Besides I can watch movies like Titanic and it's more real on
my boat.


He never describes the sailing gear on his boats... only engines &
interiors.

Sailing gear is boring, fine veneer and a clean engine matters much
more.


He makes sailboat purchases based on interior volume and speed
potential

The volume of my stereo is important, and I've had he up to 64 knots on
HWY 241. She would do better but all I had was a yard trailor


He does not , nor has ever raced a sailboat despite the instance for
speed.

It is not about racing, it's all about winning.

He believes a swim platform in cold polluted water is a design
improvement

LIS is cleaner than any Canada water, I drink it all the time.

He uses his engine 90% of the time and claims scheduling issues.

I'm a busy movie director, real eastate agent, yacht broker, writer,
photographer, astrologer, and a Mr Mom. I need to get where I'm going
when I want.

He has never had the nerve to fly his spinnaker.....

Liar....what's a spinnaker?

He desires sufficient batteries to run all his "conveniences" & lights
all night.

The night light is for the my boy.....really it is.....really

He considers "Motorsailing" the same as sailing.

It is, ask the commordore.

He is bitterly jealous of Doug's Trawler.

Another lie, Its Dougs life I'm jealous of.

He thinks Mylar sails are better for cruising because they're faster.

And with duct tape stronger!

He thinks Veneer is real wood.

It is real thin wood.

He believes he needs an intercom... because the engine is always on.

Wrong, every capt has an intercom to page crew, you never watch Love
Boat do you?

He requires a genset as basic survival equipment aboard for day sails.

Keeps the CPR equiptment charged and ready.

He considers the size of the head more important than the quality of
the
rigging

My ass needs a quality Commode.


He can't plot a simple course because he doesn't know how to navigate.

Bull, last time I sailed I hat a rock in a charted area.

He thinks we don't know that Conmmode Joe is his sock puppet.

Good Lord Josie not another dopey one

He doesn't realize My Nordica 30 is 10 times the boat his B 35s5 is.

Wrong my 35s5 has done 60kts lately


Come on now Bobsprit... deep down you know you want a Nordhaven
Trawler.

My 35s5 has room for everything

you know you are a Power Boater! Sailing just isn't for you. Make the
wife
happy and buy a big frickin' duel diesel engine 46 footer with a
genset.

She can't afford it:0(

Hooooo Ahhhhhhh you loose..loser

RB
35s5 A boat she could afford
NY


Be Happy!.... Don't Worry!
