But, I wonder how hooking up such a bunch of losers can be much fun
considering they're the bottom rung of the boarding ladder...



There are some real sailors here....

Jeff, though he sails a Cat, actually takes long trips. Mooron
certainly uses his Nordica. Ozzy's health is troubled, but he gets out
there otherwise. I tease John Cairns about his Catalina 28, but he's
clearly out there having fun. Old Thom retired from sailing and made
excellent use of his Capital Yachts PH boat. Scotty, up until this
season, cruised his little 30 footer plenty. I hope he doesn't give up
on sailing. I really have no idea if Sloco sails, but I sure as hell
know that Doug doesn't. In fact the only boat Doug ever had appeared to
be some toy boats and a Hunter 19. How anyone could own a Hunter 19 is
simply a question for an old parrot somewhere. A Seaward sure looks
nicer to my eyes.
But as my surveyor friends are fond of saying, there's always one
asshole in every yard that thinks he knows more than they do. That
"asshole" will give out bad advice and care not if it's true or not or
applicable. He just needs to hear himself pontificate. Doug fits that
to a T, even if he doesn't know it. I actually think he responds to my
silly posts because he does know it...and he knows that I know it...and
he can't stand it.
Ah, well. We're planning on sailing most of the week and next weekend.
I hope most of you can get out there. August was an awesome sailing
month on the Long Island Sound.
