Default Really Bad News II-Details


I doubt Bob comprehends the basic abilities of his electronic
navigation
instruments.

I get plenty of use out of the Ipod!


My radar can and has picked up a 5 gallon bucket at 200 meters.


My radar is still in the closet (like Ganzy) and I can't tell you how
many boats were lost this season to bucket impacts.


I cannot understand why anyone would have taken Bob's "scenario" as
anything
more than an excercise to spur debate.


Because they're my bitches?


Everyone knows his lack of skill with
navigation. He has claimed so himself. Everyone knows he never sails at

night

Not true. I just don't bother to take many pics of our night sails. We
usually start our sails late in the day and return after dark most of
the time.

... [ever since he got lost and confused at a well lit harbour
enterence one dark and dreary evening.]

Wow....well lit AND dark and dreary. That's the same harbor the NE
Cruising guide warns is tricky at night, folks.


The obvious telltale was that he
made himself the "hero" in this scenario.


Now you're thinking!!!


You folks need to lighten up a little.......


Now that IS funny!


you wasted an obvious chance
to render a sound thrashing to Capt Rob due to some unreasoned thinking
that
this post had any truth to it at all.


Amazing though, hmmmm?

He's hooked the bunch of you once
again with little to no effort. Ozone saw right through it.... so did
I.


But you always get jelous and take the bait anyway, Mooron.


.... and Bob.... a fricken Dory is a "Type" of boat that some
dickweed
decided to use for a brand in your region.


There is no "brand" Dory that I know of accept Cape Dory. I made that
up.


If you don't explain the type of
vessel and use a brand name instead.... it's just poor formulation.


Which is the barb on the hook.


Maybe you should have stated a sailboat was
hit by a large motorboat.


Vas ya dere, Charlie?


I spent the weekend sailing the South Western shore. No sounder no
compass
no GPS.

Blew the budget on that camera, eh?

Overproof performed
really well.

Uhhh...okay. That's nice.


I'll try and load up some photos I took with the Nikon D200. [Yes
Bob... I take my camera out sailing with me.]

The D200 has weather sealing, but in anything but calm weather, it's
best to swap lenses below or in a bag. You might also invest in a
Pelican case for it so it's moisture levels are typically constant.
Should you strike a Dory being towed by a trawler, it'll also float!

And you thought I'd never answer your post!
