I just read your post with people being cut in half and decapitated and other gory things.
You call that interesting, Joe? Maybe if your a serial killer or a pervert. Rules talk belongs here
more than blood and gore talk. You gotta be careful. When you accuse people make sure your
not guilty of the same thing or worse....


True trailor sailors like you will never encounter anything more
dangerious than a wet butt rash but........ gory things happen at sea,
and I rather talk about a 4" hauser parting and killing a sailor so
perhaps it will instill the importance of never turning your back on a
line under load. That may keep another person from such a preventable,
but too common an accident.

Makes more sence than talking about rowing a sailboat backwards thru
an anchorage any day.

You can chat fantasy all day, and that makes since because you are
your fantasy, have no boat, and never sail.
