And I will. You're the one who insists that surely everyone must be
envious of you.

The responses like yours prove it. If folks felt good about how they
sailed and what they sailed, they'd never bother with me.

Personally, I don't envy your boat or your sailing
area

Yeah....suuuuurrrr you don't!!!

and given a choice between daysailing 4 or 5 days a week, or
cruising 6-7 weeks every summer with an occasional full year cruise,


I think I'll do both, which is what we have planned in about 3-4 more
years.


I'll take my life style every time.

No style at all and no choice for you either.


And what fact is that? The only defense you've stated is that you
mis-used the term "VMG to Windward."

Yup, and you've been smart to argue about this for 4 days? Yep, you're
a genius!


Of course I knew that's the mistake you were making.


AHHHHH HAHHHHHH! SO BUSTED!!!! SO NOW you admit that you understood
what I was saying, even if it was phrased wrong. So NOW your whole
sad-ass position is based on your belief that I don't or didn't know
what VMG to windward is/was???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I claim that you
didn't understand the difference until someone explained it to you
last night.

Yippeee deee! This is RICH!


The event is simply that you mis-used a very precise and commonly
used
term, and failed to see your blunder for about 20 posts.

As you've just admitted, you KNEW what I meant and I certainly felt
that you did as well. So now your saying that I didn't DRAW it OUT for
you straight off?? BWAHAAHHAHA! Okay!



In other words, when the essential issue was whether the mark was
directly to windward, or just somewhere to windward of the course, you
got it wrong and then failed to correct yourself.

I certainly did correct myself, but I didn't go back and spot the error
either. You just seemed to be making it up. In fact your WHOLE argument
is based on phrasing that YOU UNDERSTOOD from the start, even if I
phrased it impropperly! You sure got me there, dude! You sure sewed
this one up. Don't be embarassed. Be ASHAMED!


Your original post did not mention a mark. When you then mentioned
a
mark I assumed it must be a distant mark directly upwind.

My original post was a repeat of Bob L.'s comment on our progress to a
mark to windward. I did not anticipate some dottering freak to bust a
pipe over a phrase...which he now admits he UNDERSTOOD from the get-go!
Dude, could you have dropped your panties in a more obvious way?


Until then, this is a big win for me.

What did you win? Lay your hand on it, boy!

LOL!!!!!!! Perhaps my best work here EVER!
