Default Jeff...the Sailor???

Scotty actually quoted a real report. Not a made up one.


Sorry, Jeff. 1010 WINS and 102.7 weather both reported potential gusts
to 35 and 40 MPH.

For most
people, there is a difference.

Yeah, max wind gusts were only 28 MPH. That's great weather for a 35s5
to be flying full main and genny!


Why would anyone brag about that? Did you make it?

Nope, but it has led to a great situation for me!

People are rightfully proud of their accomplishments. Only
jackasses
brag about acquisitions.


You're not proud of you vessel and the research and effort it took to
choose her? You're not proud of your efforts to keep her ship-shape?
You're not proud of your boat?
That's really sad, Jeff. I can't agree with you at all. Any time your
efforts lead to a nice success, even in an acquisition, it is certainly
an accomplishment. I'm not saying you should be overly proud of picking
a ripe melon, but a yacht in it's entirety is something much different.
Either you didn't think your statement through, or you and I feel
exactly the same about the PDQ 36.
