Good work, Bob. Not getting into any "technicals" - I can't - it
nice
to see your enthusiasm for your system. I like how you back up your
discussion, whether about sailing or "theatre" with concrete examples
and that you often post photos/video of your actual experience.



The bottom line is that trolls like Martin, Bart, Crantz, Scotty and
the rest don't DO anything. They labor on about sailing, about cars or
whatever, but they are just repeating stuff they heard. You can read
all you want about WRX STI's and Porsche Carerra S4's, but if you
don't drive one then your just full of hot air. I'm essentially a
daysailor doing the occasional overnighter, but I SAIL my boat more
than the folks here. Part of that is my passion for it and the other
part is a series of lucky circumstances that allow me to sail so much.
So in the end Scotty can only complain that I don't do long trips and
Sloco cries that I don't race. They are frustrated by how I play with
my toys, all the while never comprehending that loving sailing is
about the sailing itself. That means I don't care about distances
sailed or even if I'm on a lake aboard a Hobie 16. If you get the
point then racing or raising sail to "get somewhere" are just not part
of the zen. Taking little trips are also fun, but I'd rather just
sail.
As for the pictures, it's so easy to do and always sends the trolls
into a tizzy, but there are also a few here who apperciate some
sailing shots and actual content that's on topic instead of talk about
Corolla's and Sodering Irons.
My cold is history and I'll be sailing tomorrow and the weekend. My
boat is short hauled for a new shaft, so I'll be sailing on a Catalina
30 and hopefully a Santana 30/30 I just sold.

Cheers,
