Got a call from Skip on my cell asking for a boatyard in
Charleston.


Steering problems this time. The wheel turns...the rudder
doesn't....hydraulics.


They're at Ross Marine on the ICW south of Charleston, tonight. No
reports
yet on what the yard has found as they got their late after a long
tow
in
the harbor and down the ICW.


I've never met a man so patient with anything. His fuse is WAY
longer
than
mine! I'd have jumped overboard by now.


Ross'll fix it. They fix our boat just fine. Then, they'll put
back
to
sea, again. Just thought you'd like to know.....


I'll go see them on Saturday if they're still in the yard. I have
two
sick
church organs needing my expert attention tomorrow. When he
called,
today,
I was eating lunch in a little diner in Greeleyville, SC, with a
couple of
local farmers struggling to make a living after handing their
profits
over
to the oil barons to run the tractors. Lots of farms are just
sitting
unused now. Poor little town is all but closed down, people moving
away
looking for work like in the 30's. Rosey economy isn't reality in
the
countryside at these fuel prices.


That Flying Pig is run by the biggest bunch of stupid losers I ever
heard about. They give sailors a bad name. I wish they'd just
realize
they can't handle it and quit before they end up dead.

garbage directly...

Skip, fixed up and ready to go again

Cruising is Boat Repair in exotic locations...


Nope, I'll just continue to point out your stupidity and ineptitude
here. Some people might enjoy your buffoonery but some don't, myself
included. Your attitude towards cruising makes a mockery out of
something that should be taken seriously.

"Cruising is Boat Repair in exotic locations" only proves your attitude
is a joke. Get serious before you and your crew come to serious grief.
One of these days you'll find there's nobody around to rescue you. You
won't think everything's a big joke then.
