Your points are exactly why I think this has been a valuable

to handle a boat, you will not have any water coming on board.

That position is correct only if "knowing how to handle a boat" means
avoiding potential problems by staying out of adverse conditions.
Water will most definitely come aboard in a big way under the right
circumstances. The skill is in avoiding those circumstances.


Ahh, Reggie *Retardo* yet *again*. I doubt I've ever posted that if you
know how to handle a boat, you will not have any water coming on board.

I'm more convinced than ever that *R. Retardo* doesn't have a boat.

Harry Krause,

I am willing to place a $10,000 bet that I do. If you will do the same
about your lobster boat, I will be $20,000 richer.
