so what good is your boat to you, except as a resale

item, if you

become an amputee?

Ignorant girl. Tell that to Tristan Jones who wrote

some

good sailing

books including "Outward Leg". He was an amputee.

I'll bet he would have traded his boat for a good leg,
anyday.

And *that* was Katy's point,

Nope. You're wrong. Her point was just like she said. Get

your leg

amputated between boat and dock and then you've gotta sell

your boat.

It's no good to you anymore except for resale. How can you

possibly get

what you said out of what she said? She seems to think

amputees can't be

sailors. It ain't nice dissing the handicapped. Acting

like a one-legged

man's got nothing going for him. Needs to be sitting in a

wheel chair or

the like. She's ignorant. And you're just like her. So

why don't you

mind your own beeswax.



My take was that her point was, better to smash up your boat
than to lose a limb.

Beeswax, grandpa?

Like I said, don't bother....he's nothing but used Charmin....
