My fine blue water yacht and I have been through 4 tropical storms

What kind of boat do you have?


Forget that. I want to know: what are the odds? Since tropical
storms out number hurricanes what ... 10-1.


I hope you aren't foolish enough to be calling me a liar.


I don't know. What do you call an individual who posts with a
fictitious name from a bogus web site and claims to own Roy Disney's
modified 68 ft. Swan, Pyewacket?

And, for your information, all hurricanes ARE tropical storms but not
all tropical storms are hurricanes. Gotcha!

So, don't make me mad or I'll have to post the list. I've been sailing
since 1985 and can reconstruct the list from my whereabouts all those
years. I can use this:

Or, I think I have a copy of it saved to CD or on the hard drive of an
old laptop.


i.e., figure out where the storms had been and then claim to have been
there?

You will remember that you were asked where you had cruised and that
you replied that you wouldn't unveil your cruises because they were
for your satisfaction only.
