That's a bit north of Helsinki, Finland.
Man, this low transom issue is becoming an international furor.

Did you look at the photos he posted? The boat is just this side of
decrepit, and the reason water coming in can get to the battery is
because someone removed the hatch that covers the opening in the deck.
He'll fit in well here with the rest of the inlanders.
I looked. Lotsa old crappy boats out there.
You do know I was joking?
Probably the Finn was joining in the fun, but I'm not up on Finns and
their humor.
For the record, I'm not an experienced boater, but given your
experience and your comments I have no trouble with your low transom,
and I think Tom's is even lower.

Yeah, I realized that, and unlike Chuck, I enjoy jokes at my expense. No
one laughs more at me than me. Unfortunately, we have a number of
posters here with an "agenda" that includes trying to make trouble for
me and a few others. The fact that they don't succeed, haven't
succeeded, and never will succeed must cause they a great deal of grief,
eh? :}

I thought Tom was transomless.

Oh...Finns. I worked with one for three years. He had no sense of humor.

Make trouble for you? How can the words of internet sock puppets make
trouble for you? I think you take these posts a little more serious
than you let on. And you of all people should not...



Reread my comment. I said they "try," I did not say they succeeded.
Most of them are permanent residents of my filters, which only save the
headers and the senders' names, not the messages themselves. But a small
percentage of their trash is reposted when others make a comment. Of all
the jerks who post here regularly, I would say "Dan" and "John Herring"
are the saddest sacks. They appear to be completely obsessed with me,
and I don't even have nice tits.
