Default Doug's World, Excellent!

I don't get
into all the discussions about which boat is faster, better, whatever
or
who has what because it really doesn;t matter to me. I';m just glad I
have a sailboat and wish we could be on her more. Life is what life
is,
though, and sometimes you have to just go with it.



Katy, I agree 100%. It isn't about the quality of the boat, or how
fast it is or anything like that. It's enjoying and sharing the way
that feels best for the individual.
BUT.
You should be able to see by now that most of the folks here ARE more
interested in the "blather" and the more obvious the troll, the more
quickly they grab the bait. Then they go on an on about my
credibility, lies, and finally claiming they are the ones trolling me.
It's funny stuff and even this very open admission to it all changes
nothing. They will return again and again for as long as I like.
People like Sloco, Doug and Scotty are like my Margaret Dumont of the
Marx Brothers. They are always part of the joke and yet somehow never
get it. They believe that if there's five of them "against" me, then
they must have the upper hand. In truth, like the curls of Samson, my
reach and grip intensifies with each added opponent. They try to douse
fire with gasoline and are usually burned. There are clever exceptions
of course. Ozzy sees right through it all and I actually believe Jeff
does as well. Jeff does eventually get ticked off with me though.
Sloco, Scotty, Doug and a few others are like George Foreman rope-a-
dopes to my Ali-like stinging shots.
So hasn't it been long enough? How many times can the same scenerio
replay? I don't know. Sometimes I get bored and leave for a while.
You'd be very surprised to know who asks me to return

In any case....I do hope you got some sailing in. The LIS had about
the best sailing weather I've seen in memory. Everyone's been talking
about it. BTW, swim platforms ROCK!
