sudden onset tostitos

I'm afraid to even ask......

The short version is that we had a poster here by name of Skipper who
claimed to encounter sudden and mighty storms in his 22' Bayliner while
cruising in the Gulf of California. Storms with 25-foot waves or some
such nonsense, and he was constantly bragging about his seamanship and
the seakeeping abilities of his boat. He was sort of like Wayne B. in
his braggadocio, but was at times a more entertaining writer.

In case you didn't know, Wayne and his floating RV came through the
perfect storm in fine order, the perfect storm being 1991 Halloween
Nor'easter that hit North America in October 1991, and sank the steel
fishing vessel Andrea Gail, who were lost 575 miles at sea. Since then,
Wayne has been a really scared skipper, too afraid to run inlets that
even 16-foot Carolina Skiffs transit.
