Union dock? Why, you want stale coffee?

No doubt..I'll unload my own coffee. I may form a new shortshoreman's
union local 1 at my dock and overpay myself. My vessel is an
uninspected vessel.

If your boat is documented with just a "recreational" endorsement, it
cannot be
used for commerce. For foreign trade, there are additional endorsements
required
as well.- Hide quoted text -

If.....sockpuppet ...you are full of if's

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!


--Rudyard Kipling




You can recite that when you are boarded and they start asking the tough
questions. I'm sure that will clear up the whole mess for you.



If you haven't noticed already, Joe's an arrogant little twit. He thinks his
**** don't stink with this latest amateur effort of his. Little does he know
the chances are good he'll end up losing his arse. There are a number of
reasons for this:

1) his boat's been modified by an amateur (Joe)
2) his boat's heavy and slow
3) his skills are limited to riding shotgun on an OSV.
4) he's got a woman going along - bad luck
5) he actually thinks he's gonna be able to sail most of the way - dream on
6) his business experience is limited to changing the oil at the McDonalds
deep fryer
7) the idiot is going to bucking cold fronts on the return trip - he's gonna
sail north against northerly winds - yah right!
8) steel sweats in the conditions he'll be sailing in. This means a wet
coffee hold. Very good for a nice crop of mold. The idiot doesn't realize he
needs climate controlled holds for coffee.
9) He'll burn up all his projected profit because he'll end up burning way
more diesel than he thinks. His motor is old and will probably fail in such
a way that it cannot be repaired underway. Could mean huge towing bill.
10) November is still hurricane season.

The man's not too bright.
