What I don't understand is why a small number of posters in this NG
feel a need to fling mud at Joe.

Hi, Doug, and group,
I literally laughed out loud at that. Joe's a latecomer. I'm
considering losing weight, encasing the mud I've accumulated over the
years in epoxy, wriggling out of the resultant shell, and putting it
overboard for a mooring :{))
**** (well, mud, if you prefer), folks were taking potshots at me from
the time we even started exploring the concept of a boat, as Jere and
Rosalie will recall, nearly, or over, I'm not positive which, 10 years
ago. That's partly where the boat name came from - at every stage, it
was, "Yeah, right, you'll never (insert define, find, buy, refit,
sail, cruise, repair, passagemake) any boat!" :{)) It was bad enough
that I had the temerity, in one of my more depressed moments, having
just fulfilled one of those requirements, to cut and paste one of the
prior feces-laden posts and gave a raspberry :{)) Today, I usually
don't bother pointing out the obvious, other than to pull Wilbur's
chain occasionally.
As I used to say in another group, long ago, y'all have fun; I'm
accustomed to the flames and have a crispy crust, so don't notice more
of them. Once in a while, I invite my fellow roastees up on the
barbie with me :{))
Today, it's going to be another hot one in the Miami area, so I'll
dive my hull after we get the holding tank emptied, in prep for our
passage to Fernandina Beach, where we'll put the boat on the ground
for a while. The hot will allow me to come up cold but feel good in
the sun...
