Gee Wilbur, could you please cite one example of Joe "bragging"
perhaps you mistake working on boats as bragging? Not sure where you
got that, I looked and could not find it.


I guess you don't remember the boasting about running a OSV to the rigs and
all the rough weather your were required to slog through all the time
delivering supplies? Though you tried to act like you were the captain it
was evident you were just a lowly deck hand.



Again you're a liar as usual. You know you have never used your
licences for anything other than wall paper.
Care to provide proof? Naaaa just dream up another lie, say that
beneth you or something, we all know you are a failure at anything to
do with sailing.


Moi? A liar? Perish the thought! It's just that my personal boat work
history is nobody's business but my own or potential employer's which there
will be no more of since I have officially retired having made my fortune.

Never had a sinking. Never had an abandonment. Never abided a weak crew.
Never failed to complete a voyage. Never felt the need to share all the
mundane details. Unlike the majority of those these days who call themselves
sailors, I don't require an audience. Sailing is the means and the end, the
alpha and the omega and all you wannabes be damned!

You're no sailor until you understand this.

Tonnage??? Pahteuy! Means nothing if you can't even reach your destination
without foundering. A 10 GT captain who makes a successful passage is 100
times the sailor as the 1000 GT captain who fails to complete the voyage and
founders.


Your boat is a perfect example of your failing to do well at
anything. No one in his right mind would live on such a small little
cheap flimsy boat with a broken boom and **** bucket for a head unless
thats the best they could do.


You must be thinking about the world famous Capt. Neal. He was a fictional
character. I am Wilbur Hubbard and I sail an Allied Seawind 32 ketch.

Kind of like the guy bragging about his two circumnavigatins on hi 68
foot boat, isn't it? ****head!
