Sailing is a slow and outmoded form of transportation which
usually
results in going around in circles while cursing power boaters.
I'd
rather fly to where I'm going than waste my time slogging around
with
something like that.
Well, sailing doesn't have to be slow...I saw one sailboat out in
San
Diego in 2008 that could sail circles around your barge...she
just won
the America's cup.
I enjoyed my sailboat the three years on the bay I had her. She
*was*
not very fast.

Naw. I'd rather fly. My round trip to costa rica cost me about $370
in
airfare, and took about seven hours in the air. Once there, did
plenty
of boating and fishing. To me, being where I want to be is a lot
more
fun than slogging my way there. To each his own
You still cannot think in the abstract, eh, s.f.b.?
Sailing around on a relatively small body of water, like Chesapeake
Bay,
was fun for me when we did it. Taking a slow trawler barge to get to
Costa Rica would not be fun for me, now or back then. I wanted to
get to
C.R. so I could enjoy my time off *there*, not waste my off getting
there. And, as I have posted many times, "to each his own."
With a couple of breaks, this summer one of my clients will want me to
attend a week-long meeting in Geneva. It's very tentative at the
moment,
but...I hope to fly to London, grab the Eurostar to Paris, and then
the
Lyria TGV to Geneva. On the way back, we'll rent a car so we can see
some more of Switzerland and a decent part of France. High speed
planes,
high speed trains, lower speed car... :)
You know, to each his own.

You just don't mind making yourself look like a complete idiot, do
you? Do you honestly think that one single person believes you here
after all of the lies you've told?
Hehe... Geneva... he's funny....
No, not a soul here believes one word he writes. Even his buddies...
they just won't admit it. Now, if he said he *wasn't* going to Geneva,
I'd think that he was. What a putz that boy is.

He doesn't care what nayone here thinks. Yeah, right.
Wait...you think I should care what people I don't know and never will
meet who post in a usenet newsgroup think? People who post with an
alias? People who are right-wing trash? I'm supposed to care what people
like you think? Why?
One of the remaining advantages of this country is that it is fairly
large. The odds are in my favor that I'm never going to encounter you or
your fellow teabaggers in the real world. Heck, the odds are in my favor
that I'll never encounter john herring in person again, and we both live
in the same general area. In fact, I haven't seen that particular chunk
of racist right-wing trash since...the summer of 2003, nearly seven
years ago. He was an unpleasant prick then, and as he's aged and
deteriorated further, has only gotten worse.
Ta-ta.
That prick would not go boating with me, and I really wanted him to be
my friend. I mean, I just wanted anyone would would go boating with me.
As it was, I had to sell me Big Parker, and trade it in for my Little
Low Transom Parker.
By the way, the fact that I try to live a Walter Mitty existence in
rec.boats does not mean I am desperately seeking emotional support in
rec.boats. NO IT DOESN'T.
