Why is rec.boats.cruising suddenly packed with real assholes like
Bob?

nothing sudden about it...

I'm not sure sailing is anywhere near as safe as it used to be when
everybody in a marina would go crazy looking for someone overdue or
pitch right in to save a sinking yacht whos owner is 300 miles away.
You used to go down the docks and greet every person you meet,
usually taking an hour to get from the parking lot to your electric
box because you'd get sidetracked talking to someone you struck up a
friendly conversation with who offered to crank up his coffee pot or
open his liqour locker as it WAS after lunch and the sun WAS under
the yardarm, after all. Whatever project you were doing got put on
hold to help your neighbor whos anchor winch stopped about halfway up
the pile of chain laid out on the dock and three of you decided to
pitch in an overhaul it for him in trade for some booze and a
friendly dinner at some bistro or other. What happened to all that?

Make sure you're around in March/April '11 and name your bistro and
your poison.

You can help me work out what needs fixing and I can supply the
alcohol and food.

Seriously, though, I'm now down to 25 sleeps to retirement and on
track for East Coast USA next year.

Aha! There ARE some sailors left! We'll be standing on the dock to
help the line handlers tie her up when she arrives.....(c;]
