Can't you be fined for damaging coral? I thought that was the norm
these
days. Seems like you shouldn't be anchoring where you can do
damage, so
that leaves sand, mud, and rocks (which sounds hard, no pun
intended).

Depends where you lay anchor. But if you were a boater you would
know
that. But as usual, just a dumb she-it ...

Hey bozo... please tell us where you can put your anchor (assuming
you had
one of course) on coral where you wouldn't damage it. I'm sure there
are
some places where you wouldn't be caught or where the locals don't
care,
but
since you're not going to be going to any of those places...

As usual, you demonstrate just how asinine you really are.

It turns out that there are stray bits of coral in many, many places.
They are scattered around the bottom like small rocks, are very sharp
and abrasive, and impossible to avoid in some areas. Since they are
not part of a living coral reef there is no real need to avoid them.

You have much to learn and should avoid being overly critical of those
who try to explain things to you.

I have no doubt that coral exists in lots of places. Seems to me that
you
can almost always avoid them if you're careful.

You said that "there is no real need to avoid them," but in the
previous
sentence said that they "are very sharp and abrasive." Seems to me that
there is a real need to avoid them.

As far as being overly critical, that's a reaction to the low-brow,
mean-spirited attitude of Canuck and a few others. I don't think I've
been
overly critical of you or Greg or others who have been civil and
helpful. If
you claim that I have "much to learn" (which I'm not disputing), then
it
seems to me if you want to contribute to my learning, one should be
civil
and not an ass.

Between the two of you, Wayne B is not the ass.


The little bitch wants us to be nice to her and teach her stuff? She
needs to do an attitude reversal before that will happen.

Well said.


Well said misogynistic asshole. You left off the two last words.
