Motor-head boaters seem to become immune to their own noise and air
pollution. I guess they smell the exhaust fumes and hear the cacophony so
often and so long that their sense of smell and their hearing modifies so
they can't smell or hear it anymore.

Why else would some of them be so rude as to arrive in an anchorage and
anchor UPWIND of everybody and then run a smelly diesel generator all day
and all night just so they can have plenty of electricity for all the
household crap they have on board. I just wish people like that would STAY
home. What's the use of sailing when you float the farm, so to speak? You
ruin the experience for most of the other travelers and are too selfish to
understand what you're doing?

I'm hoping that if (when?) we work out the details, you wouldn't let
that happen to us!

Rest assured, I will find us a nice quiet anchorage all of our own with no
motorboats within miles. I got your email that you will be working on
details later on when things become more concrete.

As my brother would say, "Bitchin!" :-)

Neither of us are interested in motor smell. I'm going to email you
later hopefullly with some more details.



Take an example a lubber might understand. A lubber goes to a campground
in
a State Park and sets up his little tent in the woods and hopes to have a
good time cooking over the campfire, perhaps catching a fish in the stream
and enjoying the ambience. And, along comes a giant motor home that parks
right upwind from his campsite, blocks most of the view, runs a smelly,
noisy generator all night long, plays loud music, has a couple of dogs
that
bark all night, throws his trash and cigarette butts all over the place,
empties his holding tank on the ground, disgorges a couple of motorbikes
and
blasts them, without mufflers, through the woods around and around for
hours
(equivalent to a jet-ski) etc. Would the tent camper want to shoot the
inconsiderate *******? You bet he would. Yet motor boaters and some of the
larger sail boaters seem to think this sort of crap is cool and other
boaters will envy them and enjoy their presence. Freaking LUNATICS!

Oh... land lubber. Ok... confused me for a minute.

Exactly though... pick up your sh*t. I mean HELLO?


Yup, land lubbers are mostly what one sees these days out here on the water.
They are like cockroaches - you can't stamp them out. I just wish they would
stay ashore where they belong. They have no respect for anything. They use
the water as their 'getaway' and they think their 'fun' comes first over the
RIGHTS of others. Such a selfish attitude and totally out of place on the
water.

Here is a good example for you of just how awful some of these jerks really
are. Two fishermen were arrested a few months ago for cutting the pouch of a
couple of pelicans because they claimed the pelicans were eating *their*
fish. Duh. I would say the fishermen where catching and eating the pelican's
fish. A cut pouch causes the pelican to slowly starve to death because when
they dive on a fish the pouch doesn't contain it. The fish escapes out the
slit in the pouch. Maybe the fishermen are the ones who needed their
throats cut.

I don't see how anyone could be so cruel. That's really a sad story.
