While you're on the subject of ecology Wilbur, would you mind telling
us
why you think dumping your pee and turds into coastal waters is OK.
I believe he has a 2 cycle outboard also, talk about oil in the water.
The Tohatsu 6HP is a four-stroke motor and meets Ultra Low emission
standards.
Not only that, but it is rarely used - unlike your diesel boat which
uses
the engine every time it gets underway. My sailing yacht moves about
98% of
the time under sail. Your diesel boat moves 100% of the time under the
pollution-making diesel. You should be ashamed of yourself.
And, probably even when you're not underway, you're running a diesel
powered
generator. So, in effect, you pollute 24/7 when you're out cruising.
So, stop trying to change the subject. Just admit your irresponsible and
selfish attitude concerning your willingness to pollute the very air we
breathe just because you honestly feel your recreation is more important
than our health.

Ah Willie-boy but you are rationalizing your need for a motor, aren't
you. A famous (armchair) sailor like you admitting that he needs a
motor. I'm ashamed of you.
Better read another book to teach you how to sail without a motor and
then you can be 100%.
Cheers,
Bruce

I didn't see him rationalizing anything like that. He said he uses it
rarely and appropriately. How is that a rationalization?
At best it is rationalization. for one who frequently extols his great
skill in pure sailing to be found out to have a (Ugh) motor and to
admit that he uses it appropriately... How can one who is such a
skilled sailor use a motor appropriately?
Given that, they say, life is a learning process, perhaps you would
like to take a look at the dictionary:
Hypocrite:
A person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she
does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives
Or perhaps, to use the vernacular:
Phoney:
A person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not
hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives
If you knew how to use a dictionary, Bruce, you wouldn't have misspelled
'phony.'
SMACKDOWN!

A beautiful try Willie-boy; unfortunately you missed it. You 'mericans
are not the final arbitrator of the English language. See the extract
from the dictionary below:
phoney ~ noun very rare
1. a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does
not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives
phoney ~ adj very rare
1. fraudulent; having a misleading appearance
As I said, if you keep your mouth shut nobody will ever notice how
ignorant you are.
Cheers,
Bruce
