Joe




What a big POS! Probably makes a wake five feet tall. Talk about
throwing
good money down a rat hole! That's exactly the kind of rat boat that
ruins
any anchorage as explained in some of my posts elsewhere.

And there speaks the owner of a small, yellow, anchor buoy.

Ah but jealousy is terrible.

Like, I'm REALLY jealous of Joe! Bwahahahahhahahahahahha. You've GOT to be
kidding. The Rube goes out and manages to sink his sailboat in a Gulf of
Mexico cold frontal passage and ends up with some old, rotten,
soggy-wooden
1956 Owens. He slaps a coat of paint on it to try to hide the rotting
topsides and he thinks he's got something people will be jealous of.
Hohohohohohohhohhohoohoo! Oh, my aching sides. Then he goes to a junkyard
and salvages a couple of 357 Chevy motors and installs them. They will
last
about two months in the damp and rank bilges of that rotting hulk. My gosh
but the man is pitiful.

Willie-boy, you just keep opening your mouth and letting your
ignorance spew out - "projectile ignorance"?

After all your self documented nautical experience is restricted to
your recently reported bay cruise while Joe actually goes to sea.


ROFLOL! Joe goes to sea in a rusty steel motor sailor with a flimsy rudder
and he returns to land in the belly of a rescue helicopter while his
abandoned boat sails on only to sink several hours later. The Rube abandoned
a boat that probably wouldn't have sunk if only it had a brave and competent
skipper to look after it.


Is it jealousy that forces you to speak so disrespectfully of your
betters.


Are you suggesting I should be respectful of a cut-and-run, amateur sailor
like Joe who, when the going got tough, jumped ship?

Perish the thought. Unlike poor Joe, this captain has a pair.


Wilbur Hubbard


The part that you seem so adroitly to be overlooking is "Joe went to
sea".

As I have said before jealousy rears its ugly head.

Cheers,
