" As an experiment to test whether JAX believes what he says, I propose:

JAX come sailing here in N. Florida in thunderstorms of MY choosing.
He will get a choice of various boats but we remove any grounding
system and replace them with a system where he completes the circuit
across his chest. Prior to sailing (while I remain on shore
videotaping for everyones amusement), he takes out a term life
insurance policy with me as beneficiary for gretaer than the value of
the boat plus $50,000 (I will pay for this policy).
After emerging unscathed from each storm, i will buy him dinner and
pay his hotel bill for the night (we have to have a thunderstorm each
day I pay). After only 11 storms, i will thank him, pay his plane
ticket cost plus $1000 and agree that he is a great sailor. He can
then go back and tell everyone what cowards those Florida rednecks are
and I will agree. Furhtermore, If JAX is worried about sailing in
thunderstorm wind (I am) then he can use a powerboat with a suitably
tall outrigger.

If JAX truly believes what he says, he should jump on this opportunity
to make a fast $1000, get at least 11 days paid for in FL and get to
go sailing for free.

This offer is only good till Sept 10 because then storms start to
taper off in intensity. He must agree to hold me and the boat owner
blameless for any harm that befalls him due to lightning.

So JAX, put up or shut up.

JAX, JAX, its ok, we really do value the opinions of ARMCHAIR
SAILORS.....................when we're sailing armchairs.
