Poor Capt. Skippy! The Rube's been stuck in one place
for so long that I hear tell he's been raising turkeys on

Speaking of turkeys, you qualify for sure.
Go to bed dreaming you're Travis McGee and wake up every morning alone and
nasty as usual.
You need an attitude adjustment.

The least you and Bruce could do is man-up and admit
I was correct years ago when I predicted that Skippy,
being married and having his wife aboard, was doomed
as that was the surest way ever to cut his cruising
avocation short. Too bad Lydia is so hawt as I can
see where the choice between her and cruising might
be a difficult one. The lesson here is perhaps being
married to a fat, horse-faced woman might be better
for a cruiser as such as these are easily left behind.


Unfortunately the reality is that the ultimate in happiness isn't
attaining some plateau of mythical greatness, like claiming to be a
real sailorman simply because you have a boat that isn't equipped with
an auxiliary engine but does have an outboard motor clamped to its
tail, it is being able to do what one wishes to and if one wishes to
travel with one's wife, than traveling with one's wife is happiness.

You, on the other hand, who so obviously never had a father, or a
wife, are continually evidencing your great unhappiness and
disaffection with your own life and your envy for Skip's happy life
style is appallingly apparent.

Nonetheless, it seems I sure was correct about that,
now doesn't it. Skippy spent two years on the hard
preparing his fine yacht to cruise again and he never
even got two hundred miles from the yard before his
enterprise ground to a halt due to distaff side concerns.

Oh, well. A man must do what he thinks is most
expedient.

So, instead of hurling stones, perhaps you should
consider giving credit where credit is due. I have proven
time and time again that, when it comes to sailing and
the sailing life, I know of which I speak. I've been there,
done that, am still doing that, will continue to do that
and I've seen it all. I can make assumptions based
upon complete information, therefore I am generally
always correct.

Credit for what? Being chased out of rec.boats? What an
accomplishment. All one has to do is visit that site to understand
just how low you have fallen to have been driven out of that band of
losers.
