Easy there, big fella.

This thread is beginning to read like a 69. Are either of you two married?

many
of you are forced to apply chemical antiperspirants and perfumes to mask
your naturally foul body odour.

Ah, so it's *our* fault that you smell so bad????

I wouldn't be comfortable sailing in the same ocean as bubbles....He's
nuts!


I don't think that you need to worry. The nearest ocean is 90 miles from
his marina. He wasn't even able to make it to Norwalk last weekend.


The Ocean is nowhere near 90 miles from Booby. More like 10 miles.
Don't tell him that, though, or he'll have nightmares that it's coming
to get him!

I was convinced that the Atlantic was at least 90 miles away. If it is
only 10 miles, then he can go out to sea next weekend.

I'm really lookong forward to the photos.

Way to go, Bobby!

You have yet to prove THAT!

Well, you claim to sail the LIS. So let's meet. We'll agree on a time
window
and I'll sail over to Norwalk. I'll even bring you a quality beer from my
"high
end" 12 volt ice-box!


Bob,

I'm afraid that BB has given you a good hiding.


You know that I am on your side, and that I really hate BB. Nevertheless,
I am confident that you will understand that BB has whipped your ass.

If you must sit down tonight, then be gentle!

Don't worry, if you cannot deal with BB, then I will step in and help you.


Good luck,


Donal

Besides, he only has 3 (high-end) VHF's,
one (very expensive) Radar and one (top 'o the line) EPIRB,
so he obviously
isn't thinking of going more than 2 miles from anywhere.

and Bobby thinks that he hooked *me*????

More like you crawled into the lobster trap again. I'll haul you up later!

Yeah ......right,.....!

Go on ..... haul me up! The Donalfish is standing by.


I'm indigestable!

Oyster Bay is nowhere near as far as Norwalk.

Are you sure...better check before you look dopey. I'm betting the difference
is around 4-6 miles IF THAT!

RB

That's a crock with sturdy Dacron cruising sails unless it's done for
extended periods in high winds. The sail against the spreader and stay does
not cause accelerated abrasion at low wind speeds. I have done this with my
main and have seen it done on many vessels... I have yet to see significant
wear show on my sail in that area.

I'm not saying it won't cause abrasion... just that in light airs when it's
usually employed.. the effect is negligible. In winds strong enough to cause
the material to rub with force you would not elect to have the main so far
over.
