Especially Bobsprit. On the one hand he has complained
and whined for two years, "Where's the pictures of Neal
sailing? He never leaves the mooring.

And so, after years of my asking, you finally went sailing.
Congrats.

RB

Then when I finally get around to taking some pictures and
constructing a web page he starts complaining and whining
about how old and worn out my sails are.

Actually, I was one of the last people to do that. Everyone got their shots in
first.

RB

To be honest, I expected no less. I know I'm dealing
with a bunch of people who have no real sailing skills
or experience. Not one of them lives aboard his vessel
and that fact alone makes them inferior sailors whose
criticism is of little worth. It does make me laugh though
so I suppose it does have some little value in a mean sort
of way.

Biggest laugh until you ever post some sailing pics, that is.

Thanks you!!! My apolgies for neglecting to offer gratitude for one of the

Please don't temp him. It's bad enough that Hero sets off
his epirb when the sink fills up. If Booby actually sailed
half the Coast Guard would be required to hoist him out
of the water.

Neal, I have no doubt that you can sail. But I do, at times, question the gear
you've chosen. You know full well that this all in fun.
If your happy with it that's all that counts. If Scotty could learn to be happy
with something modest he'd be less of a target.

Not one of them lives aboard his vessel

Living aboard a sailboat requires no additional skills than living aboard a house or condo, tent, or camper, or anything else.
Each has a place to sleep, a place to eat, a place to potty (hoipefully). If you prefer cedar buckets, you can have one at any
of those places. Ambience does not a sailor make. Sailing is the skill,; not living aboard. We all know you know how to live
(in a limited sort of way). What we ask if: How are you going to prove you really know how to sail?

It requires one additional skill.

I disagree. Neal probably has to work really hard at living
on his Coronado. Think of all the compromises he's got to
make. Also, think of how few places will let him stay for
any length of time, given the way he pollutes.

Living aboard one's vessel is the ONLY way to get to know her
as well as you should if you are going to do any sailing in other
than sheltered waters. Living aboard indicates a commitment
to the sailing life - not just sailing as a temporary diversion from
a pathetic shore life.

Your argument is unfortunate because using the same logic I could
just as well say you can be a successful married couple without being
married and without living together. Your logic, like that of most women,
is seriously flawed.

It's so easy to see how jealousy brings out the worst in
some people.

demanding for years. It is clear that Booby is a self-centered
little crybaby who thinks the world revolves around his
somewhat rotund person. It is a sad state of affairs.

Booby's main emotion is that of jealousy. His secondary
emotion is that of trying to attain a little of the glory because
he thinks everyone is as jealous as he is and if he gets a
boat, car, stereo that he thinks is impressive then people
will be jealous of him. He lives to make people jealous but
he fails miserably because he has not a single original bone
in his corpulent body. He doesn't seem to realize that nobody
gets jealous of a copycat - especially a copycat who does a
poor job in the copying.

It is so easy to see.

What a load of complete crap! I lived aboard for 10 years and could set sail
within 2 minutes at any time. I've seen and been aboard a lot of "live
aboard" vessels in my life.... some do keep their boats like a disorganized
pig sty... a lot are maintained ship shape. To utilize a fraction of the
sailors that live aboard and keep their vessels in disorder and don't sail
much to make such a sweeping condemnation is about as retarded as you can
get. Where do you get this viewpoint on live aboards... form the dock side
sailing experts that go out to race once or twice a week?

I've seen something supporting Binary Bill's statement but it is a
generality, not applying to everybody. So, how about somebody running a
poll of the NG. Who lives or don't live aboard and how many hours per
(day/week/month/year) do you actually sail?

It is so easy to see.
 

An astute observation Bob. Perhaps those of us who live abord know less the
abilities of their craft, as they may be inhibited by the fear they may
damage their homes.
