Sailors all through history (at least those that chose to sail and weren't
impressed) have thought sailing to be a superior
experience. If you equate the act of sailing to any other day-in/day-out
experience, why do it? It's not like you have to.
There must be something about it that is superior in your eyes or else
there would be no purpose for it.

Right on , Jon. Have you ever been somewhere on land and a nice breeze is
blowing and you just sorta stick your nose into the wind, breathe it in,
sigh, and get *that* feeling? I wonder if non-sailors ever do that?
--


When I wake up in the morning, I can tell if a SW or W wind is blowing. I
don't know how I know that it is a SW wind that is blowing, but it seems to
touch something very deep inside me, and it makes me want to be near water.


I think that it stems from my early teens. I grew up beside a lake. I
used to enjoy walking along the shore from the age of about 10. In
autumn(fall) the wind was usually a SW, and often about F6. This wind was
warm, but it carried a lot of rain. I used to walk along the shore(miles
from the nearest human) wearing an anorak with the hood up, to protect me
from the rain. It was very cosy, and warm, as the waves crashed in.

I can't figure out how I *know* that it is a SW that is blowing. Maybe it
is temperature related, ... maybe humidity plays a part .... it might even
be that a SW is more blustery than a wind from any other direction.

Last winter we had a F10 for the first time in many years. I had to drive
down to the coast to see and _feel_ the sea. I don't know why, but it
*was* wonderful.

where's it coming from, then I immediately wonder what the wave height is out on the old Sea of Michigan,


Haaaaaaaaaaa ah hah ah ah h ahahh ahh ah hah
hah a hh a h ahha ha h!

Sea of Michigan, indeed! It is amazing how some people
inadvertantly reveal their shame at sailing inland ponds and
lakes so they resort to calling these placid bodies of water
'seas' in order to bolster their sagging egos.

I literally get stir crazy when I'm so far inland that I haven't
smelled the ocean for a couple of weeks.

I lived in St Louis, MO for threre years. It was the only time I lived away from the Great Lakes and although St. Louis is a
nice place, being stuck in the middle of a place whose only water is 3 big rivers was claustrophobic. Couldn't wait to get back
to MI, even with the cold weather...

Rapists and pedaphiles also do as they please, at least until they're
caught.
Enjoy your "hobby."


Oh dear. You've gone over the deep end again.

If I do as I please on my boat, your twisted mind brings all sorts of
illegal practices into play. Sad.... very sad!

Don't you do as you please on your boat?

He'll dissappear now, for a few months, I suppose.

C'mon, Donut, it took me a while to come up with the perfect number. 2 was
too few, 4 too many, maybe, 5 would have been unbelievable (maybe not to
bob, though) but 3, yes, 3 sounded like the perfect bait.

Oh, Robert! Please tell us that you realise that Scotty was trolling with
that post.

I refuse to believe that you are a complete sucker!

I really hope that I have completely misunderstood your post as, although
you have often appeared to be an idiot, you don't usually look this
stupid.


Don't let me down. Prove to us that you knew that Scotty was trolling.


Thanks,
