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.

I don't get the connection between a boat and pedophiles.

I'm glad I don't.

He's gone straight off the deep end.

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

True. It *is* my boat. I'm glad that you allow me to do as I
please!!!

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

He should be locked up!

Poor Bobby. What on Earth is going on inside his head?

Maybe everybody who sails in LIS is a Pedo?????

Whatever the explanation is, we must offer Bobby our support in this
difficult time.

Yeah, those and all the others.

No. I just read his posts.

And which post specifically leads you to think that he knows how to sail?
Was
it his "wife sleeping" post? The one about the bad waterpump? Or the one
where
he couldn't back into a slip?

RB

That's right. A sailboat is not a tool. Perhaps a tug is,
or perhaps a tanker, or a fishing boat, but a sailboat
is the antithesis of a tool.

A sailboat is not a tool you fool. It's a boat

A boat isn't a tool?

Oh, okay!

Bwahahahahahaha!

RB

So you're saying you're a fish. Well, I have to agree.

They haven't stood in front of the wind and the sea. Anyone
who does is changed by it.

More nasty elitist crap. Not everyone is "changed by the sea" Ganzy. Some
of us
where with the sea all along. And others could care less and live in the
mountains.

RB

There must be something about it that is superior in your eyes or else there
would be no purpose for it.

What shallow terms you all live on. The sad part is that you don't even realize
it.
No, Katy. Sailing is not "superior" in my eyes. It's just was "I" happen to
enjoy. To rank it on ANY level is to dishonor what it means to me and what it
once was.
You just don't get it. Nor will you ever.

Capt RB

Only a sailor would understand.

No sailor get's overly romantic about the roots of sailing. It just wasn't the
case. It was a brutal life. Our version is a joke compared to "real" sailors.
As I said before, you dishonor the spirit of sailing by attempting to rate it,
rank it or in any way classify it in some shallow elitist manner.
I'm truly dissapointed in this shallow and openly materialistic view of one of
the oldest and most dangerous professions.
It's no wonder that I've eclipsed most of you already.

RB

and you're clueless.

Poor Scotty! He's in a roid rage and shot himself that time!

Bwahahahaha!

RB

I know...... but I enjoy wasting my time.

If only you wasted a bit more before buying a Beneteau!
