You can't stand in front of the wind
and the sea and be unchanged by it, whether or not the wind is on a small lake or an ocean passage. The fact that so many people could care less about boats and the sea disputes this. Some people want to climb a mountain or fly. The sea doesn't interest them. What narrow thinkers Ganzy and Scotty are! RB |

Don't you enjoy sailing, Robert?
I love it, but I don't dishonor the true heritage of boats by treating it like a some kind of superior experience. That's why I'm so generous with her, inviting practically anyone out for a sail. RB |

That isn't surprising. After all, no decent sailors would go out for a
half hour motorsail with a wimp who is prone to panic attacks in an F3. Its struck me when you wrote that you have hit on the current that runs through all Boobs' photos. There is a wariness, something just short of panic, in the eyes of the people on his boat, as if they are thinking "Does he really have any clue what he is doing, and how do I get out of here in one piece". There certainly is an air of tension on his boat, and not fun and relaxation. Maybe its due to the intense traffic where he sails. |

a some kind of superior experience.
True sailors have always treated sailing as a special experience. There's a big difference between "special" and "superior." Your effort to make sailing into some form of elitist activity is nothing short of horrific. Still, it's your boat. Do as you please. RB |

Your effort to make sailing into some form of elitist activity is nothing short of horrific. Tut, tut, Robert. Sailing is not an elitist activity. _You_ are the living proof that sailing is not elitist. Nobody could call sailing "elitist" when people like you and Danny have boats. Still, it's your boat. Do as you please. True. It *is* my boat. I'm glad that you allow me to do as I please!!! Regards Donal -- |

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

![]() but I don't dishonor the true heritage of boats by treating it like a some kind of superior experience 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. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 Ad eundum quo nemo ante iit. http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

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 |
