Who'll Bet on Bob?
 
Noblesse oblige, Mooron, noblesse oblige

Just shut up and get on with it. Capt Neal abdicated after a long
and profitable reign, MC in the end refused the crown, Bobsprit
took it by default, but lacked, er, substance, you've just
quietly slipped into the position. You're there now. Think of
the job as a maidenly embrace, with perhaps a touch of iron in
her.

I don't see how you can say this. While Mooron is clearly of ranking caliber,
it is I who continues to helm the group.
Observe my current control over Loco and Billy Jane. I expect to trample
Horvath shortly. Why I even have Katy talking "at" me again!

What zoo's Bob. I was the Site Work Subcontractor for the Flushing
Zoo, Central Park Childrens Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, and portions of
the Bronx Zoo.

BTW give me a time and date for a sail and I'll be there.

I've worked for Gods Love We Deliver. I also worked for quite a while as a

quite a while.

You?

I'm adding your e-mail to my Sail-Mail list that lists times when Alien heads
out.
This weekend will probably be out as we're taking the boat somewhere.

There is only one way I can see out of this gilded cage.... crew shirts for

screwed.

Doing the East River at night is beautiful, but you need to keep a
serious debris watch. There is a lot of big stuff floating around.
Also, they are doing some constructiion on the highway and the channel
is narrowed to almost 1/2 from 72nd St to 50th St. with large barges
cranes and miscl. equipment.

Got the edlrige handy? What time's ebb friday even?

Eldridge is on the boat, but using on line tide tables and the fact
that current change at H gate is 2 hrs after High or low tide at the
Battery, Hell gate should begin the ebb around 9:00PM Fri .

Its an hour 15 min from C.I. to Hellgate and the current turns at
Cryder Point 30 min before H gate. so, you can push a 1/2 to 1kn
current and leave at 7:45 PM and go thru at slack or leave at 8:30
and ride fair all the way.

It is in our facility. That is not unusual at all, especially when the home is

Cripes... that's Lady Pilot's line isn't it?.... Ha ha ha ..... You cheeky

walk the plank. Nobody has managed that feat here as yet... with Neal
anyway.

Bob's as thick as a short plank - maybe you could just stipulate it
done. And let's face it, unless we use my 6500 tonne icebreaker, the
lever arm of Bob on the end of even a 2m long plank is going to make
even your crab crusher turn turtle.

Besides, there are laws against raw sewerage discharge almost
everywhere.

Finally, you'd have to be in more than a couple metres of water to
make it worthwhile, and how are you going to get Bob that far from
shore?

That's not a threat. It's a statement of fact. I tolerate a lot, but not that. So if you enjoy baiting and playing, I'll play
just as long as you keep it civil (which to me is not using nasty words).
