My sailing trips start and end on the water. I have not been to
shore for over ten days, as I write this. I am eminently qualified
to decide who is a sailor and who isn't. It is clear that you are
no more a sailor than Booby!

What a pathetic sailing trip. It's all schedule and land-based.
Why not just drive an automobile? You aren't sailing anyway;
your are going to end up motoring just to keep on schedule.


Why would we need to motor at all? No leg is more than about 25 nm. Most sailing
does start and end on land. I guess you were unaware of that, being a
non-sailor, and all...

I thought these pics were taken a few years ago? Did you stay anchored out in the dink
while the yard fixed your boat and took the pictures?

Nonetheless, my elderly wife and I are taking our tiny, and extremely tippy,
canoe-like C&C 27-5 out for the next 6 days in whatever the "Big G" has to
offer, WITHOUT ANY HELP!

An excellent summary of the C&C 27. I notice you're leaving AFTER the bad
weather cleared out last night!!
Have fun and bring back pics!

Putting the boat on the hard for the purpose of painting the
bottom can hardly be called a sailing trip. I said I had not
been ashore for ten days not ten years.Good grief!
