he didn't, he lied.

Could Scotty be suggesting that I didn't sail yesterday? Didn't make 7.5
knots
under unreefed main? Didn't hit the rock?
Golly!

You didn't hit a rock.

A great question Katy, and after doing as you suggest, really thinking about
it, I concluded that it is an extremely loaded one! Perhaps it is too
closely related to issues still relevant today. I made an attempt at
offering some rationale for the phenomenon you mentioned, and then snipped
it myself! Color me chicken.

Umm he did say he was "feathered up"at the time.

I hope that you are being sarcastic. Feathered up doesn't stop the waves
where I sail!


But you didn't see that in your haste to put the boot in.


Haste? I read his post nearly 14 hours ago. I waited to see what the
fishing was going to be like.

Also, I really don't think that suggesting that Bob has been trolling again
could be called "putting the boot in".

Is there another problem?

Katy, that's the first truly ignorant, illogical, and parochial thing
I've ever seen you post.

Ya know, every so often the "real sailor" thing comes up and we know
where
that leads...When I think of a "real sailor", I go back to what
descriptions
of sailors from history and literature. Did you ever notice that the
great
saialors, men who battled on the sea, or transported goods, or
performed
adventurous deeds, were ALL from temperate climates? They may have
sojourned to the tropics, but the majority sailed back from whence
they
came. Think of the historically great ports: Plymouth, Liverpool,
Bristol
in Great Britain to name a few. In the USA we have Plymouth, Boston,
the
Chesepeake...We have all the great ports of the NE seaboard. From
these
ports, we imported and exported by sailing ship. We whaled. We
fished. We
made our country great. What sailors were noted for coming from the
tropics? Pirates. Privateers. Slavers. It all fits, doesn't it?
Think
about it....

Works for Bob. Of course he has 9 lives and a wife worth $226,000.

Is that how ''real sailors'' do it, hit bottom, then go home and look
at the
chart to see what they hit?



I plan to have a look at the charts today and see what's what. I'm
guessing
that the P30 would not have touched bottom.

Suspend your disbelief, just like when you go to a movie. I wonder if
his special effects are as funny as the screen play?

Well, today I met Marc from alt.sailing.asa for a sail. Winds were

challenging

to say the least, blowing 20-25 and gusting well above 30 to perhaps
35.

snip

BAM!!!
We hit a rock! Not badly, bumped it at about 3 knots luckily and
lifted up

and

over.


What nonsense! I amazed that anybody believes this wild
fabrication.

Ya know, Scout, you're showing some fine ng characteristics here. I think
you may be a keeper.

Nope, but it sure does slow a boat, and that's what he was talking
about.

Boats bounce up and down on waves.



Hmmm maybe you could ask Marc.....if he's not a bubbles sock puppet.

Exactly! Even if he is real, then I wonder what would happen if Bob and I
spent the afternoon sailing together. Plots might get hatched!!!

The C&C has a 5 mile per hour safety keel. That why it's the best boat
in the world, don't cha know.

I saw someone motor into a rock (the marina sill, in fact) at 3 kts
once.
There was nothing "gentle" about it.
