It is a challenge for me to get out of bed every day. It is a
challenge to walk to the bathroom. It is a big challenge to take a
dump and get off the potty. And a big challenge to make breakfast,
but not to eat it. My life is one big challenge after another. I NEED
HELP!

Hey, I'm feeling mellow.


Good!

Shoulders feeling great, went for a sail yesterday, weathers sunny and
cool,
AND I'm off down the snow in another week. (stay off the blacks and no
poles!)


Jeeeze! You have an immigration problem there, too?

You'll be a little less cantankerous now, I trust!

nose and grins. T J Fletchen takes notes. Jonathan slyly slips in
proof that neither Jeff nor Boobs has any conception of wind force or
sea state. O'le Thom congratulates Jonathan on his double kill. Both
Jeff and Boobs crab sideways, exiting stage left.

Force 9 conditions is more properly called a gale or strong gale. Most
"sailors" consider anything about force 6 to be somewhat challenging.

This past
sunday we sailed in Force 7 and maybe Force 8 for a bit.
More than you could handle. But I suppose you call anything above

force 5 heavy
air right up to force 12!!

But I'm sure you can quickly conjure up a story of how you were in

this storm
or that! And some folks here will believe you!

Gusts don't count what? Gusts are even more challenging on the LI Sound and
require (obviously) even more skill to handle. Thanks for your support!

You keep harping on 20-25 knots, while everyone pointed to higher winds,
gusting to 30 knots and more.
Still worse, you ran away like a scared puppy when Ozzy agreed that the
conditions would be challenging as I described them.
All you have left now is to try to insist that conditions were less than what
three people reported.
I'm sorry, Donal. You're cooked and served.

I chose to believe that people in this group are truthful unless they have

demonstrated
otherwise. I know that there's a possibility that one or more seemingly

honorable posters
may be deceiving us, but that's OK, its all virtual. There are, however,

a small number
of posters, RB, Neal, and Jax, that for some reason take great pleasure

blatantly lying
for the purpose of trolling. Frankly, everything they say is highly

suspect. Indeed,
they challenge us with every post: "guess whether I'm telling the truth

this time!" is
between the lines of everything RB says. They are also the first to

accuse everyone else
of lying, and the first to play "holier than thou."

If people play nice, its fun to believe them; when they brag about

cheating, one assumes
they always cheat.

By the Beaufort Scale everyone else uses F9 is a "Strong Gale." To

call
it a "gale"
simply means its somewhere between
F7 and F10 inclusive, although I've seen versions where F7 doesn't

quite
count as a "gale"
even though its a "moderate gale."

I seriously doubt you were in F8. The Beaufort Scale measures

"Sustained
Wind," not
gusts. Further, using the Beaufort scale in inland, protected waters

is
rather deceptive.
Since you're claim F8, does that mean you had waveheights of 18-25

feet?

Marc didn't exist in this group before or after your alleged sail with him.
He's
fiction.


No, this can't be true. RB couldn't write the subtly, but devastatingly,
critical account of their day on the water that Marc related.

He probably had his wife write it by threatening to have sex with

Wrong. He could. COnsider what he does for a living. But even
so, your point remains valid. Indeed, the account becomes even
_more_ subtly, devastatingly critical, if Bobsprit is indeed the
author.
