Sailing back to the slip
 

Only a fool limits safety because of small embarrassment.

It's a good idea to have a cell phone, but not for stuff

As usual, you demonstrate no understanding about
sailing, boat handling, or common sense.

No. I'm just smarter than you. I could use my radio to call the
yacht club, but then everyone would hear me. I'd rather use my cell
phone to call one of my buddies sitting at the bar, then nobody else
would find out, dumbass.

I might be missing something but with out batteries doesn't that knock
out the radio? Who do you Hail to?

HAIL TO THE CHIEF, of course.

Are you unpatriotic or something?

Well I had a cell phone and a working vhf, didn't feel like waiting
who-knows-how-long for a tow. You could easily sail your boat up to the wall
at North Cape, impress everyone, then discreetly plug into shore power,
charge your batteries. We don't have a similar wall at my marina, hence,
sailing most of the way(50 feet short, actually) then coasting into the
slip. You know, a quality folding prop is a thing of beauty.

I doubt that seeing you being towed into the marina yet again would come as

Once again, you show yourself to be a dumbass. I'd have him bring a
spare battery.

Yeah, I can see how the embarrassment of being towed in is less
than the embarrassment of telling the harbor master that he's sailing in
and then actually trying to do it.

That's the way a dumbass, like you, would do it. I'd have my friend
bring a spare battery.

There's still some that don't know?

John, I have 2 small solar chargers ( maintainers, they call them) I leave
hooked up while I'm off the boat. Think they charge at 1/2 or 1 amp.

The neighbor was a woman, a member of our local sailing club, she probably
was right about the no sailing rule, the marina is somewhat crowded. The
batteries were dead due to lack of charging, I haven't been out a lot
recently, we don't motor that much when we're just going out for a sail.
We
couldn't get the diesel started when we were leaving, I connected the
batteries up to the charger long enough to allow us to start the diesel,
not
long enough for them to be properly charged. Before we left for home last
night I connected one of the batteries up, am going back today to properly
charge the other one. One of my off-season projects will be the
installation
of a proper on-board charging system. As long as I sail out of this
marina,
keeping the batteries charged with the diesel will be a problem.

Yeah, you could signal him with one of your many flags.

Right. Because you're too timid to actually use the VHF
and your sailboat. Why not inconvenience everyone.

Oh, I forgot, you get a flag.
