Thank you for clearing that up. I thought you were accusing me of
maliciously giving Bob false information when you were merely
imputing over optimism on my part in Bob's ability to navigate a
clearly marked channel.

Meanwhile, you are directing him to an anchorage outside his target
area, of questionable holding ability , open the S/W to the S/E,
exposed to wakes from motorcraft in the adjacent channel and
containing an unmarked rock outcrop.

It is sad that your animus for Bob would cause you to give him
misleading information.

In answer to your irrelevent question, I've got crew, fuel, water, and
provisions. Depending on the wind, any where between Cape May and
Block Island.

Mark gave you a bum steer.

s'plain it to me Luci

You directed Bobadil to a place that he could not safely navigate to, as an
option to the Thimble Islands, which he could also never safely navigate to.

Bobadil, if he is not a total chicken **** and fraud, can get his boat safely
to, and anchored at, Big Mer. this weekend. I'll be looking for him. Where will
you be?

BB

Billy...please be standing by on Channel 9. We'll be heading your way on Friday
afternoon.
Shall I hail Binary Bill or a specific boat name?

Capt RB

Where will you be staying?

Actually...on board. We have no plans to do anything but sail, swim and row
around with the dinghy.

RB

so I will likely be in the area. Just
tell me where you will be, and I'll make a point of swinging by to see
if you are there.

I'll leave my radio on channel 9 and I approach Thimble Islands. Who should I
hail?
Nothing evasive. It's a specific question. If you're around you'll hear me.
I'll be taking a lot of pics for the website.
Who shall I hail?

RB

I don't LIVE near Branford. I don't monitor VHF when I'm at home. I
couldn't respond, even if I did, as I'm many miles inland.

Uh, you SAIL many miles inland? Didn't you just say you'll be sailing the area
during the weekend. If that's true, you'll hear me/see me.
I expect we'll be approaching the Thimble Islands Mid-Saturday. How's that?

RB

Naturally, you'll post a picture showing a recognizable piece of
Alien,

Not a problem. You don't need the paper and I won't wander around the shore
looking for one. If you see us, the boat and the Islands, that's enough. Had I
been there you know I'd have posted pics by now.
Weather is looking GREAT for the weekend.
