Bill it's unfair to state you believe Bob won't show and yet be evasive
yourself about a contact. Why not just wait for a Hail and selectively hunt
him down in the mean time. It can't be that large an area

It isn't and he's being very evasive. I'll be there long enough to contact, if
he shows.
Channel 9. I'll try hailing from 12-6 pm at 30 minute intervals on Saturday.
I'll also have plenty of pics to show come monday. I'll also get a pic with my
Verizon phone, which shows date and time. It's fed from Verizon and can't be
changed.

I wouldn't bet on it. Line of sight only.

Where will you be staying? Home, I presume?

I don't live near Branford, so unless I happen to be sailing in the
area, hailing won't do you much good.

We'll be staying aboard. I easily make 30 miles on the VHF, so why won't
hailing work? If you're out there you'll hear me.
You'll look pretty silly when I post pics. Just leave the radio on channel 9.

Bobsprit, as you well know, challenged me to
a race a few weeks ago, and then never showed up.

You mean you were waiting for me even after I told you that I could make it two
weeks later?
Hmmmm!

RB

I could produce a photo of my cell phone showing any date I want pretty
easily

I've never "fixed a pic." That's Neal's game. You're not going to show. We'll
be there.

RB

The whole thing
can then be pasted onto a stock backgroud photo, or one "borrowed" from a book,
magazine or website. Pictures of the Thimble Islands abound.

Yeah, there are tons of books with pics of Thimble Islands with C&C32's towing
a Quicksilver dinghy!
I guess I was already there and will post my "old" pics of the trip, right
Jane? Don't you know how to tell if a pic has been "modified?"
You're so "worried" we're coming your way!
Channel 9. There's NO reason you won't hear me unless you're home. Saturday
between 12-6 pm every half hour I'll hail you.

Capt RB

For me it isn't a question of showing up. I sail that area almost weekly. For
you it's an issue, because you have yet to go ANYWHERE

If I haven't BEEN ANYWHERE then my pics will have to be accepted. Perhaps you
know where I can lay my hands on pics of my boat near the Thimble Islands to
post?
Channel 9. Stop acting so silly.

Bwahahahaha!
