Naw, I pointed it out to him about 5 years ago, but he still hasn't left. I think he's permanently moored here, just like his
boat is permanently moored to an old A-4 engine block.


Sorry, Katy - you sexy thing, you - my mooring is much better
than some old Atomic 4 block. For your information, it consists
of two, 500-pound, 48" ID, cast iron, manhole cover frames.

You've heard asked why is a manhole cover round? You have
probably heard stupid answers like 'so it won't fall into the hole' or
or 'it can fit in any position', etc.? The correct answer why a
manhole cover is round is because the frame is round.

I got the frames, honey! Why not come down this winter and
sail with me again. You know you enjoyed the heck out of
it the last time.

Listen, young man. I've been on this group since it was created by
me and some friends of mine, all sailors and fine computer
craftsmen. And all what is left is a bunch of incomptent
crack pilots who have way too much time on their hand.

Biggest offenders are Moroon, Donal, Bobsprit, Pony Express,
LOCO, Binary Bill, Scott Vernon, and Cappys Master.

This used to be a decent group years ago before it was
invaded by a bunch of Capt.Neal® wannabes who never
had any chance in the world of doing even a tenth
as good a job as the retired Capt.Neal® did keeping
the discussion here related to sailing topics.

You tell me !!

Most of the people here lately are losers and flakes.

And why should you make an exception?

They are the same type of children one sees on any
playground doing the most stupid and absurd things
and yelling, "Lookit me, lookit me!" Too stupid to know
the difference between accomplishment and foolish
noise.

Seems you are doing the very likely thing!

A better group to subscribe to if you want sailing discussion
is uk.rec.sailing. The people over there at least act like
grown-ups.

A don't want to have zilch to do with brits !!!!

In the meanwhile check out the good Capt. Neal® website at
http://www.homestead.com/captneal/index.html he has lots
of sailing topics on his Novice Lessons.

If he sails the same way he makes webpages, Good Lord, I'd never
want to cross the cape of Good Hope with him.

Katy,

You're being more mean and unreasonable than usual.

How come? Is it that 'time of the month', dear? I forgive
you, young lady.

The manhole cover frames were given to me. I helped
jackhammer them out of the concrete because the
vaults and pipes they gave access to were being
abandoned.

The water company would've had to pay by the pound
to drop them off at the dump so they were more than
happy to have me take them off their hands. They're
ideal for making a mooring. They can be rolled, as heavy
as they are, by one person onto an Avon topped with
plywood and ferried out to the mooring site where they
can be dumped. They're clean and do not pollute the
water with oil like an old engine block can. They're
heavy enough to hold even an ugly slug of a boat like
a Kirie Elite, for example. Renewing the chain is easy.
They lay flat and sink into the mud for huge holding
power and no harm to bottom life.

Please reconsider my invitation. Sooner or later you
will need me again like you used to.

S.Simon
