So in effect you are now stating that you cannot make the destination and
your previous claim of a mid-day arrival was in error? Really Bob... this is
becoming very lame. You've milked the girls on my boat thing till the teats
are dry. I can't see any improvement in your skill levels to match the
larger vessel selection. It's a 10 hour trip each way and you have failed to
allow sufficient time to make the passage both ways within the time frame
you claimed. This is not only idiotic in it's inception but clearly displays
your failings in comprehension of the basics of navigation and seamanship.

I would recommend a course in basic keel boat and coastal navigation before
you attempt to challenge someone like Binary Bill to any competition
involving sailing. This is proving to be a fiasco on your part..... with
your mouth writing checks your boat, skills and schedule can't cash.

Never said I'd be there by midday. Only said I'd be reachable on the radio by
mid day which I maintain.
Channel 9. Bill will either show or he won't. On monday there will be proof I
was there.

I can't see your supposition that you would be anywhere near your proposed
destination until Saturday evening with your current plan. Approach and
contact does not constitute arrival by any stretch of the imagination. How
do you propose obtaining photos and still allowing yourself adequate time to
undertake a return trip if you proceed to the Thimbles and anchor? If I
undertook to plan passage by your yard stick... I could claim landfall in
Mahone Bay by making VHF contact with the dock master from East Ironbound
Island, 15 miles short of the destination and call it done.

If Bill shows or not isn't relevant.... what is at question here is that
your claims are failing to meet logistical reality. I can understand why
Binary Bill is have a hearty guffaw at your expense. I would advise you
abandon your current regime of failure based strategies. Passage plan for
safety and sufficient time to enjoy your destination. Consistent failures
will eventually and detrimentally effect your self confidence in regards to
sailing.

You previously claimed that your wife was the navigator on your vessel...
are you relying on her planning to substantiate your claims? Please inform
her that Capt. Mooron urges her to reassess her current plan and factor in
sufficient time to undertake the trip.

It's unfortunate that you have a well equipped vessel that under proper
command would easily negotiate even a moonless evening landfall or anchorage
in complete safety and yet you seem unable to utilize your vessel to it's
obvious potential. This is a problem that will haunt you through successive
vessels. No matter how fine the ship or how fantastic the deal.... your
inability to utilize the boat to it's potential will negate any claim of a
superior vessel.

Dear Capt Mooron,
If you wish to maintain your credibility in this unseemly
exchange with Bobsprit, it is absolutely essential that you
demonstrate how you verified that last statement.
