Most of us realize that October 31st and the end of October are the
same date. Just how stupid are you?

So you knew I was right all along. Thanks.

We still have doubts about: "Midday is about 4-6 pm".

Hey, bob, FYI, frost bite racing is done in sailboats, in the water.

There is frost bite racing that runs till January all over LIS. Look it
up.

Thanks for making my point. The turkey races do run and so do a few
others. But
just about all sailboats leave the water by end of October. They have very
little choice. If there are sailboats around here in November, they must
be
invisible.

Hey, bob, FYI, frost bite racing is done in sailboats, in the water.

Sorry, Steve, you've got no argument. Only a handful of boats sail here after
Oct 31st. I was 100% right.
By late November it would be unusual to spot two sailboats in a week.

RB

No, you said that most boaters hauled their boats in early to mid
October, neither of which is October 31st.

By early October, more than half of the boats on in NY are on the hard. By the
15th, most are out. By the end of the month I'm one of the last boats sailing
in the area.
Care to wager on it?

RB

I hated that..... living up north, the season was so short. Also getting
the boats
in storage for the winter was costly. Glad I don't have to worry about that
anymore.

Is that a NY law? or just another one of your lame excuses?

They shut down the matrix.

Close...but wrong as always. Nearly every boat comes out of the water on
October 31st here.

RB

Are you suggesting that there is no frostbiting in LIS? Or, are you
suggesting that every boat the sails in a frostbite series is dry sailed?

That's correct Katy, in FL we have to worry about tropical storms and
hurricane's. When In MI we had to worry about winterized motors and
exposure. A lot of the marinas have breakwalls, but this does not stop
all the little creatures that love to live on the bottom side of the
sailboat
called barnacles, and having to re-do the bottom side of the boats can
get to be a real pain. I was born and raised in Michigan I know how
pretty the great lakes are

hummm now that you mention it?
I think we have tropical storm heading this way

Seriously. The guy invites you for a sail, and you make a lame excuse and
don't
respond in kind. Shame on you Scotty.
Then, when someone else shows good form you call tham gay.
