Oh, the Humanity!
No fair... I was waiting on two calls and cleaned the shop during that time.
Don't be jealous because I'm suddenly popular. Ozzy was in the kitchen for a while....

We can carry on a discussion direct unhampered by | a zillion trolls. | Mooron understands that. He's not interested in any "facts." He's happy that I | won't post details as everyone can plainly tell. But as Thom pointed out, I | have the upper hand on the nay sayers....in spades! | | I feel bad for mooron. I know things are bad when I come home for a short sail | to 75 posts plus with him at the center! | | RB |

Oh, the Humanity!
Passage planning would include a look at charts to know about hazards
and working light houses. Cheers MC Wally wrote: "Bobsprit" wrote in message Wally, I'm no expert, but do well enough for the limited grounds we cover. If you'd like specifics of how we planned for our little adventure (Currents, weather, and plotting a short course) e-mail me direct. In thier efforts to troll, many people here bury any chance for a good info exchange. Surely the best way to defuse their attempts to troll is to post whatever you would otherwise email? Facts are poor troll bait, are they not? Consider, for example, the recent discourse on Neal's specification LWL compared to what it really is, even allowing for his reduced freeboard - the spec LWL just doesn't add up, and nobody came a-trollin' on the matter when this was pointed out. As you've already noted, there is little basis for the trolls to claim that you weren't at the Thimbles - the pics have largely defused any such claims. (By the same token, I take the same lack as evidence that you were indeed there - I have no idea what the Thimbles look like, but I assume from the silence of others that the photos are of said Thimbles.) In any case, as you're no expert, input from the group might be good for you, too. I would certainly relish the opportunity to read and partcipate in a good group discussion of coastal passage planning. -- Wally I demand rigidly-defined areas of uncertainty! www.art-gallery.myby.co.uk |

"Wally" wrote in message news "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message news:iap2b.61635 Please Bob.... stop your thrashing. You are falling back on your tried and true "Hooo Haaa" defense. I'm not attacking anyone... I'm seeking clarification which you seem unable or unwilling to supply. Why is that Bob? You boast of a report and provide a rather sketchy overview of items which might interest a lubber but means nothing at all to a sailor. Speaking as a sweet, innocent, fresh-faced n00b who will, hopefully in a few weeks, be embarking on hs first cruise in his vast, ocean-going 18-foot mega-yacht, I would be most interested in hearing of Bobsprit's journey in some detail in the hope that I might learn something about passage planning - all that wind and tide stuff and how it's calculated. Wally, when you need to take a leak, you don't try to pee to windward. When you want to learn about sailing, you don't ask Bob..... especially if the trip is going to be more that 3 nautical miles! If you want to learn about passage planning, just ask. You could start some (badly needed) great threads. Regards Donal -- |

Why do you want to deny the ng of the opportunity to have a real sailing discuussion? Tell us how you calculated the effects of tide on your course to steer. Tell us how the weather forecast affected your plans. Tell us how the actual weather affected your trip. Did everything go according to plan? Regards Donal -- |

And still you've not asked for anything specific. My Mailbox is empty. Mailbox?? This _IS_ supposed to be a sailing newsgroup. Why won't you discuss sailing here? Are you no better than Peter, or Bertie? Regards Donal -- |

"The Captains Master" wrote in message | Ummm heknows no-one is really interested. | What he knows is the sudden realization that his credibility is non existent... and that he has arrived at this junction on his own merits. Bob's not a bad guy... he funny and entertaining and I believe he does try to be nice.... but I'd check for my watch and rings after shaking hands with him. [at least that is the impression I've gotten from his online presence] CM |
