| Pathetic.
| You just admitted to operating your vessel under the influence of alcohol.
| That's no joke, Mooron. Get some help or sell your boat.
| Or both.

Bob!!!.... it's even worse! I won't hoist sail till I open my first beer!!
If you ever see the ensign of the constellation Draco on a sloop late at

That's fast. I didn't know Cementa could do 300 knots.

Note the captital N in "Nav stuff". I'm so proud of him!

Let's face it. If Bob actually did do the trip, then he wasn't the
skipper.

You're right! Suzanne handled most of the Nav stuff. I had the GPS in my pocket
and steered like a bus driver. She pointed right and left and I followed.
Seems to work!

I'm 99.999% sure you did not.

I didn't realize you were so sensitive Bob!

I'm VERY sensitive. To make matters worse, few people believe that I saw a
severed (and rotting) human head floating during the trip. I'm 75% sure of what
I saw.

Depth is a very useful navigation tool

You're reading way to much into my inquiry about bottom contours.... like
Bob you probably think you have to actually dive down and map it... that was
just too funny!

Don't you verify if the charted depth conforms with your depth sounder
readings at regular intervals Oz???

But Bob claimed there was a wicked current!!!!!

Perish the thought... that was Bob who assumed that..... since he was
under the impression that knowing the sea floor topography would require a
deep diving submersible. That was too funny! It didn't even register with
him that I was referring to confirming bottom contours from the chart with
the sounder!!!!!

Only downwind, of course!

She's a modern boat!
