He doesn't even know the variation has not completed a deviation table....
he uses the GPS.

This is GONNA BE GREAT!!! I'll post this tomorrow!

Thanks, we did very well and had a great time. Suzanne is getting a great grasp
of nav skills.
We do our sailing unhampered by the need for drugs.

There are several levels of drunk BobZ

The firsty defense of a person who's out of control is to claim they are on
"another level" or "have it under control."
Operating any kind of machine, boats, cars, planes, forklifts...while drinking?
Shame on you.
I'm twice the sailor you are. Three times the sailor if you can't stop.

RB

I generally keep it
to sub-ballistic and I don't go to Invulnerable until the anchor is down.

I'm glad you're FAR away...and so are a lot of others. Most of the people won't
dare to speak the truth to you, but I will.
Drinking and sailing don't mix. You're a hazard and an accident waiting to
happen.

RB

Really, Bob?

Why do you think that drinking and sailing such a bad thing?

Donal, you really shouldn't troll about this sort of thing. Operating a boat
while hampered by alchohol is not smart and you shouldn't support it, even to
make a "troll."

RB

Results so far;

Sail with drunk Mooron ----- 86
Sail with sober bobspit ----- 1


Keep voting folks!
(Bob, stop e-mailing me, you're only allowed one vote)

mmmmmmmm? let's take a poll. Who would you rather sail with, a drunken
Mooron, or a sober bobspit?
e-mail me your vote.

Of course not... it's enjoyable and refreshing! Then again I know what
I'm
doing out there!

If you need alcohol to enjoy a sail and feel refreshed, you have an even
deeper
problem.
You DON'T know what you're doing because you're operating a vessel under
the
influence.

RB

So-o-o-o-o.... you don't have a reason???

Sorry, Mooron. I don't fool around when it comes to drinking and operating ANY
vehicle. Making a joke out of it is really all you can do.

I'm not trolling, Bob.

I can see that alcohol is an issue when you are doing 70mph in very close
proximity with other vehicles. Fast reactions are very important.

Boats doing 6 kts with large distances between them is a completely
different matter.

Can you really not see the difference?

Donal
