Congratulations, Bob.
 
On each side of the entrance is a flashing light on a tower that is
about 30 feet high. There are also at least three lighted bouys in
close proximity. A glance at a chart would tell you which flashing
light was which.

How wide is the entrance? How close are the two FBs to the SW???

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

Can you really not see the difference?

Alcohol effects the following:

1) Judgment...kinda dangerous on a boat.
2) heat retention...kinda bad if you fall overboard or need to make a MOB
rescue that requires getting wet.
3) Reflexes ....kinda dangerous if you have to get close during docking
4) Eyesight....see #1
5) Balance....dangerous for the sailor and anyone he might have to rescue.

Drinking and boating don't mix. It's not legal for obvious reasons. Driving a
car while drunk is also awful and selfish.
I'm shocked that you would even think of defending such a bad habit in an open
forum.

Congratulations, Bob.
 
Those questions are all answered clearly and definitively by looking
at a proper chart.

In other words, you don't know.
As I thought.

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

Actually, I accidentally voted for Bob.

Could you adjust the figures to reflect this error?

Thanks!

I doubt if Moorom sails drunk, but claiming that a skipper has to be a
teetotaler while under way is ridiculous. Generally, we don't break out the
brews until after finish, but last Saturday during a period of light winds
the skipper relented and had cocktail hour, before the end of the race. One
more vote for Mooron.
