We are talking Port Jefferson on the LIS here. It's not tricky in the
slightest.

Problem is, Jane...nobody and I mean NOBODY, especially the LIS Cruising guide,
agrees with you!
You're so busted it's scary! And yet still you post yourself into the mudpits!
Even if it was the easiest entrance in the world, we did right by observing the
cautions from sailors and the Guide.
Good sailing, Billy Jane, even if you can only wonder what that is!
See you in Norwalk next weekend!
Channel 9!

Bwahahahaha!

Entering Port Jeff is about as easy as it gets.

Ummm...we entered Port Jeff with no problems. You're telling sailors here to
ignore warnings. This is about the same level as Capt. Neal, who hands out
dangerous advice just to troll. Even I won't do that.
Shame on you Billy Jane.
ALWAYS be OVERLY careful when entering a strange port...especially at night.
The ocean is filled with sunken boats who swept into "easy" ports at night!

RB

You're going straight?

Isn't it illegal to be sailing after Oct. 31?

another vessel??? Panic and pull doughnuts???

Yeah Bob.. but there's careful and then there's frightened because you
realize you don't know what you're doing...

Really!!! the whole ocean is filled with them... clogging entry to "easy"
ports? Did you pick up their rotting hulks on your sounder? How many are
just outside your marina? Did that guy you screamed at one day when you
were exiting your breakwater... you know the one that's 100 meters wide...
because he was blocking your exit, know about all these sunken obstacles to
safe entry??

Bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!

Ha ha mmmmmmmmm, I'm starting to get a clearer picture of boob**** on a
boat, and it ain't pretty.

Hardly the same thing Oz... and he should have brought the vessel to a dead
stop immediately upon updated coordinates indicating he was not where he
should be. They were racing.... using only GPS. I'm certain if they had been
running a hand plot and compass bearing, speed, time calcs enroute... they
would have had reason for concern from conflicting data.

| Oh and radar won't plot submerged rocks and shoals.

First off.. they hit a 3 meter rock awash! They heard it! ... Secondly..
they had no Radar or it would have shown a location different from the GPS
in regards to the shoreline. Oh ... the reason you might use radar to plot
your location relative to the shore is to guage your triangulation fix
'relative' to the submerged rocks on the chart.

| You guys will throw away all credibility just to have an argument.

The only one here showing any lack of credibility is yourself Oz! The reason
your ears are ringing is because Bob just farted ...again! ;-)

You stumbled yet again and called in this 'eyewitness" testimony to your
failings as a sailor.

trip

and quotes that cannot be substantiated


Yeah... sure he did Bob! Bwahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa! .....and 2 days ago I
talked to a couple of psychiatrists sailing from the USA that thought I was
charming, sensitive and very kind. Bwahahahahahahahaaaaa


| Congrats again to my wife! Sorry, Mooron. That's who you've really been
| attacking and you've been proven wrong through and through.

So... it comes down to this does it Bob! First you brag about how it was
your doing ... and when the water starts to boil... you blame your wife!? If
it was your wife... with very little sailing experience and far fewer hours
on a sailboat... let alone navigation... she did a fine job! You on the
other hand... after years of experience and ongoing boast of how great a
sailor you are.... can't navigate, can barely sail.... and won't offer your
supposed "experience" to assist your mate!! You can't navigate and are a
poor excuse for a sailor Bob! That's a Fact!

Billy Jane was
| either dead wrong or never even sailed into Port Jeff at night. I doubt he
has,
| seeing how he daysails.
| See you in Norwalk this weekend, Jane!

I take it Suzanne is navigating and in charge.... in case you don't make
it?

Bwahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!

Isn't that just Typical!!! No chart, just a cruising Guide, spot checks on
GPS because his batteries were dying.... what makes you think he was even
aware of a tide?
