The Final Blow
 

The facts as reported speak for themselves.... the follow ups and multiple
refusals to answer questions only substantiate Bob's inability to comprehend
navigation. In a sound well equipped vessel he proved to have difficulty
negotiating entry to a clearly marked harbour when all the latest
navigational tools were aboard.

It places his skill level at an all time low... and yet his pride fails to
allow him to understand that fact.

Oz, are you really going to carry on supporting this rubbish?

You were there?

Worse! Skitch just admitted that the Ferry is there. He says you can't see the
lights from outside, which is not true. As we entered we could see the ferry
and the mini-treatment center.

I know that!
.....but, Bob quoted it! Why did Bob quote it? Duh!

because Mooron and Billy Jane questioned that the comments on entering Port
Jeff don't exist.
They were proven wrong.
Now they can question whoever wrote the book, but I see no reason not to
observe a well regarded text currently in it's 14th edition and carried by
many. It's a great addition to charts and GPS. It even gives VHF contact info.
The guide was how we got the free mooring in Morris Cove.

they've just dug themselves deeper and deeper.

RB

You gonna need a backhoe to fill in that hole they dug!

Not at all. They'll just go on posting this same comments again and again. They
think that if they continue to put a bend in the fishing pole, the battle is
still on.
Sadly, it's over and they lost. Mooron's best "attack" was about me forgetting
the batteries for the GPS which was pretty silly of me, but effected nothing.
The return trip was Line of sight all the way.

Thing is Bubbles is at pains to admit that he is NOT an expert and
gets howled down for that admission.

Quite so. I'm no master sailor. I'm still learning. But it's clear that I have
the right attitude to sail safely and sober.
Next season will be the Martha's Vineyard trip, which we are super-thrilled
about. Still not a "major" voyage, but the best we can plan for while Suzanne
is still in school.

So now you state you didn't use the radar....
bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!

It is working isn't it?

Yup, works great. For most of the night we had it one to look out for storms.
It was not needed to make the entrance. While Suzanne is learning basic nav,
the radar may confuse things since we're pretty new to it.
We entered port jeff, after observing the comments in the LIS guide using GPS
and chart only.

Uh, that's like saying Mooron drinks once in a while.

Must you ask boobs for permission before you speak, or does he just give a
squeeze when it's your turn?

If that was true, then it shows good qualities in the skipper.
Pass off the job to someone who you have confidence can do the job
well or better than yourself.

The Final Blow.. it just gets better...
 

So you had a fully functional radar and didn't use it to easily confirm your
entry... instead you utilized a chart and GPS with an accuracy of 60
meters?????


Bwahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!

What a display of total incompetence Bob!
