May I point out that Bob has been overdosing on trepidation for many years.
While caution is wise.... Bob has a keen ability to take it to the
ridiculous end of the spectrum.

Yes Oz... there are many "tricky" entries in lots of places. Reference to
charts, being aware of the tides and dare I say it... verification of
seafloor topography between charted depths and sounder readings ;-).... all
assist in making port safely, in a timely manner. If you combine the above
with Radar and GPS it becomes fairly obvious that with basic mathematical
skills and some navigational understanding... a comprehensive picture of
what is required to access the destination can be formulated in short order

Caution... yes of course... but that is far removed from the abject fear
and panic of uncertainty due to poor preparation and lack of a fundamental
understanding in regards to basic navigation as exemplified by Bob.

Why is that Mooron must constantly attack Suzanne? She did a fine job with no
mistakes. Taking some extra time to be certain of an entry will be the MO until
she's gotten more time to practice.
Mooron has NO point. None at all, I'm afraid...but he's sure hopping mad about
getting his ass kicked!

Bwahahahahaha!

Are there no depths to which Bob will not sink? Hiding behind Suzanne's
skirts is an act of such cowardice, that I am surprised Bob would even
attempt it!

mistakes.

....... And apparently she did it without any help from her useless husband!

Surely, if you knew anything at all about navigation, then you would at
least do a bit of your own passage planning???? .... just so that you could
help if needed???

I'm sure that he is really feeling your pain. I'm in danger of feeling a
small amount of pity for you after the ignorance that you have displayed
recently.


Bwahahahahaha!

Your "Bwahahahah" has a slightly demented ring to it. Reminds me of "One
Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest".

Hiding indicates that Suzanne did a poor job. In fact she did a GREAT job.
She had very little help from me.

That certainly matches the picture of your pathetic little escapade that is
emerging.

Now, 'fess up, who else was aboard?

After your repeated failings to answer anything related to navigation... I
suspect she would have wisely refused any input you might have to offer.

CM

Not only did I answer your questions, but you even commented that it was "fun"
once I had done so!
You are caught lying again!

Just as I thought.... the lights from the buoys confused Bob... so he
blames his wife!

CM

so he
blames his wife!

Yes! Let's all "blame" Suzanne for doing a great job doing nav at night for the
1st time!
I hope to blame her again!
