I do Capt., but it expired Nov 99. Does that still count?

Thanks alot, like I needed one more thing to do. Aarrgh!

Maybe one of these days you idiots will get up the nerve
to do what I do - sail where I want when I want. To me
it's all the same. The Keys, The Bahamas, Chesapeake Bay,
Mobile Alabama, Rum Cay, Bermuda, George Town, Long Island,
Isla Meujera, Key West, Flamingo, Okracoke, Venice,
Panama City, Nashville, Turks and Caicos, Haiti, etc. etc.

Jeez, Simple, I've been to a few of those places and never had my
passport stamped.


Pilots who stay in the airport or in their airplanes don't
have to clear customs in the Bahamas, Haiti, Turks and
Caicos etc. Are you really a pilot?

Hey, little one, have you ever heard of the Tennessee/Tombigbee Waterway
and the Cumberland River? Yes, one can sail from Mobile, Alabama to
Nashville, Tennessee.

You sailed to Nashville? Or motored there?

To some of us there's a big difference.

S.Simon - knows how to spell 'turd', at least

I think you just answered your own question. Yes.

Only if you promise to make the stall horn wail on take off.... and let me
hold on tight for the roll and dive.

I've only ever heard the stall horn once. That was enough for me...

I was taught to fly "by the seat of my pants" and it was always in *hot*
mode. ;-)

We were taking off from Fort Franklin on a flight to Norman Wells and the
young pilot asked me if I ever did a "Fighter Take-Off"... to which I
replied No. Well-l-l-l-l... he cracked that baby and at the very end of the
runway pulled back hard and this little plane just shot up... a couple of
seconds into the climb I heard the stall horn and an "Oh Oh" from the
pilot.. he caught it and eased back on the lift I guess. He circled up to
get what he called "Working Altitude"... I should have known then I was in
for a fun trip. We did some rolls and he showed me some stalls and
recoveries on the way over. He said something about how it was stuff he had
to learn to get his license. It was a blast. It's all heavy bush below,
remote stuff... they'd be a month finding you if you crashed. So we're
flying along... much higher than normal for an approach to the Wells... I
pointed out that I thought the little community down below us must be Norman
Wells. He looked down and agreed.... then he said "Hold On" and we dipped
sideways... rolled and went into what looked like to me as a straight dive
for the ground. What a friggin RUSH!! I loved it. I had the headphones on
and heard the tower... they were telling him to pull up... he didn't until I
was certain we would pancake. When he did finally pull up it felt like my
heart was dropping into my stomach and I'm sure I saw the wings bent and
flex. He did a perfect 3 point smooth as silk touchdown at the edge of the
runway and we pulled in at the apron nicely. I requested this same pilot for
my next two trips. I don't know what happened to him but it sure made flying
a real adrenalin shock.

"I, on the other hand, have sailed thousands of miles
and have sailed internationally ..."

Inside the boundary line I guess, that would account for the "nearshore"
limitation on the operators permit.

What a joke ...

Tell us, Rick, again what boat do you sail. Please provide
a link to your website showing your boat off. Also please
give us the number on your USCG Six Pak license again
so we can check to see if you're not just another fraud
like otnmbrd and Ms. Shen.
