I thought this boat was professionally surveyed by a great surveyor
when it was purchased less than 1 year ago. I wonder what else is
ready to fail that wasn't caught.

I hope it's not my radio! That thing made a shout to Jersey City last night!
Only lasted a few minutes.

Did they put your mast back up yet?

The mast was stepped for less than two hours, went right back up. Why the
interest?

RB

Stepped for less than two hours. Bwahahahahahahaah!

Nope... you said it all right
Posted about it during your pre-launch check up report. Matter of fact you
specifically referred to them.

engine.
| Such women do exist if you have the character to attract them.

Of course they can Bob... lots of them do. Did I state otherwise? Have I
ever stated otherwise?
Of course not.... you know that. Don't be a chump all your life and act
like it's some miracle or something.

...but checking your chocks with a knife along the end grain and stating a
tight unmovable wedge is rotting on the core... Bwahahahahahahahahaaaa!!!

Nice Troll Bob!

No it won't Bob.... not in a month of Sundays. Not in end grain and there is
now way in hell your concrete queen can tell me wood will rot from the
inside out! You want to know why Bob?? I'll tell you why a knife is not
used to check for rot... the blade slices the grain and will give you little
if any feed back as to the density or uniformity of the wood. A rounded
point pressed into the wood will not only give viable density but also show
the strength of the wood grain. When sounding strakes you would also listen
for the sound it makes on impact.

Once more you've proved how little you can absorb and how idiotic you can be
when it comes to advise you seek and yet refuse to believe.

| As usual.

Exactly!

What are you ... Brain Dead?? You boast at how much this woman knows...
tell me she inspected it and poked at the chocks with a knife... if your
mast was loose you dipwad of a dork.. it would have shown movement and the
chock would've pushed out.

How do you even figure out how to untie the dock lines... never mind
navigate??

So now you state you unstepped the mast at pre-launch and restepped without
even holding one of the friggin chocks??? Bwahahahahahahahahahaaa!!!

Oh the must have fun with you on the C&C list Bob!!

Ha ha Ha Ha Ha.... tell us again Boy Genius .. why fore and aft isn't
lateral?? You gonna tell me now the orientation of the boat determines that
front or back is not a Side?????

Bwahahahahahahahahaaaa

Can you get any denser Boy Wonder?

Well Bob.... it's a standard method of checking for dry rot. But don't let
the fact that I've worked with boat builders and fisherman since I was 14...
on wooden Cape Islanders from garboard to sheer strakes.... and think I
would know anything about wood in a marine environment. Don't even let it
enter into consideration that I've replaced and repaired lapstrake,
edge-nailed and carvel planked boats for years when I was a teenager...
enter into the possibility I might have a clue about wood in a marine
environment. Perish the thought that after 6 seasons of hand caulking every
seam below the water line with oakum and seaming with white lead & putty to
the exact concave to flush the seam when the planks swelled..... interfere
with your beliefs about my knowledge in this area. Have you ever selected,
cut, seasoned and pegged a stem post replacement?

Now Bob... you still want to talk to me about wood and boats? Please tell me
how your oak shims might be rotting inside.... Maybe you got worms in your
wood.... Bwahahahahahahahahahaaaa!!

CM

I defy you to post where I quoted her as such. Go ahead, show everyone you're
not a liar!
