No Sailors!
I'm making this single "return" post because I'm dissapointed in the so-called
sailors around here and within this forum. For the last couple of weeks we've been sailing, rain or shine and getting in many night sails as well. This is a great time of the year and the wind is nearly constant and the heavy heat gone! But what do I see? The regular gang of losers in here, posting away while they should be sailing! Now, I understand that due to your 8-6 jobs, it's tough to get out there, but why even bother to have a boat? This weekend we saw VERY few boats sailing on the Sound between Norwalk and Oyster bay (Sun) and Saturday was only a bit more active. In the evenings we rarely see a sailboat, especially if temps are below 60. Amazing and sad. Today I have a crew of 9 girls! The rest of you will be home watching the parade, I suppose. You should all be deeply, deeply ashamed. Millions will be hungry today and yet you are graced to actually own a sailing yacht, be it modest or grand. Yet all of you treat the poor vessels like cars! Wake up and smell your good fortune and GO SAILING! Capt: Robert B. (Someone who actually sails!) C&C 32 NY http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/GHOSTGIRLS.html |

That's because they spend their days posting in here trying to impress
everyone with their over inflated ego's - Yup! It's sad, really. I'm just a modest sailor with a small 32 foot good ole boat. My wife and I love to sail and we do whatever we can to get out there 3-4 days a week. Sometimes more. I wish people would post less and sail more. Oh well. RB |

Hey Nutsy,
If you read the NG you should have discovered that the group came to the conclusion that it was a better group "Without Bobsprit" |

Oh,come on Nutsy,
I'm just a modest sailor You don't expect anyone in THIS GROUP, to accept Modesty for you or a Sailor for you? I've nibbled at your bait but spit it back at you. What makes you think another sailing tale between City Island and Oyster Bay is anything but BORING. It is only you that thinks turning "Eton Neck" is the same as Cape Horn. Grow up! Continual reporting of sailing in that Step Ladder Stern Boat, in a 30 mile radius is like a little kid wading in the water up to his ankles and then running up the beach for praise from his Momma. It is wearing very thin. If it makes you happy, OK. We'll have to put up with it. So here is for you, " WEEEE what a good, brave, Sailor Boy!!! Let's see how a Brave Sailor Boy, can sail to Conn. IN THE DARK. Isn't he wonderful. Oh my, we are so proud of him!! (NOT) Ole Thom |
No Sailors!
What makes you think another sailing tale between City Island and Oyster
Bay is anything but BORING. Sorry, Thom, I can't agree with you. Nothing about sailing is boring. Not even a day sail on familiar ground. Even resting at anchor is wonderful as is sleeping below or working on the boat. I just can't understand your anger on this point. RB |

So, you consider yourself a "real" sailor like BS? You need to start reading
more of these posts. While there are a fair # of blowhards in this NG, most of them can back up a large percentage of what they boast about, IMHO. Even Neal. Last time I checked, needing 9 people to crew at 32' CRUISER is absolutely pathetic. Living on the doorstep of the Atlantic and never having sailed out of sight of land is INCREDIBLY pathetic. Boasting about your sailing abilities under these circumstances indicates psychological problems well beyond being a "sick puppy". Maybe I'm being overly judgmental, but what qualifies you to give yourself the title of "real sailor" Give us a brief rundown of your qualifications, then tell us why you think the originator of this dreck should carry the same title.

While there are a fair # of blowhards in this NG, most
of them can back up a large percentage of what they boast about, Them above is probably the dumbest statement yet. I'm one of the only people here who posts pics of his boat sailing. No matter that it's short local sails. That will change soon. The POINT is that we sail often. Very often. Even if we can squeeze in just two or three hours like last night. We love to sail. I see very few people here doing the same and "backing it up." In fact most of the people here probably sail every few weekends and that's it. For the most part, NO ONE here has been absent from the group long enough to claim any voyage much more significant than my short 3 or 4 day trips. In addition, next summer we'll be starting off with a trip to Martha's Vineyard, a reasonably long stint. There will be pics to "back it up." Most of you are pretenders. Some won't even post pics of your boats, even within friendly discourse! What's that about!? Face it. I'm no professional sailor, but I'm more honest than most of the frauds that populate this NG! And that's a fact! Hooooh ahhhh! RB |

Hey Nutsy,
I think it's great that you get to use you boat often. I think it's great if it really makes you feel good. I'm just wondering if you could get as much pleasure sailing without all your damn crowing and damning other people without even a clue of how they sail. A little trip around the Bay is a good enjoyable activity but it sure as hell isn't headline news as you make it out to be. When you do it over and over and over again I can't see how it doesn't get on YOUR nerves. It sure as hell is BORING enough. So boring that so many times I just don't open your posts. When I do open one, there is the same old ****. I sailed to Oyster Bay and all you @%^ didn't. Grow up, Baby Sailor Boy, Real sailor could care less if you have more one hour trips than them. I don't give a **** if you sail in the dark. Have Susy give you a hug and a kiss and tell you what a "Wonderful Sailor Boy" you are. The ASA is sick and tired of being BORED with it. Oh, and by the way, I'm also sick and tired of your posts of damning other peoples vessels. Would it help if Donal mounted a "Step Ladder" on the stern of his Benny? Get some new songs, do something different to post about or just shut the hell up. Write about it after you've done it. We're also damn tired of reading your posts of plans that are never fulfilled Now, Nutsy, this isn't my feeling alone. There where many posting about the group being better without you. Try to fit into the group. I hope you do but if you don't it will mean little difference to Ole Thom. I'll only open your posts and replies occasionally from here on out to just see if you are maturing AND; "I'LL DRINK TO THAT!!" Here hoping you become an asset rather than a ass. Ole Thom |
No Sailors!
When you do it over and over and over again I can't see how it doesn't
get on YOUR nerves. It sure as hell is BORING enough. Sorry again, Ole Thom...and quite sorry for you as well. Simply nothing about sailing is boring to me. I'm happy the minute the sails fill and it matters not where I'm actually sailing. I'm not out there to prove anything or battle the elements or win a race or circle the globe. I just want to sail. I love it, and so do a few others who understand what it's all about. Maybe one day you'll get "there." RB |

Now, Nutsy, this isn't my feeling alone

You certainly act as if there is a contest. Not at all. As much as I have hoped otherwise, there has never been any contest here. Perhaps if I could find a group where people actually sail their boats, a bit of friendly competition might arise, but not among this sorry group of lubbers! Capt RB Always the Winner! |
