Greetings all.

I regret that I found it necessary to re-do my
Novice Lessons because the old format in which
I originally created them was no longer compatible
with Homestead's new programming.

This being the case, I was unable to add or make
corrections which is an untenable situation for a
sailor. I have just completed putting the Novice
Lessons in the new format but I lost all the great
comments that appeared in the guestbook. But,
you can still read the old guest book if you wish
by going to:

http://www.homestead.com/captneal/lesson.html

I'm hoping maybe I can migrate it into the new
page but I'll have to check the help section to
see if it's possible.

If any of you, while reading these updated lessons,
finds what you think is a mistake or outdated material
please let me know here or by e-mail. It will be possible
and easy to make corrections now.

Thank you for your interest in sailing and learning about
sailing. Hope to see you cruising.

It wasn't really necessary.

It would actually be better for those interested in sailing if you
simply abandoned the site altogether.

It's just garbage and only serves your own peculiar "needs" anyway.

You don't seriously think a babe like that would ever
be mistaken for you, do you? Bwahahahahahaahah!

I can't stand it. You all see the type of women I have
aboard my boat when you visit my Web Home yet
you and LP and LS and _NH/)_ and Ms. Carroll
are all having fantasies about crewing on my fine
yacht. Give it up, girls, you had your chance and
you didn't take it seriously so now you're cast aside
like so much old, rusty anchor chain.

And YOU know nothing about Homestead.com.

They had an express editor and a complicated editor
and I used the express editor for making the Novice
Lessons because they are just a text (albeit excellent
text)

It turns out the text boxes in the new Homestead
sitebuilder software could not contain so much text.
So, I stuck with the express editor until I had to make
changes and then had to start from scratch because
the express editor stuff when opened for editing always
had a pop-up window saying 'file no longer on server'.
Couldn't even edit it with the express editor because it
also seems to be no longer available.

Anyway I've got everything up and running again using
the new site editor and it all looks great and it all works
great.

The page Jon said was messed up was the old, express
editor page. It is on their server somewhere but their
server just can't locate it for downloading and editing.

It's really not as much to do with HTML but their programs
and server errors in filing.

What I just did is deleted the old express editor index2 file -
funny that it can be deleted from the server but the server
cannot find it to download, huh? Then I saved the index10
html as index2 html so now index 10 and index2 are both
the same updated file.

Identical twins. There's no counter any more so it matters not
if there is one page with two different names.

And YOU know nothing about my boom except the
crap here mostly from that idiot Bobsprit. My boom
broke and then I fixed and reinforced it internally-
not the other way around. It is now stronger than
when new. It has been through far worse winds and
it's still intact.

You seem to be a backwards kind of fellow. I

Wrong again, Mr. Bill! Beating into half a gale without reefing
was the cause of the breakage. My modification resulted in
a stronger boom than before the breakage. A smart man always
strives to make sure the same failure doesn't happen twice.

Had I simply purchased another identical boom it would have
broken too. What I accomplished with a little common sense
and practical know-how gave me a boom that is the equal of
anything I could have bought for twice the price of the original
and it only cost me about twenty bucks. I'd say that's being
a winner in more ways than one.

Too bad you always lose.

It broke because of something that was done to it out of ignorance, and without
the proper skills. YOU broke the boom. Then you proceeded to compound the error
with your comical chicken rancher style repair.

Hardly. Women on a sailboat are a giant pain in the posterior!

Women belong ashore where they can enjoy air-conditioned
surroundings and thousands of gallons of water to wash themselves
five or six times a day so they can hide their own smell which
they find offensive. They slather themselves with enough perfume
and cosmetics to sink or suffocate a battleship. They all have a
hair fetish and they cannot keep their hands off their own hair -
always fiddling with and flicking it around. More money is
spent on women's hair care in this country than the entire
military budget. It's sad and it's sick.

Women are best taken and left. That's the way nature intended
it. You know it in your heart that's this is the case.

How do you figure that? If I knew the boom wouldn't take it
and had I not stuffed that big wave on the tack so it swung me
around so fast I would have made it out with no breakage.

One must push his boat to the limit to know her weaknesses.
It was fortunate the boom broke when it did when it was
so easy and safe to tuck tale and run back in a marked
channel. If the boom had broken in other circumstances
it might have portended disaster.

I'd say that makes me a sailor.
