I had volunteered to fix a friends weather fax--a preamplifer in the antenna needed it's antenna feedline soldered back on, and also agreed to help move this 44' sloop up to Old Saybrooke, at the mouth of the Connecticut River. It seemed like a good idea since the weather was warm and winds were predicted to be light 10 knots 1' seas, and westerly. So I was looking forward to a warm day's sail, with the wind behind us the whole way, and a chance of showers late in the day. Nothing could have been farther from the truth. The idea was to give the boat a head start on it's annual trip to te islands. When I arrived at the boat, the winds were from the east and strong. It was overcast and drizzling. I started having doubts about going, but didn't want to let my friends down, and it looked like a day where experienced crew would be in demand. I fixed the weather fax, checked the receiver, and went to check the weather forecast. It was the local weather than made me think I should flake out. Ulitimately, I decided I would go along because I felt that the other two, one experience, and one inexperienced, really needed another hand along. The skipper, a fellow named Tim, was a fine sailor. The other crew Cecil, was a rookie. Cecil got seasick before we left the harbor, but was helpful getting the main up. What was predicted to be a 10 knot westerly turned into a 30-35 knot easterly. I've never before seen Long Island Sound look like the Atlantic. Tim took the helm out of the harbor. Inside the protection of the islands, the wind felt like about 20 knots. At first we just motored, and going straight into the waves which kept getting bigger and bigger. The current was running counter to the wind and we were looking forward the the change over--thinking this would stop compressing the waves. Motoring was nearly useless as the boat made poor forward progress. Once we were in Long Island Sound, with 100 miles of fetch to the east, the seas became very big--at times 10-12 feet, breaking and square, and about 35' apart or less. Soon Tim, without a foul weather jacket, was getting soaked at the helm. Buckets of water in the face. I donned my foul weather jacket, knowing he'd want to put his jacket on and would need to be relieved soon. I pointed out that if heeled the boat would not pound so much, and Tim must have been thiking the same thing. he decided to motor sail and Cecil and I hoisted the main with a single reef. The boat took off on a port tack steering between 120 and 135, and motion was somewhat better. Tim was good and soaked and became very cold. He was not prepared for such wind and cold weather, and had not brought enough warm cloths. I soon found out that while working on deck hoisting sails made me hot, and at the helm doping less strenuous work, I began to get cold. Now that we were in the center of Long Island Sound, the winds were stronger than ever. We still took breaking waves over the bow that cleared the dodger, every few minutes. I took my eye-glasses off since I could not see anything with them covered with salt water. Apparent wind speeds were in the 34-36 knot range. Salt spray stung my face. The wind and wave continued to build to a maximum of about 35 knots, and then tapered off to about 30 knots again. We were making about 5 knots way. I should have put on the autopilot and gotten out of the wind. Frankly it was fun driving, and I did not realize at the time, how the combination of the wind and the cold was affecting me. The water was not terribly cold, but after being relieved from watch, I found my fingers were stiff and barely functional. After a long two hour watch, I was very cold. Tim took over again, since Cecil was sick. I didn't have my hat, which I'm convinced has a signficant effect on my heat retention. I needed a few minutes flexing my fingers before I trusted my grip to climb up to the dodger to get out of the weather. Off watch and inactive I found I became even colder, and started to feel slight nausea. I was debating going below to catch a knap or staying on deck to fight the nausea. Now I had a good view of the Apparent Wind gauge. It topped out at 39.5 knots apparent. Typically it was 34-36 knots apparent wind speed depending on how who well the boat was steered. I think the winds were pretty consistent, it was the boat speed varied the apparent wind and depended on the size of the waves that hit us and our heading, which varied substantially. Driving while ducking bucket sized face shots of seawater was not the best. I was disappointed we didn't hit 40 knots. I wished we were sailing downwind, we could have made it to NYC in the same time it took to beat this short distance to weather. I later learned some front that was expected to pass to the north came more southerly and that is was clobbered us. None of the weather web sites predicted what actually happened until after the event. None of them that I could find recorded the winds we saw. Temprature at 6pm was 48 degree F. Anyway, we began talking about bail out options and Tim revisted his bail out destination to New Haven. We were adjacent to Stratford, but our draft would be a problem there. We talked about Milford also. Milfords Gulf is a nice protected "outer harbor", if we wanted to proceed, but docking and warm food appealed to all of us. I ducked down below to try and clean up the mess the cabin was in and and to fetch a chart. I managed to do that, but that time spent below turned my stomach, and some time later I discovered that barfed up my 6 hour old breakfast of eggs and toast. Those eggs stuck like glue to the deck, and added a little color to what had become a dreary day! Later, I had some dry heaves and Cecil decided to help me sing a duet in parallel. Hehehe! I feel bad that being sick made him sick, but I laugh about it now. Knowing we had to decide quickly if we wanted to make port in daylight, and with one person very sea sick, and another (me) somewhat seasick, but functional, and all three of us cold--especially Tim, Tim bumped up our target to Milford Harbor, and I agreed as I was thinking along those lines myself. Cecil was beyond caring, unable to comment, but at least he was warm with a nice knit hat and protection from the dodger.. I eased the main as we reached off and the boat became more comfortable. Once we hit the lee of Milford, the sea calmed, even Cecil felt better. Later we saw a fireboat, blasting through the waves, completely obscured as it punched through each wave. One crewman saw us heading for Milford, and later stopped by at our berth to chat about the weather when we got in. Every yard worker came out in the drizzle to ask us about the conditions. Tim and I both told the same story, it was the worst sea's we had ever seen Long Island Sound, and the 100 mile fetch made it seem like we were in the Atlantic. Somewhere during the day I decided to haul my boat out for the season. I don't care how nice the forecasters say it will be this weekend, it is time to quit for the season. My brother drove over to Milford and met us, drove us to dinner, paid for by "glad to be alive" Cecil, and later gave us all a ride back to our cars. After going through this with Tim, I feel like I've made a friend for life. Neither of us had ever seen Long Island Sound that rough. And we talked about the event. I told him before we left I was considering "not going out" and he told me he would have gone out, but surely have turned back sooner without me. Knowing when to quit is good. Perhaps knowing when not to start is even better. Still, I would not have given up the experience, because I made two good friends, and spent and enjoyable dinner with them and my brother Dwight who went out of his way to help us all out. In the mean time another more serious story was playing out which we discussed over dinner... Another friend of ours, who shall remain nameless, wearing only shorts, a shirt and foul weather jacket, left about the same time to pick up a "free" Sabre 28 near Liberty Landing. He planned to pick it up with a whaler w/40HP motor. He had recently done a quick and dirty patch to the hole in the boat that sunk it originally. So that is how he got such a good deal. The motor did not work because it had sunk, and at this point the mast was not stepped. He motored to Jersey City in the whaler, then hip towed the Sabre using the outboard for propulsion and the Sabre's wheel for steering, which allowed him to duck behind the coaming for some protection. I've towed like this, it is very tough steering and requires lots of helm to stay on course. Soon he was past Hell Gate and starting to feel the wind, and waves. He spent the whole trip worried about whether his patch would hold or not. He nearly bailed out at City Island, but instead contacted a buddy of ours at Mamaronek, using the last of his cell phone battery, and ducked into his yacht club. This second guy could not stop laughing. I'm laughing right now, thinking about this unbelievable day he had, that made mine seem tame. We were about to call the Coast Guard for him since we lost communication with him at 3pm, and we knew he was cold, had a dead cell phone, and no radio. But at this point, he managed to make it into port in the dark to everyones relief. "Balls the size of coconuts" was one of the phrases used to decribe this trip. Only a very competent seaman, or crazy seaman, could have or would have attempted to do what he did, and made it as far as he did. Still, I'm simply glad he bailed out and I'm glad is alive to laugh at. The patch could have failed, the motor could have died, and he might have been stuck anchored somewhere overnight with inadequate clothing. Bart Senior |

I've often wondered how an Adkins type diet would hold up in nasty conditions. I ate three eggs before 8 am. I drank two cup of cranberry juice. I didn't have any toast. My buddy Stu spent several seasons working in the Bering Sea on a fishing trawler. I asked him if anyone there tried a high proteit diet. My untested theory was that low carb diets need less water and hence there would be less dehydration when seasick. I'll have to call him and tell him he was right to tell me not to try it. I think it was after 3pm that I got sea sick. At that point I would have thought the eggs would have passed out of my stomach. That is about 7 hours later. The weird thing was I felt more nauseous at the dock in Miford, where it was calm, wiring a splice in the VHF antenna. Later at the restaurant and driving home I still felt nauseous. Once on land I never feel seasick unless I have an ear infection. This happen once in the Bahamas while scuba diving. The cause of the hole in my ear drum was a bad infection from diving that blew a hole in the drum. I'm still very suseptible to ear infections on that side. I'l have to wait and see if another one is coming on.. The other interesting thing was the correlation between being too hot and or too cold with sea sickness. While getting pitched around on deck, hanging on to boom preping to raise the main, I was all zipped up and felt very hot and started to feel a little ill. I unzipped my foul weather top and it passed fairly quickly. That was the main reason I keep my jacket unzipped while on watch. The cooler air helped me feel better. At the helm, my bibs and foam lifejacket kept me fairly dry, and later when I wanted to zip up the jacket, I was busy steering. A short break to partially zip it would have kept me a bit drier--I probably could have steered with my feet for the time necessary to do that. At some point being too cold is as bad as being too hot. Bart On Wed, 5 Nov 2003 08:41:08 -0500, "Jeff Morris" wrote: "Bart Senior" bartsenior wrote in message .. .

How come you didn't keep the off watch below tending a kettle of hot chocolate or soup? Anything without caffeine... although caffeine can be a Godsend, it makes seasickness worse IMHO and definitely tends to increase the risk of dehydration. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

Low carb diets are diuretic - you need to drink LOTS of water to keep hydrated. I've been doing Atkins for nine months (lost 50+ pounds so far), and don't think it has any effect on seasickness. However, I am never seasick, so I am a unreliable test datum. There are great low-carb cold weather boat foods - chili (homemade, not from the can), chicken soup (without noodles), fried steak on a low carb tortilla, single malt whiskey... -- ================= Rick Krementz Saga 35 - Nastianna Jersey City NJ email address available at www.krementz.com ==================== |

The water was not terribly cold, but after being relieved from watch, I found my fingers were stiff and barely functional. After a long two hour watch, I was very cold. Tim took over again, since Cecil was sick. I didn't have my hat, which I'm convinced has a signficant effect on my heat retention. I needed a few minutes flexing my fingers before I trusted my grip to climb up to the dodger to get out of the weather. Off watch and inactive I found I became even colder, and started to feel slight nausea. I was debating going below to catch a knap or staying on deck to fight the nausea. Now I had a good view of the Apparent Wind gauge. It topped out at 39.5 knots apparent. Typically it was 34-36 knots apparent wind speed depending on how who well the boat was steered. I think the winds were pretty consistent, it was the boat speed varied the apparent wind and depended on the size of the waves that hit us and our heading, which varied substantially. Driving while ducking bucket sized face shots of seawater was not the best. I was disappointed we didn't hit 40 knots. I wished we were sailing downwind, we could have made it to NYC in the same time it took to beat this short distance to weather. I later learned some front that was expected to pass to the north came more southerly and that is was clobbered us. None of the weather web sites predicted what actually happened until after the event. None of them that I could find recorded the winds we saw. Temprature at 6pm was 48 degree F. Anyway, we began talking about bail out options and Tim revisted his bail out destination to New Haven. We were adjacent to Stratford, but our draft would be a problem there. We talked about Milford also. Milfords Gulf is a nice protected "outer harbor", if we wanted to proceed, but docking and warm food appealed to all of us. I ducked down below to try and clean up the mess the cabin was in and and to fetch a chart. I managed to do that, but that time spent below turned my stomach, and some time later I discovered that barfed up my 6 hour old breakfast of eggs and toast. Those eggs stuck like glue to the deck, and added a little color to what had become a dreary day! Later, I had some dry heaves and Cecil decided to help me sing a duet in parallel. Hehehe! I feel bad that being sick made him sick, but I laugh about it now. Knowing we had to decide quickly if we wanted to make port in daylight, and with one person very sea sick, and another (me) somewhat seasick, but functional, and all three of us cold--especially Tim, Tim bumped up our target to Milford Harbor, and I agreed as I was thinking along those lines myself. Cecil was beyond caring, unable to comment, but at least he was warm with a nice knit hat and protection from the dodger.. I eased the main as we reached off and the boat became more comfortable. Once we hit the lee of Milford, the sea calmed, even Cecil felt better. Later we saw a fireboat, blasting through the waves, completely obscured as it punched through each wave. One crewman saw us heading for Milford, and later stopped by at our berth to chat about the weather when we got in. Every yard worker came out in the drizzle to ask us about the conditions. Tim and I both told the same story, it was the worst sea's we had ever seen Long Island Sound, and the 100 mile fetch made it seem like we were in the Atlantic. Somewhere during the day I decided to haul my boat out for the season. I don't care how nice the forecasters say it will be this weekend, it is time to quit for the season. My brother drove over to Milford and met us, drove us to dinner, paid for by "glad to be alive" Cecil, and later gave us all a ride back to our cars. After going through this with Tim, I feel like I've made a friend for life. Neither of us had ever seen Long Island Sound that rough. And we talked about the event. I told him before we left I was considering "not going out" and he told me he would have gone out, but surely have turned back sooner without me. Knowing when to quit is good. Perhaps knowing when not to start is even better. Still, I would not have given up the experience, because I made two good friends, and spent and enjoyable dinner with them and my brother Dwight who went out of his way to help us all out. In the mean time another more serious story was playing out which we discussed over dinner... Another friend of ours, who shall remain nameless, wearing only shorts, a shirt and foul weather jacket, left about the same time to pick up a "free" Sabre 28 near Liberty Landing. He planned to pick it up with a whaler w/40HP motor. He had recently done a quick and dirty patch to the hole in the boat that sunk it originally. So that is how he got such a good deal. The motor did not work because it had sunk, and at this point the mast was not stepped. He motored to Jersey City in the whaler, then hip towed the Sabre using the outboard for propulsion and the Sabre's wheel for steering, which allowed him to duck behind the coaming for some protection. I've towed like this, it is very tough steering and requires lots of helm to stay on course. Soon he was past Hell Gate and starting to feel the wind, and waves. He spent the whole trip worried about whether his patch would hold or not. He nearly bailed out at City Island, but instead contacted a buddy of ours at Mamaronek, using the last of his cell phone battery, and ducked into his yacht club. This second guy could not stop laughing. I'm laughing right now, thinking about this unbelievable day he had, that made mine seem tame. We were about to call the Coast Guard for him since we lost communication with him at 3pm, and we knew he was cold, had a dead cell phone, and no radio. But at this point, he managed to make it into port in the dark to everyones relief. "Balls the size of coconuts" was one of the phrases used to decribe this trip. Only a very competent seaman, or crazy seaman, could have or would have attempted to do what he did, and made it as far as he did. Still, I'm simply glad he bailed out and I'm glad is alive to laugh at. The patch could have failed, the motor could have died, and he might have been stuck anchored somewhere overnight with inadequate clothing. Bart Senior |

Read some research recently...wish I could remember where...which found that fluid from any source will combat dehydration. That coffee and tea will not increase the risk at all. I'll see if I can dig it up. I'd be interested in seeing it. FWIW the current wisdom on drinking caffienated drinks... in the short term, yes they help with hydration. However, if you're considering a longer time frame than you can hold your bladder (just for example, the physiology is not related) then you should drink at least as much non-caffienated as well. Caffiene is a diuretic and will pull water out of the body. However falling asleep on watch is a bigger hazard than dehydration for most people.... DSK |

Previously, Both Simmy, and Bushsprit have admitted that they are turned on by
very young girls. When challenged, they reinforced and defended that position. They are a couple of pedophiles. Not the case. Neal and I agreed that young girls who are "developed" are certainly "attractive" to most men. Few men would have kicked a young Britney Spears out of bed, especially if her actual age were not devulged. I've seen 13 year old girls who show signs of becoming beautiful women. This does not mean that I want to sleep with them. Only that I can appreciate beauty in all of it's stages. If a man (who isn't gay) sees a beautiful girl, he's going to be sexually aroused. The sexual design of man does not worry about ages. That's a learned response. It can never overcome instinct. That said, I would not sleep with a child, nor do I want a 22 year old for that matter. Been there, done that. A mature woman is simply more sexually capable. RB |

They already stated in very strong terms that they liked little kids.
That's a matter of record. Nope. As far as I know, Neal has never said he liked little kids, which is far different (if not legally) from finding a teenaged girl attractive. People who like sexless kids ARE sick. But looking at a 16 year old underwear model and claiming she's not sexual is simple and dangerous denial. RB |

Some of the worst weather I saw was while fishing off of New Hamshire. I was in the bow with three friends fishing, and drinking. Now the true drinking contest is determined by how many fish you catch--if you can remember. Everybody else on the boat, over 20 other people, were blowing chunks. Aside from the crew, my buddies and I, up in the bow, were very drunk, having too much fun to get seasick, although I remember feeling somewhat nauseous. Sitting on the cabin top, feet on the bulwarks, I remember my knees were alternatingly n the chest, or else I was fully extended as if I was standing up. We were rolling bigtime! To give you an idea how rough it was. We had two plastic garbage cans up in the bow with us. One for beer and ice, and the other for empties and trash. While walkingforward after ****ing out a gallon of beer, I was pitched up off my feet up into the air and swan dived down head first into the trash can. Three sets of hands pulled me out, set me down and filled my hand with another beer. Fortunately the garbage and one hand cushioned the fall. It just goes to show that having fun, and keeping your mind off nausea, does more to prevent sea-sickness than anything else. I don't know how well drinking would help when off shore, for extended periods. I'll have to try that. I'm sure it would prevent the bile from building up in your stomach, and probably help move things along the digestive tract. And it is easier ot puke beer than stomach acid. So Neal, what do you think about drinking and sea sickness? Does one help prevent the other? Bart On Sun, 9 Nov 2003 17:49:46 -0500, "Simple Simon" wrote: Instant coffee???

Seven or eight is way too young. Young women need
to at least have had their first period before they are ready to have sex. It depends a lot on the culture as well. In some cultures seven or eight is old enough for having sex. In most Western cultures this is considered too young. I maintain if a sailor travels to another part of the world where the culture feels a certain age is OK for having sex then who am I to argue with them. One might as well go with the flow and enjoy. Most of this pedophilia nonsense is proffered by those who wish to subject everyone to their own parochial attitudes. In particular those individuals who find themselves sexually attracted to underage girls seem to think all men have the same cravings and this is not necessarily so. Some of us have a more healthy attitude and respect the rights of young women to make up their own minds. S.Simon wrote in message ...
