Default I was in one of my rare moods.

I was in one of my rare moods of doubt. Why should I chose
such a life, I asked, and called myself every kind of fool,
while all the time I knew I would yearn for it all again when
I had been a little while on shore. Something makes me want
to fight the elements, to endure hardships, to feel the luxury
of sailing into a strange and beautiful port when it is all over . . .
And so the ship strained on, the seas crashed overhead, and
I lay there and knew that I loved it.

And just what, exactly, does that have to do with a degenerate old
wannabe squatting on a plastic toy boat with a broken boom tied to an
engine block in a Florida swamp?

Are you pretending you share some spiritual connection with real sailors?

Bwahahahahahahahahaha

Get your own life master of wannabes.

You have never experienced these sentiments so well
expressed by Robinson. I have and can understand
exactly how he feels. Your showpiece restored tugboat
simply isn't seaworthy enough to survive a storm at sea.

EG A "storm at sea" .... Neal, I doubt you've ever seen a "STORM" at
sea .... some minor blows, maybe .....but a storm? ..... unlikely.

A storm is defined as a force 11 and above. I've experienced many
a force 11 at sea. Piece of cake! It's only 75 miles per hour. No
big deal for a well-found yacht with competent crew.

ROFLMAO You prove, once again, what a phony you are, to all of those who
have been to sea, in a storm. If you had truly been through one, you'd
know it IS and certainly can be, a big deal, be it boat or ship,
competent crew, or not.

Oh Keeerist, here we go again ... spoken like a true wannabe who has
never been to sea.


You'd probably **** yourself the first time you were out of sight of land.

Of course, you did include the qualifiers of "well-found" and "competent
crew" both conditions which certainl exclude you and your broken down
piece of plastic crap.

Why do you continue to denigrate sailors and seamen by counting yourself
among them?

Get a life, Nil. You aren't a sailor, aren't fit to clean heads on a
seagoing vessel, and would be laughed off any real boat.

Proof that you have never been in a storm, let alone learnt the Beafort
scale.

You have a tug Rick?

Saw a 1927 tug on the GSA auctions.

http://www.gsaauctions.gov

What do you think? Is she a money maker?

Id like to push around ship, if the moneys right.
