ColRegs are all inclusive. Except for those who don't understand the
English (or any other ) language or think themselves above the law. I wanna
be there when Mr. Sea Lawyer tries to tell that sea story to the Coast Guard
with nothing going for him but his . . . . in his hand. Gee Judge! When
that law was written they only had dugout canoes with poles. . . . uhhhh .
.. . .you mean using paddles counts????? Damn .. . . HOW much was that
fine? You gotta be kiddin. .. . How many days? uhhhh Damn .. .

Don't worry about it Nav. There's always some DS who tries to get over.
They usually spend all their time justifying simple minded silliness .
..Kinda like being a mouth piece for J. Carville insteading of thinking for
oneself . . . instead of spending it on the water. But to keepthings
interesting ....try this discussion point. In the same vein as Democrats
and Republicans being two sides of the same coin. Bobsprit and Neal .. .
..Twins with no difference. Give it a fair, impartial and objective
evaluation: The answer is "None"

Except . .. . . . .I have to admit Neal has got one thing going for
him....better judge of women than I. Gotta give credit where it's due.

Speaking of which and spending time on the water ...we've got our marching.
.. .or rather sailing schedule. Back to the future (across the 180th again).
Should be outta here by Thanksgiving on either this ship or another one and
that's something to be Thankful for! Another five six months of this and the
refit should be paid for. . . . . .and I'm ALMOST back on schedule.

Still I've got another week or so and then the fun of .asa is over.
