Most people get fired up about being able to spend time with family or
friends on their birthday. This guy talks of "scoring gifts" I guess that's
like scaming old people.

Gifts should be a private matter between you and the
people who give them. Listing them in public is vulgar.
Most of us were taught this at an early age. Obviously,
you weren't.

Are you suggesting that this is a surprise to you? Bushsprit has a shoal draft
soul.


Very poetic!

It is true. You appear much younger than any adult I've met.

Happy birthday!

I think I will be. I've resumed my running, now 3 miles a day 4 days a week.
Plus a bike ride now and then. I plan to be around 195-205 or so for a long
time, perhaps more if I build my chest and arms to where they were a few years
ago. My heart rate, BP and cholesterol are on the same level as a fit teenager.
Actually my cholesterol is lower.

No. I mean that he has no depth, himself. It is his soul itself that is shallow.
It doesn't give him any advantages. Your analogy is false.

A shoal draft soul can ONLY sail in waters that are devoid of substance.


It was your false abalogy, not mine. A shoal draft can sail both
shallow and deep, at the choice of its skipper.

ANd waters devoid of substance must surely mean the very deepest
oceans. Try again.

I hope you told everyone nothing but boat stuff.

Congrats on the B-day. I turned 41 at sea. I
was dumb enough to complain about it. The cook
wisely pointed out the alternative.

Tad,

Let's think of Nutsy's Soul,with the shoal draft keel as being used in
shallow, muddy waters with a life having trouble holding a true course
because of unwanted leeway. Wandering thru life needing constant
correction after correction.

Let's hope his coming year will bring him into clearer seas, with a more
favorable wind to let him set a better, more decent course in his life.

I liked the analogy!!

Hope you have a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND A WONDERFUL COMING YEAR!!"
Nutsy

"I'll Drink to That!!"

P/S No I don't maintain a page for pictures of my Boat. I can send you a
picture of it. What would you like to see?

Now _that's_ an appropriate analogy. ANd all we need do, to
save Bobsprit's soul, is to get him better at the helm, capable
of knowing his course, and unafraid to use his centreboard as a
depth-sounder.

Downhaul and reefer?????

I'd guess you're smoking entirely too much reefer.

He he he!

Nice looking boat, though. It doesn't really look like
a motor sailer. It certainly is much nicer than Booby's
cheap looking plastic.

Thanks Simp,

You're right, she doesn't look like a Motorsailer mostly because she
isn't. She is a true Pilothouse Sloop. Even at that, if you look at that
pretty hull below the water line you won't see very many fast cruising
boat any finer or fairer than that.

If you hadn't noticed, that wing on the keel has a slight pitch to
windward when it get heeled. I've surprised a lot of racers with the
upwind ability of that pilothouse sloop.

It also makes 'Pneuma" an easy boat to trim out downwind.

Again I that you for your praise. It is appreciated

We have been socked in by storms for over a week now, so I haven't been
out. I'll get some picture of the interior. That is where I'm the
proudest. I done a bit of customizing down below to make her a good
single hander.

As soon as the weather allows Neal, I'll also get some pictures of the
new main for you. Now that I can send photos again

I agree, she looks sleek and fine
