Yes. I did assume it was some sixty-year-old beer-drinking
sailor-man trapped in the body of an inflatable Pam-Anderson-like
doll, but I wondered where the name came from. Maybe he just liked
the initials.

Wrong guess...it isn't Neal....

Well done Captain Neal, but no one would ever believe that was written by a
female. Not the content or sentiment, (hell, I date a women who has that
good a sense of humor), but the style is intelligent, funny, ......and
manly. You are too much a man to imitate a woman. Even Tootsie couldn't
make that believable. Also, your command and use of language is unique,
forensically so.
Keep it up though. You are at your best when you are either laughing or
teaching.

Ya gotta hand it to ole Cappie! He gets the nail on the head everytime!

He's right about women and sailing. Women shouldn't be allowed on a
sailboat
unless it's firmly tied to the pier. As a true sailing bombshell I know
this
first hand.

Let's look at the evidence. Take a man sailing by himself. We've some good
examples here. Ole Cappie skillfully negotiates the eddies and gybes of
the
Caribbean singlehanded. Captain America, who is a few bricks short of a
full
load, sails halfway acroos the Pacific and back. Schoonertrash sails a
Westerly Centaur (the boat of choice of the Penguin in Batman) thousands
of
miles singlehanded - without mishap. He could even enjoy picking his nose
with his thumbs and no nagging of a woman.

Now what happens when you add a woman? You wind up sailing in a fresh
water
lake with a chatterbox galley maid.

What happens when you add several women? You become Bobsprit.

Add a few dozen more and you're Rick tugs, full throttle ahead plowing the
ferry boat into the dock.

Why are women such a distraction? It's the pheremones. They distract men.
Poor Bobsprit, his women are so scantily clad that their pheremone glands
are uncovered. It's no wonder they can drive farm beasts several miles
inland insane.
Women have no place on a boat. Look at what happened in France. The Queen
Mary was beached and the gangplank collapsed under the weight of fat
housewives. They can only bring tragedy!

Don't forget the Sirens in the Odyssey and the Captain of the Pinafore -
women only subtracted from their manly sailing skills. It's historical
fact,
documented through the ages.

Unless, of course, they are famous single handed sailorettes such as
myself!
Confident, poised and torpedoes straight ahead - that's me!

Babs, the bombshell with the biggest tips!
