Not another, the suspense just kills me.

Oh, hush. You'll love it and you know it!

There are none so blind as those that will not see. None so stupid as
boob****, either.

Playing with it does not count. What's it for?

1st he says I don't adjust it. Now he sees that I do.
I adjust it depending on who's behind the wheel. Some of the Alien girls

have
long hair and it catches.

I thought you said you got a hernia from lifting a bicycle?

FYI, it's not a rule. It's a good suggestion.

Nope, virtually everyone here has experienced injuries. I haven't and we

have a
lot of people out sailing every year. This summer we had more than 70

people
out sailing.
Think I'll stick to what works, not someone's rule that makes no apparent
difference.

It's a good suggestion from far better sailors than I. I try
to learn from the advise of others. My suggestion is you
give that a try.

When other sailors sustain injuries and other problems, and my boat doesn't
while sailing more often and with more guests I have to realize that it's my
advice they require.
For short sails in fair weather fenders on deck effect nothing. No one can
prove otherwise.

The past cannot predict the future. You're a loser if you don't
think common safety is important.

Removing fenders for a two hour fair weather sail is "tidy" but has zero effect
on safety.
