Absolutely wrong. It doesn't take 2 hours to create a hazard. It only
takes a careless, lazy act (or lack thereof), and a moment's inattention.

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.

Doen't apply to me, I'm afraid. No danger in a fender on deck in conditions
described. You can create you're own rules, but please stay out of mine.

What a sad frustrated old man Scotty is. Twas a time he had humor. Now he's
just bitter, calling me names in a witless gargle of depressing poorly spelled
profanity.

A shame.

Jonathan, if Scotty's agreeing with me, then you must be right!

Not to mention it only looks slightly less lubberly than leaving them
hanging off the lifelines. Funny, doesn't want to look lubberly, but is too
lazy to stow the fenders. Maybe he has a problem tying knots.

You should be afraid. You can't accurately predict the situation whereby the
fender will be a hazard; therefore, the best approach is to eliminate the
hazard,
actually as many hazards as reasonably possible. You haven't done that,
therefore
you're putting yourself and your crew in danger by being lazy.

And, yet again, I'm creating no rules. I'm just pointing out that you're not
following
common sense.

You should review his post, this time with your eyes open.

Are you paraphrasing the Dead when they were talking about Pigpen?
