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.

RB

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.

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.

RB

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.

Your wife can take it!

Bwahahahaha!

RB

But you seem to like it.

Based on this idea, I should also keep everyone tethered as well and wearing
PFDs with signal lights.
Really, Jonathan! You're being very silly. We're talking about two fenders on
deck in calm conditions for a few hours. NO WAY can anyone be hurt by them
unless they explode and create a time vortex bringing a T-Rex on deck and
thereby capsizing the boat.
Stop being silly.

RB

No. This has nothing to do with being foolish, of which you are
an expert. This has to do with using some common sense and
not leaving obvious hazards on deck. Unless you're using the
fenders, they should be stowed. Now, if you had shown us a
picture whereby one of your crew was using a fender for a
headrest, then you could make the claim that it was being used
and would be stowed or was stowed. As it is, you're the one
being silly... not fessing up to something that's blatant, and obviously
wrong.

Jonathan, you fail to grasp the obvious.
A difference that made no difference was no difference.
Because of the simple logic above, you are wrong about the fender issue. It was
not a liability or problem. Not ever.
Sorry.
Truly.
But you're wrong wrong, as Donal should be indicating by agreeing with you.
