What really happened to Mooron
 

I did a little checking and found out what really happened to Mooron.

He was always a desperate man chasing every skirt that crossed his
path and when Lady Pilot dropped in looking for Johns she had no
trouble captivation the Oaf of Overproof. She had him wrapped
around her little finger - it was pathetic to see the man so whipped.

Anyway, Mooron was suckered into a 'rendezvous' with LP and he
quickly found out how much of a blind sucker he had been and how
she was just playing with him while he took it all seriously. He was
crushed and now he's ashamed to show his face around here again . . .

Can't say as I blame him for hiding his shame.

how do you know all this? Did he e-mail you? Don't let booby find out ,
he'll throw one of his jelous tantrums and call you a liar. He's very close
to edge right now.

Obviously a farce since Mooron knows no shame....

What are you trying to tell me here? Maybe you should reply by e-mail...

LP ( just can't figure Capt. Mooron out...sigh)

Easy. Boats first, rum second, women afterwards. Sometimes, long
afterwards as the first 2 are cheaper, more reliable in effect and more
predictable WRT the aftermath. Buy a crab crusher, keep it in a warm
climate and ask Mooron to teach you to sail it, all the OP rum he can
drink laid on plus other bennies.

Might work.....

LOL! Typical male response.

rofl. That's great advice! I know of a Nordica-30 for sale, but I would
have to have his brand of OP imported.

Thanks! ;-)

Years of experience..... "To outfit a boat will cause you much trouble,
but to outfit a woman, the expenses are double." If you have the boat,
finding women to crew isn't a problem (except for losers like Simon).

I suspect he's not *that* fussy. Any rum 100 proof or over will
probably do. Speaking as a long-term rum drinker myself, I wouldn't
bother with white rums. Inner Circle OP (unobtainable in the USA) is
good, a dark rum with lots of flavour and 75% ethanol content. Bundy OP
isn't bad either, we were drinking that last weekend, but it's only
57%. Teenage children have some uses once they learn how much ice goes
in the rum. There may be hope for them yet.

A full keel cruising sailboat, not one of those fin keeled things that
draw too much water to get into shallow anchorages and don't track

OP can mean "Overproof" but OP can mean Orther People's. I'm sure
Mooron will execpt either!

Oh, but I bet he is...but I'm sure any would do in a pinch.

I drink Myers's Rum (original dark 40%). I admit I haven't tried many
others...I don't care for Captain Morgan, too much spice.

Hehee. I will have to remember that, although I still haven't figured out
how to get my boys to clean their rooms get. Somedays it looks like a F-3
tornado runs through their rooms. :-)

Thanks, I'll have to look the different keels up on the internet to see what
they look like.

Yeah, I don't like it either. Might be cheap, but not sufficiently so.

Give up. What I do for my teenage daughters is give them 24 hours
warning that I'm going to sweep the entire load of crap on their floor
straight down the passageway and into the bin. After the first time I
did that, they got smart enough to pick up the stuff they really wanted
before I did it. Lotta screaming & tears that first time but they got
the message. Still don't clean their rooms but I don't bother much
about it either, easier to go the clean sweep than pick over the bomb
site. I'm on a plane and somewhere else by the time they work out some
stuff is gone forever :-)

Yeah, sure, Katy. It's possible, just not as forgiving and every boat
seems to have an autopilot these days anyway. What you can't do
anywhere near as easily is haul out in odd places which doesn't matter
to you, where you are, but does matter if you want to go cruising in
backwater places in the Pacific. Ditto if you hit something or snag a
line; the full keel offers better protection to the prop & rudder. You
can also tuck into a protected corner or get over a bar where the
water's too shallow for deeper draft boats. Everything's a compromise,
it's just a matter of weighting the tradeoffs.

The front of my place is tidal, but there's deep water 400m offshore
and a private marine railway a little closer than that. I can park
something that draws 1.5m or less a lot closer than something drawing
2m plus. In fact I can park a shoal draft full keel boat on the tidal
flat to do bottom work without any dramas or expense. It won't point
as high or go as fast, but what the hell. If I wanted max speed I'd
have a multihull or a displacement diesel powerboat (aka 'trawler') and
if I wanted something that pointed as high as possible I'd buy
something like Navvie's Farr and change headsails every time the wind
speed changed by 5 knots while resigning myself to always sailing with
a crew. Tradeoffs and if my goals change so will my tools (ie boat).

Christmas Eve and time I was drinking. Packed another 4 crates of
machine tools, castings & accessories to ship south. Good thing freight
companies charge by volume & not weight, one of the crates has 3 cast
iron cannon barrels in it and they weigh about 75 kg each, plus another
250 kg of castings for future projects. Only another 8 tonnes of
tooling to go.....
