It's heavier but is it soft enough to cushion possible
impacts with the sea bottom? Since it is used to pierce
armor I've got a feeling it is pretty stout stuff.

S.Simon

Cushion?
WTF are you talking about?


You know, when a sailor runs into a rock or other
hard object on the bottom - maybe a coral head
it is said that lead, being soft, will cushion the
blow by deforming and absorbing some of the
force thus sparing the structure of the yacht.

Bwaaahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa!
Cappy that rates among the most idiotic things that you've ever
written!!


It did not originate with me but I can see the logic of it.

Your reaction, on the other hand, is illogical.

Oh Geez, it is truly amazing what passes for logic in your mind.

It was the reaction of anyone with more than an elementary school
education, a few moments exposure to high school physics, and the world
outside a mental institution.

But then I guess you applied the same logic to your selection of
galvanized pipe to repair your broken boom.

Master mariner, indeed. If you ever left your mooring you would be a
hazard to navigation. As it is you are just a bad joke, a health hazard,
and a marine pollutant.

Hey mister toy tugboat skipper, what makes you
so jealous of me? Is it because you know with
your silly restored tugboat you really can't go
anywhere, do anything, or even manage to fool
yourself into thinking you are enjoying yourself?

The only enjoyment you get out of your silly
vessel is satisfaction you get when you think
people are actually admiring your restoration
efforts when all the while they are thinking,
"waste of time, effort and money on a pipe
dream".

Real men such as those of us who live aboard
and cruise and voyage under sail do not need
the 'cosmetic' approval of a stream of dock
passers-by to build up a sagging ego. We are
secure in the knowledge that we are living
a life centered on enjoying mother nature
and the beauty of sail - not the polyurethane,
chrome, wax, and buffer world of you
showboaters.

Sorry to take so long to reply, I just sailed into cell phone range of
Ketchikan and got a connection. Yeah, I spend all my time moored to an
old engine block. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahah

A little jealousy of real sailors with real boats there Nil?

Bwahahahahahahahaahahahahah Gimmme a break, harldy a man, certainly not
a sailor, and the only cruisng you do is on the net or riding your bike
past schoolyards hoping to score ...

Bwahahahahahahahaahahahah like I said before, a hazard to navigation
if you ever got loose of that mooring and a marine pollutant the rest of
the time.
