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.

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

Your reaction, on the other hand, is illogical.

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.
