Yep. Nothing wrong with that. I'm not sure of sea smell though.. given
his accomodations.

Yeah Jon,

He goes 'round & 'round, just like the Moon. Just like the Moon, he
never loses sight of his mooring.

So what? He is still on his vessel, on the water and still feels the
motion of the water and gets the smell of sea air. A lot more often than
I do.

Not enough tonnage to take a

No, I let the ships handle that.;

Get your wife to walk out front and you'd have a CONVOY!!!

Bwahahahaha!

That's a good reason to get a license right there.

It's always more fun to be up front where the action is.

Once, on a clear flying day, traveling Space-A on a KC-10
tanker, after chatting a while with the crew chief, he
invited me to take a seat behind the pilot of jet while
flying over the Grand Canyon. That was a treat.

Many Capt. keep a small copy of their licences in the wallet, Its
like a cops badge, gets onboard most ships anywere and into any
wheelhouse underway. The Galveston Ferry captian let me dock on the
boliver side once, That was a kick, had 50+ cars and a couple of big
rigs onboard.

You are right Neal. It is hard to break the
shore bonds and go. It takes money, a good
boat, skill, guts, and either an understanding
woman or the resolve to go anyway.

You have to have nearly all of these to do it.
The payoff is great. Island hopping in the
Caribbean has to be the best lifestyle of all.

A friend of mine's wife didn't want to go.
Now he has a girlfriend who loves his boat and
is eager to go. He has the right attitude, make
it happen while you can.

Another fellow I know waited until he was 65 and
had heart problems to decide to go. He only
sailed his boat a few times before having a heart
attack and dying. Don't wait--do it soon! Do it
now!

It is better to go right away, than to wait for a
better boat or better circumstances. The time to
start having fun is now.

NONE of you fools are cruising sailors and
none of you will ever be because you don't
have the balls or the inclination. You'd rather
be tied up at your docks or ensconced in your
hovels ashore sucking up to your women who
won't let you quit your jobs and go cruising.

It's as simple as that. You are all slaves to
your life ashore and even if you weren't
you would find another excuse, any excuse
to not go cruising, because you are afraid
and not skilled enough and don't have a
boat that can handle it.

Oh Kraz,

It isn't your lack of sailing that bothers me it's that BS theme about
others that keeps you from being a seaman.

A true sailor doesn't even worry about others. If you'd go sailing you
wouldn't care about the behavior of others

Bull****. Space-A on a tanker?

Horass, there are several people who are full of sh*t here,
of course, you are one of them, so you know this to be true,
but Bart is not one of them.
