About as often as you said you're a cruising sailor.... twist and shout all
you
want but you ALWAYS WIN, even when you're stupid.

Hahahaha... sure bob, just like you're an experienced sailor.

When did I say I was an experienced sailor, Ganzy? Is it attached to your
list
of serious spartan cruisers with no comfort?

Bwahahahahahaha!

Jax claims an IQ of 154
*based on the MENSA IQ test*. This test uses a standard deviation of
24, instead of the more typical 15. Therefore, his claimed IQ, in
numbers most of us are more used to using, is in the low 130s.

130 to 135 to 137 to 140 to 145 to 154, depending on the test. 98.5%tile on
most tests. 96%tile on some, 99.5% on others.

Who the **** cares but the low ball types.

As to the original question, I'd vote for refrigeration;

of course you would

I love
refrigeration

yes, you like your night excess alcohol intake to be **COLD**.

And, yes, I'd bring along my sextant (mostly 'cause it
gets bored just sitting there doing nothing, although my slide rule
keeps it company).

along with your SylvaniaVision(r) black and white television.

so, take a sextant and almanac and sight tables and timex's(with extra
batteries) and ssb (for time checks)(with battery backup) and calculators (with
extra batteries), work pads, temp compensators, and practise, practise,
practise, practise just in case the DOD decides to get you.

You best hope there are enough sunny days so you can tell north from south, and
east from west, which if you know that you can find land anyway.

Oh, btw, remove enough provisions to store all that useless antique stuff
above.

I certainly won't remove the rum. I shudder to think of that.

So, what you're saying is, besides the implication that you're

This is patently wrong. What would Neal do without his
blow up girlfriend?

You could loan him your blow up boyfriend.

Not a good way to approach Bermuda. There's reefs and stuff.

You carry one on your ''long distance'' 3 day cruises?

Can't see why a long distance cruiser wouldn't
carry one for that very rare instance.

Wonder how many have died from heart failure on a boat as opposed to a multi
sinking?

Hey Bubbles, when I did my first delivery of a multi over about 1200
miles, I carried a raft.

I'm sorry, Ozzy. Multis can be sunk or damaged in such a way that a
liferaft
should be aboard.

Because its very very rare indeed.
Look at the 60' race tris that suffer massive damage including losing
whole amas yet SAIL home!
You'd stand a far better chance of dying in a car crash on the way to
hospital after being mauled by a shark at the aquarium.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Of course, since you would be next to
the dock when you swamp the boat because of your excessive weight,
they would probably just throw you a line.

A really big line, 1'' or more, hooked to a tow truck, might just do it.
