This is true. So, who will you become and shall I rename myself too (How
about 'Salty')? Then we can really talk about lovely sailing! I'll even
tell you about the impromptu race we won last weekend against a
formidable fleet leaving the same harbour after the long weekend! It was
15-25 knots at 40-70 deg app with our boat speed of up to 8.6 knots. It
took us 1 hour to pass one of our sister boats to windward. It was great
watching her roll to at least 45 in the swell and sea and realize we
must be doing the same! We had a couple of lovely evenings after 20-30
mile sails with great wine and a few DVD's. Sleep was broken only by the
dawn chorus and the cats asking us to get up and play.

Are you having yet another "hissy fit"?

Don't go out like a big fairy wimp!

Look, I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to get wound up over
Beneteau floorboards recently. I've been tired recently, and I haven't been
up to my usual performance levels. I'll try harder. I promise!


Don't go! Please!! If you stay, then I promise that I will get really
*mad* every time that you mention a Beneteau's cabin sole.


I've managed to do it for the last three years. If you give me another
chance, I'm sure that I can do it for another three years!!

The main was down on the traveller. Letting the main out more only
slowed the boat. The #2 was up and no one else had reefs. The swell was
about 2m and quatering. The roll was impressive but the angle was wrong
to get real surfing action. Helm was quite neutral except when rolling
hard over. What would you do?

Bob's quite nice, in a nasty sort of way. The machismo that he displays
here is the counterbalance to his behaviour in real life.

You can't even think up your own insults - so you copy Bob's!

Honestly, you're so dumb.... I bet that the best 5 years of your life were
