jeffies, I never used the word "lost", only you did. I have never used the
word "Maine", only you did.

On the other hand, *you* have never used the term "training wheels" for your
boat, only the rest of the world has.

I've been "out there" many times, jaxie, but I've never been lost like you
were.
What you describe is the anxiety of navigating inshore amongst the rocks of
the
Maine Coast, in the fog, before the days of Loran and Radar. Where you
were,
with 3 GPS's and Loran, you should have had no doubt at all, and you
shouldn't
have been within 5 miles of a hazard.

no jeffies, it did not mean we were withing 100 feet of hitting something.
It
meant we hadn't yet seen a light we expected to see, and if we didn't see
it
****soon**** we would do the prudent thing and backtrack until we were
sure
the light was out or something. we found the light right where it was
expected.

go out there sometime jeffies and you will find out that one does indeed
watch
for lights. training wheels motorboat operators, on the other hand, motor
a
bit and stop, motor a bit and stop, stay stopped because it might rain or
the
bread is stale or whatever.

Right. You said "we were within 20 seconds of turning around". That
sounds
an
awful lot like you were lost. Especially since you can go 5 miles inside
of
a
light with 38 mile visibility. At 3 knots, that means you were afraid you
were
within 100 feet of bumping into a "rock." Given that there are no
hazards,
other than Diamond Shoals, which is very well marked and easy to avoid,
its
sounds a lot like you were lost.

You had two GPS's on board and you were lost?


actually, we had three, and a LORAN and a fine, fine sextant with
tables
and
chronometer and radio for time ticks.

we weren't lost, and nobody but you has said we were.

and why, jeffies, to *you* keep talking about dirty pants when
discussing
being
on the ocean at night in a flat calm?

the possibility you were
changing your pants is looking stronger.

I love it when you go into your "training wheels" routine. It just reeks of
jealously! You'll never have a boat as nice as mine; and you'll certainly never
have the pleasure of taking your family anywhere!

Are they making Tonka trucks out of plastic now? What a shame.

Tonka (of Mound MN and on Lake Minnetonka) has been out of business for years.

Used to be one fine run in a sportscar down Cty Rd 15, Wayzata to Mound. Bunch
of curves posted 15 mph to 45 that with skill could be taken at 3x.

You didn't google hard enough. Tonka was acquired by Hasbro in 1991, and as a
division of Hasbro still makes trucks.
