Not to worry, Jax only sails as crew, where he's limited to sitting in
the cockpit with his hands clasped together and told to sit still.
Although I'd agree he has a definite phobia regarding rocks, it is only one.
His greater phobia is having to answer questions (you'll note he's
answered none posed). This, coupled with his phobia regarding
intelligent discussion, tends to make anything he says, useless, at
worst, and a nuisance at best, since others have to waste so much time
correcting the errors in his reading comprehension, every time he post
one of his poorly researched "Jaxisms"..... it generally has it's
amusement value, however, which can be considered a positive aspect.

I am beginning to feel sorry for him. Jax obviously has deep seated
fears where rocks are concerned. Perhaps the neighborhood kids used
to throw rocks at young Jax. In any event, the idea of venturing out
on the water where rocks might lurk, unmarked with lights to mark
their presence, seems to have Jax paralyzed with fear. I suppose with
someone with such a phobia, even miles may seem like a mere 60 yards.
Indeed, even with triple GPS redundancy his fear of rocks cannot be
overcome. I think we can just chalk this up to an area that requires
some intensive psychotherapy. It seems that the prescribed piloting
courses will not be sufficient.

Let's pray that no one tells him about the pirates up that way...



It was never one of my favorite systems,

Hardly "crew." A more accurate description might be "self loading ballast."

LOL I'm not too sure about the self loading part.
