Really Wally. Do better.

I was being facetious.

Why? Ed is clearly having fun with his boat. Does this bother you? Why not be
supportive?

I wonder if his road map shows depth contours.

I wonder what he'd do if the wind dropped to below 9mph.

You think he'll have problems with grounding that little boat...or getting it
free? I rarely looked at a chart when sailing the CD Typhoon either.

Not to get in-between what is shaping up to be a good fight, but we were all
over the points of sail. In general we beat it out and ran back. As for the
road map I use, it doesn't show depth, but I have a kick up centerboard that
stats to make a funny noise when it scraps the bottom. Is there a term for
that? I suppose I'm supposed to yell out" "scrapings-a-hove" or some such
thing. That does it, damnit! I'm getting a cheesy fake parrot to pin to the
shoulder of my wetsuit and I'm getting an eye patch, too.

Something like, "oops", "ah", or "very interesting" will suffice.

You have to start from the basics - name your boat after a famous pirate
ship and fly the Jolly Roger. Then work on the parrot and the eye patch.

Yes. It's called running aground.

I believe the proper nautical terminology is "Crap! Pull the
centerboard up!"

Yes Bob..... that is more than evident! ;-)

Why is this an issue?
