Joe answered the challenge like a man and promptly e-mailed me current pics of
his boat....which appear to match the old one.

Looks better than the average Beneteau, wouldn't you say? Hopefully, Joe will
be forthcoming on the details of this interesting vessel

actually Ive never had to put them on at sea yet, My bow is fast to
rise on any wave. I think its going to have to be in the 30-40 foot
size wave before I become concerned. How about you boat Johnathan?

How about my boat? It's a Cal 20. It's designed for the SF bay and environs.
It's perfect for my use. I have free access to larger boats for the SF bay
to
near coastal destinations, e.g., Monterey, Bodega. If I want to go somewhere
else, I charter or do a delivery.

What I was talking about is you "protecting" yourself from pirates with your
shields. I thought maybe you button up at night in the tropics just to be
safe.
Either that or you pray a lot.

Yeah me to, if I want access to lets say a 1600 ton boat, towing a
million ton rig I will take a delivery job as well. But i perfer to
just you my boat, it perfect for crusisng anywere on earth.

No, just keep a 24 hour watch if needed. I did think about gun slots
in the shields but decided against it.

Either that or you pray a lot.

No dont pray much at all, who needs to pray for protection when you
can protect yourself. They say god help those who help themselfs so Id
rather spend time at a gun range than on my knees praying.

I think that either English is a second language for you or
your IQ is even lower than we thought.

I suppose you keep a 24-hour watch in the BVI also. From
your perspective, I guess that makes sense.

I think you missed the mark by not putting slots in the shields.
It would have added to the boat's attractiveness to pirates.

Well, you brought up being on your knees. Have you talked
to Horass lately?

Joe, your big windows facing forward will come in handy for you to
watch me passing you on the way to Red Fish Island. I'm temporarily
grounded because of deadlines at my office and the recent thunderstorms
here in Kemah, but I hope to see you in a few weeks.

Grounded? You wuss. Big talking wannabe. You said you were ready for
some serious sailing. I remember a 75 knot braggart. The thunderstorms
here havent been over 60 knots you puss. You starting to sound like
Johanthan.

Meet me at the kemah boardwalk at 5PM tommorow I be heading out for
cool eve sail. Dont matter what the weather is like I take you on to
redfish and back, or the morgan point light tower and back for our
bet. I have some dupons for the Aquariun if that will help you get to
the start,

Joe

So when you wanna race macboy?

Why yes I do! Thanks for asking.

But im smart enough to keep up with the weather and sea state.

I will mount the shields well before they are needed, I will not wait
to be in the thick of it before I mount them. Most likey just after
hoisting the storm jib, dousing the main and reefing the mizzen I will
mount the shields.

Thats one reason I thought they screwed the reputation of the capt of
the Lisa marie(?)in the Perfect Storm. Waiting till the wind was
80knots and the boards flying away like that, Any person expecting the
type of weather he was going to see would mount the shields asap, not
wait till he was in the thick of it. That and they had him turn to
ride with the seas, made a big deal of it, and the wave that wipes him
out comes strait at him (Flick Flub) and several other things like the
stabilizer birds poppin out of the water and flying about. It was all
for the lubber viewers to get excited about, but in doing so the film
maker discraced the skipper by making him look like a lubbery skipper
with no true skills or knowledge of his vessel and its capabilitys.
