I never said anything of the kind. All I said is that I've never seen it
or heard of it.


Holy backpedal, Batman!!!!

The whole truth and nuthin' but the truth. No backpedal. But go ahead
and say that 1- everybody knows you're full of **** and 2- it'll help
you feel like you're "winning."

Nice looking day for a sail, nice clean decks. You should flake or
coil your lines. Sail looks to be set just fine for the conditions. By
the looks of your flag seems it blowing a bit. Looks Ok to me.

Where are you sailing?

Did you leave Plowsville?

When were the pictures taken?

it was. good strong wind all day.

I know, but I'm lazy.

It had died some when I took the pic.



Where are you sailing?

Chesapeake Bay, known as the Finest Cruising Grounds in the World. That's
Rock Hall , where we spent the prev. night, behind us



Did you leave Plowsville?

Got to sometimes. The one thing that's missing in Plowville is sailing
water.



When were the pictures taken?

6/6/04, between noon and noon thirty.

I would have taken out the reef long ago.


If we were all the same or did things the exact same way, the world would be
a very boring place.

Katy, I'm not sure you have a proper appreciation for the great
traditions and history of sailing through the years.

Ah, but I do, we sailed with only a compass, and then only a compass and
radio for years....If any of the hitorical figures you mentioned had
instruments, they might have been better off, known where they were going,
and foreseen problems.

Yes, nice, friendly people.

No you wouldn't have.

Jon asked:
-- Why don't you get two wheels and some electric winches.

Because he;s a Luddite with a motorboat that sails....

I don't think I can buy your argument, Katy. A wind instrument gives
essentially no information that an experienced observer can't deduce by eye. On
a trailerable boat, an anemometer is a pain to deal with.
