How Many Anchors Part II
 

Let's not play that game Bob.... you know darned well which trip I'm
referring to! It's not like you've done very many overnight passages or
extended bay sailing.

I did 5 weekend trips last season, Mooron. Norwalk, Oyster Bay, NY Harbor &
Jersey City, and so on. Close short trips, but the best we could do with
Suzanne in school. You can move you boat anywhere, but it still doesn't make
you anything better than someone who sails on a mile wide lake.
Using the boat is the key and I use mine more than most folks. You seem pretty
bitter these days because your boat isn't getting much use of any kind.
I think we both know that.

Good Grief..... following that logic you may as well put your boat in a
swimming pool and turn on a fan.

Yup, I've seen those mini racers with the giant fans. Looks like fun for
someone who likes to sail.
Here's a wakeup call for you, Mooron. Some people sail all their lives on small
boats on small lakes. There's a couple with a Catalina 34 at my club. They do
an rare weekend local trip, but mostly daysail with their son. They love it.
The thrill of sailing is something they adore, even when it's nearby. They love
sailing much more than drinking you see.
See if you can wrap your mind around that one. Have some coffee. Try harder.

That may well be... but none of them seem inclined to promote and advertise
their every outing as an excursion of reportable merit.

I'm deliriously happy at their ability to be so easily satisfied and envious
of their boredom thresholds.

Why not just learn to share your pleasurable pursuits and combine sailing &
drinking like I do? Combine it with sailing in new areas and the feast is
complete.

I'm having a high test Timmy's at the moment.... x-large, 3 sugar and a
generous dollop of fine Lamb's Navy Overproof Rum to spice it to perfection.
I wish you could understand the fine nautical custom of splicing the main
brace..... some liquid courage might assist you in expanding your severely
limited sailing horizons Bob!

Have you ever sailed anywhere but the LIS???

I think this is certainly "your" problem. I'm just sharing with the group. If
you ever sail, perhaps you'd be kind enough to do the same? Even Scotty Potty
posts pics of his boat sailing. Somehow this threatens you and I think we both
know why.
Mooron, you're not sailing. You're not sailing and you resent others for being
able to sail, even on a modest basis.
Admit it. I'll understand.

Bored by a boat under sail???? Good golly! Like I said, you either love the
feel of a boat under sail or you don't. They do. You don't.

Nah, like me they'd rather live longer and be healthy. People who sail and
drink are really no better than people who drink and drive.

Sure...Jersey Coast, NY Harbor, Trinidad and Tobago, North Carolina, quite a
few lakes...why do you ask? Does that mean something? Please explain???
Mooron...it's a deep grave you've dug yourself. I'm loving every minute of
it!!!
