ANd the moral of that tail is not to let Bobsprit's scenario even
begin to start.


But THAT scenario IS the WHAT IF question. To talk of defeating the fire is
simply not part of the question.

Nutsy,

That scenario you post for the High Rise in NYC really doesn't apply to
a vessel on the High Sea. In my mind!

it does for bob, as that's where he does most of his 'sailing'.

Good God!! Guys do you close up your vessel during fuelling?

I'm not sure what you're saying here Thom; I believe one should keep a boat
closed up when taking on fuel, especially gas.

Yes, I know. It's just that scenarios based on rank stupidity
irritate me.

You lose again, Thom. The hatchboard is generally kept in the cockpit locker.
You just can't admit your wrong, Thom. Pretty sad for an old fella.


Pot, kettle, black, except for the "old fella" part. But we can just substitue
"fat fella".

Good God!! Guys do you close up your vessel during fuelling? I think
that the both of you should do some serious research, and fast, about
fire safety.


Thom, I posted links showing you're wrong. The final line of defense is to
confine and slow the fire. Again, try READING the facts....Scroll down to
RESTRICT THE FIRE section and learn.

Who cares what this says? If anyone thinks sealing up a vessel in the hopes
that it will put out a fire while you wait on deck not knowing or doing
anything, then he is an idiot, regardless of the size of his stern ladder.

Donal complains about your geography, but he considers the Portsmouth
Harbour entrance, which is about 8 miles up the Solent, to be "offshore."

You are hallucinating, Jeff.

What on Earth makes you say that I think that Portsmouth Harbour entrance is
"offshore"?

I really think that you should consider withdrawing that silly remark.
